Uncle Markie out and about.
Refresh for a different picture!
Days change, as do plans. Got a call late yesterday from the stove folks…. they have the pipe, but no fittings. Let’s try this again next Tuesday. Sweltering heat in Seattle. Jameson ended up sleeping on the deck last night because of how hot the house was — and today it was 95 degrees and [...]
Doing my morning web cruising with my coffee — I find that I am truly just a neophyte in the flying for miles world. I thought that getting Alaska’s MVP status (free upgrades to first class when available, mileage bonuses, etc) with 8 segments and under a thousand dollars was truly a feat — but [...]
Once again, no run to the church today. The reasons: Email from Lynne, she’s headed to town to deal with a friend who had emergency heart surgery Saturday morning and didn’t make it. Work needs doing on the Shirts of Bamboo wholesale push. Called Seattle Home Appliance — and the parts are finally in and [...]
John and Joan came for a visit at 10 — that gave me time to get ready for the big Roving Faerie BBQ. I’m thinking a dozen or so people will show up — but something in my gut says it may be more since Roushdi is driving up from Vancouver, AC (that would be [...]
Still no real coffee at the house, but starting at 10am this morning we have the beginning of Faerie Spirit Revival Weekend with Faerie Coffee moved to Swanda in the International District (my old shared digs). I was surprised to arrive promptly at 10 and find half a dozen people. Damn — usually those faerie [...]
Phone rang at 7:30am — not my best time considering I forgot to get coffee at the store yesterday and I’m reduced to drinking decaf Kona coffee in packets from my Hawaii cruise with Wonderful last January. Dan at SOB with wholesale woes. Means I’m spending my day dealing with wholesale stuff (the upside = [...]
Finally got around to sewing the curtains for the living room and dining room. Cafe curtains out of this 40′s feel material with a rose pattern (after Rose Street). It’s sort of a crinkled crepe fabric that was a bitch to sew. With so many color in it, I have to use transparent thread to [...]
Happy 4th of July. For some reason, Chris headed back to the city before Curt and I were out of bed — but he made good coffee for us and left a couple of bananas. Curt and I eventually (10:30) had breakfast on the deck overlooking the bay. Damn, I could get used to this. [...]
Nothing like nitrous oxide on a stomach with 4 cups of coffee in it. Cleaning is done — final crow placement in a couple of weeks. Nice — a couple of weeks without pain. Discovered a strange little park this morning — pulled their to finish my dog from Uli’s Meats in the Market. I [...]
Wandering around the house in the morning thinking about today’s projects…. curtains? more garage organizing? fix the hot tub? Guess the first thing I should do is get my crown fix appointmentsettled. Looks like tomorrow they can squeeze me in to put the old one back on until they can permanently fix it (as in [...]
Maybe we are leaving St. Louis. What they say about late evening flights is correct. Maybe next time I’ll stay at the airport Marriott on the next SOB flight. Instead of home at 9:55 it’s 12:30am… at least the last flight had a seriously gay flight attendant in first class (where thankfully I am). More [...]
Flight out of Tampa late by45 minutes … and now the connection is running2 hours late. Gotta chance to hang with someone from Amazon, an Indian chap (dot, not feather). He lives in Seattle, his wife in Columbus — she’s a medical researcher, he’s a geek. Was interesting his take on America being “of color” [...]
Any day that starts with getting out of bed at 10am and making coffee is a relaxing day. Out of the house at noon thirty for a leisurely lunch and off to the airport for a 5:35pm flight. Details to come.
