Check out who dropped by this afternoon, just as we were getting ready to leave for Anacortes. Sorry for the blur, photos taken through the back sliding glass door.

This weekend, I finished a book that, halfway through, I considered not finishing at all. The reason was that the protagonist was so disgusting and evil that she made me almost physically sick. I decided to just skim through the second half, just to see if she suffered the consequences of her depraved behavior. The …

The past weekend was Seafair in Seattle, a city-wide celebration that has gone on for many decades. There are events all over the city, including the big Torchlight Parade through downtown, and the big food festival Bite of Seattle.

They set off the fireworks literally right over your heads, across the street from the roof of the Bellevue Square parking garage. This year, it was especially crowded, due to the celebration of America's 250th …
