Rounding out the 50 book challenge
So I finished the 50 book challenge during my flight home, somewhere over North Dakota. Book #50 was The Street Smart Naturalist: Field Notes from Seattle. I will probably refer back to this book a lot over the next few months. The chapters about earthquakes and geese were particularly interesting. I do wish it included pictures, though, as a lot ( Read more... ) -
Moo. Moo. Moo.
I agree with my cousin that this cow's beautiful moo songs should be shared with the world.

The road west
Tuesday, 11/27
Dayton, OH to Effingham, IL
The moving van arrived in the mid-morning. The movers did a lot of grumbling about the narrow, steep staircase but managed to get the sofa out eventually.

Seattle at last
I'm writing this from a cozy little non-Starbucks coffee shop in what will be my new neighborhood. I move in on Saturday and am bunking at an EconoLodge until then. Dude, I can't believe I live here. My cousin did a fantastic job with the recommendation. This neighborhood looks to be very, very walkable and unbelievably scenic. It's right on Puget ( Read more... )
