Dan and I headed into Boulder for street shopping and lunch. I found a couple of things for Swanda’s collection, but no phones for myself. There weren’t any Guopon Specials for downtown so we went to see Ted. Crappy service. Had to ask for the $10 lunch menu. But in the end… they forgot to [...]

Thank god for mid-day flights. 12:55pm departure and I’m at the airport a couple of hours before that having cocktails and eating free food. It may be $300 a year for the airline club, but I think I’m getting my monies worth. Flight was running 40 minutes late, but I don’t’ have bags so Dan [...]

A whirlwind of activity today after the HomeWise guys showed up at 10:30. Houston, we have a problem. So the inspector did the pressure test readings on the house and they were HIGHER than before all the insulation work. They should be LOWER. All the work was done so the only thing he can figure [...]

I forgot to post this picture of the sunset last night from my parent’s balcony (while working on mom’s computer). After finally getting her email to work this morning, it left me precious little time to wolf down a tamale before we headed to the airport in Albuquerque. Flights running on-time, got to SFO with [...]

How to get five good sized adults back to Santa Fe when the car is a Subaru Forester and we are five good sized people. The answer, have two of us hitch a ride with my brother Jon headed to the airport and get out at the Santa Fe Opera exit and cram in the [...]

Woke up late, but that was OK as the three of us (Bro, Helene, Me) all slept in after our late night drive last night. The hope for Michael’s Caf� for breakfast was dashed by the sign “will re-open Dec. 9th“. Damn. It’s a great place for breakfast. Through town and down the hill we [...]

On the way to meet Helene at Amtrak for our trip today, spied these two cars in the yard: The Mid-America City of Angels is a car for lease (http://www.midamericarailcar.com/pages/fleet.html) but what is weird (other than my obsession with private rail cars) is that it isn’t listed on their fleet roster, and it’s last known [...]

Here is a funny shot from last night… It just happened to be on the page I opened the paper to. Or shall I say, Too Funny. Part of today was spent at the Seattle Public Library to check the RL Polk City Directories to get a sense of what businesses were in our space [...]

Nice to sleep in as the laundry list of errands has no particular schedule. Eastside for bank, Trader Joes, and a couple of thrift store (6 wine glasses for the shop at .45 each). On the return from the Eastside, it’s off to the UW Surplus Store to see if they still have $25 dorm [...]
