A modest announcement 🙂
For those of you who have not already seen this breaking across Facebook, Google+, or Twitter tonight, and I would like to announce that on March 2nd, we will be getting a Canadian marriage license!

Raspberry Girl
As y’all know I’ve grown quite fond of daily stops to visit the nice boys who run the table for Frank’s at Pike Place. I know a few of them by name and a few more of them by face at this point, and several of them know me. One of them, a young rather…

iTunes 10 user? Annoyed by moving of Close/Minimize/Zoom buttons?

Wonder no more! My laptop had been making these weird rattly noises for a while now, as well as running periodically far hotter than it seemed like it should. Replacing the hard drive didn’t help (although it did double my hard drive capacity, which of course was awesome). Neither did taking a can of electronics…

Whoa! Was I EVER this small?
Here’s one of the good reasons to be on Facebook: a lot of my relatives who I otherwise would not be in touch with are there. One of my cousins found me there last night, letting me know that she’s putting together a memorial DVD to honor my uncle Marion who recently died and offering…

Unexpectedly exciting walk home last night
As y’all probably know, one of the big reasons I like to work downtown is that I get a really nice walk through Pike Place Market and along Elliott Avenue on my way to my workplace, and back again in the afternoon. Gives me a nice view of the water, and the sidewalks are wide…
