• Pop quiz: I am going to Seattle in one week, to see a concert and celebrate my birthday. I have one free day to spend around the city. What should I do? Of note: I do not find people throwing fish through the air terribly entertaining.

For the first time in countless months I can say I have nothing planned for tomorrow. It is strange and kind of scary.

We're now putting in new flooring (goodbye nasty carpet!) We got bamboo flooring from here, we got about a third of the place done today ( Read more... )
