I mean, they’re already here. And I’m going to see them. Tomorrow, as a birthday treat, my sister is taking me to the Seattle Art Museum to see the Roman Art exhibit on loan from the Louvre. It’s only there until May 11th, and if we go this weekend, we can see the brass GatesContinue reading “the romans are coming!”

I love baseball.  Seattle Mariners baseball, to be specific. Sure, they haven’t exactly made it to the world series or anything, but heck, it’s baseball. I love football, too, but one of the big differences between being a fan of the two is; while I can watch a Seahawks football game and get excited, IContinue reading “mr. innappropriate”

So far, so good. Since Monday, I’ve made it home after work and managed to avoid lying down on the couch for a pre-dinner snooze !

I know it’s Thursday, but I’m not here today – so I’m not around to comment on blogs or post anything interesting, so I thought I’d schedule this to pop up while I spend my Thursday at a funeral in Kent. At least it’ll be sunny, like it has been all Wednesday. Sunny and warm,Continue reading “tgi. . . t?”

For the record, I don’t lease cars. I buy them. But just now I was listening to the radio and one of those commercials came on, where a dealership is telling you that you could lease one of their brand new cars for NO MONEY DOWN! Yes, that’s right, just sign on the dotted lineContinue reading “when free is expensive”

So I was at Best Buy on Saturday, after taking Mom out for birthday dinner at Red Lobster, my sister and I took her shopping to buy presents, and one of those trips was to Best Buy to grab a couple of movies she wanted.
