January 16, 2012 – A few months ago, on the spur of the moment, we decided to go to France in the Spring. So now that Christmas is out of the way we are starting to think about it a bit more and Kirk has been looking into flights. A woman in my office was there for a month or…

Day 352 – Buskers, Birds, and Books

Day 2 in Seattle and we just spent the day wandering and enjoying the city. We meandered through Pike Place Market and watched people wake up. This person was busking outside of a bookstore at the market. We thought we’d stop by the original Starbucks and pick up a coffee, but apparently half the city had the same idea. The…

Day 161 – Into the Mountains

161/365 (June 10, 2011) – I don’t understand the human fascination with fighting. I suppose if two humans want to get in a ring and beat the tar out of each other, that’s their choice. But why must we persist in brutalities such as bullfighting, pit (dog) fighting, cockfighting…. I just don’t get it. These are fighting cocks. They are…
