My first trip of Indie Bookstore Day yielded a couple of books, a cookie and a cappuccino at Third Place. I’d say it’s a success! I’ll be trying to hit up all the indie shops in town over the next week to complete my passport book.
I photo-walked to a neighborhood shop for coffee and breakfast first thing yesterday. It was a beautiful morning to get out for a walk.
Mods are asleep, post desktops.
This sea of people at Seattle’s Hands-Off rally yesterday was an energizing affirmation. Even after moving much closer to the front, I could still barely hear anything coming from the stage, but the energy and happiness of the crowd — to unify and to recognize in one another the hope we require — was just what I needed.
One year ago, we were on an exploratory trip to the place that’s now our home. I’m glad we’re here.
We’ve received lots of rain this weekend, giving the newly-blooming trees a good soak.
Brought back an old favorite, today: the hatchback breakfast burrito on a grocery trip.
Out and about for some errands. I always like the intersecting lines and angles on this corner.
My wife got me a special Christmas gift: Espresso class at Anchorhead! This was so fun and educational for me. We started with a tasting exercise and then dug into the mechanics of espresso extraction, and I got to practice on the Big Kid Machine in the lab. I have lots to practice on my own (but not today; I am absolutely blitzed with caffeine). Gifts of neat experiences are the best!
