One week from today, we will be loading our U-haul and heading out on the 22+ hour drive to Colorado. We will stop briefly in Spokane to say our last farewells to my family there and then the highways will lead us through Montana and Wyoming until we arrive in our new city. There will [...]

Today, I find myself homesick for a city that I haven’t yet left nor ever really felt at home in.

Obviously, I’ve neglected my blog. Ever since we decided to move to Denver, any free time I have outside of work has been spent with my frenemy, Craigslist. I’m either job hunting or house hunting or selling furniture. I am entirely sick of staring at a computer screen. I’ve had two interviews for a marketing [...]

On Saturday, we drove over to West Seattle to do some [more] neighborhood exploring. Our first stop was Alki, a first visit for Adam. Herc was in tow, so we parked early on and walked a decent distance along the path toward the sandy beaches. I nearly died when Herc, who wanted so, so badly to [...]

We were walking Herc a week or two ago in Queen Anne when I spotted these flowers (maybe weeds? whatever) and insisted that Adam snap a shot with his iphone. Pretty, pretty, I say. While I have my heart set on moving in the next year or two, I sometimes wonder if any city I move [...]

Let’s Go Sailing Recommendation: Go on the 1.5 hour cruise of the sound with Let’s Go Sailing. Entertain yourself if you’re bored, go for the photo ops, show off the sights to visitors, whatever. Go because you should really see Seattle from the water. I live in a damn beautiful city. My parents are leaving Scotland [...]

I’m home from Denver and sitting here with two broken toes and an intense craving for chile rellenos. I worked in N. Colorado for a summer when I was in high school, but aside from a quick trip to Six Flags, had not spent time in Denver prior to this trip. Granted we didn’t do any sightseeing, [...]

Today, I sail. Tomorrow, I fly. Sunglasses, sunscreen and a 12 pack. It’s time for my office to hit the high seas of the sound on our sailing adventure. While I doubt it’ll be all that adventurous really, I did just realize we’ll be out on the water, while the Blue Angels are flying over. [...]

My parents wrote me from Dublin today. They’re in the middle of a nearly month-long trip during which they have visited family on the east coast and then jumped over to the UK where they will spend the rest of their time. As my parents described their awe of Christ Church Cathedral, I found myself anxious to [...]
