June 1

 

Today was a choose-your-own-adventure day wherein Markus and I chose to go on a bike ride downtown to see where the spirit led. Most of the time, when left to it's own devices, the spirit does a good job.

 

Snacks and coffee on the pier, a stroll through Pike, a leisurely cycle through the waterfront park...it was all a very pleasant beginning to June.

 

 

 

January 20

The sun returned today after a good long sabbatical behind curtains of fog and cloud, and it was a wonderful thing to welcome her back. And really, she was in spectacular form. There is research that speculates that better weather causes better moods, and I am a firm believer in this research as fact. Markus and I walked along the water and sauntered through the Sunday Market and I hemmed and hawed over a pair of whitewashed mirrors...

"for my future house one day, you know?"
"What are you going to do with them now?"
" Oh I don't know...nothing probably, but..."

This kind of behavior gave birth to the show Hoarders.

Other things to be celebrated: The long life of this weekend. Tomorrow we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. with a day off work, a day in bed. And probably a cake. It means today is another day to play without a care.
