A sequence of events…
10:15PM red-eye plane flight from Seattle to Philadelphia, successful. Connecting flight from Philadelphia to Hartford, departing 7:45AM? Delayed because they were short one stewardess, and she was, “on her way.” Ten minutes later, flight cancelled. Half an hour spent standing in line for customer service, while at the [...]

Here you come into our lives last night, giving us the longest night (15 hours, 36 minutes!?) we’ll see for a few thousand years, because you got lucky with that whole “wobbly Earth axis” thing. And today? The shortest day we’ll see for just as long. Oh, but wait… I bet you [...]

There is currently a young man hanging from a harness and rope just outside the window to my left. I desperately want to stare at his contraptions and rapelling (not to mention squeegee) techniques, but he’s… like… right there.

This marks the first year that I’m not handling all the eBay auctions for the Stranger’s (and Portland Mercury’s) annual Holiday Charity Gift Auction.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Skyler, my old college roommate Ward, and I had a long discussion about the nature of work nowadays.

Those dreams of old places, old friends and old crushes. You just talk and laugh as if nothing ever changed. You fall for the same smiles over and over and feel comforted and safe. Then you wake to find that those people really are far away living different lives now. You [...]

Since everyone else’s blog has been utterly devoid of life in the past few days (except for you Skyler, the new photos are great. ok, I’ll give Jason a little credit too for posting a cryptic, angry entry yesterday.), I felt I needed to break the silence in hopes that a few of you [...]

We had our company Christmas party this past week at the Columbia Tower Club, on the top floor of Seattle’s tallest building. I couldn’t help but feel a little fancy when I pressed the button on the elevator labeled “75 – Members Only.” Although I missed the tours of the women’s room, word [...]

Wow, I posted disappointingly few entries in the two months since I last did this. Maybe I should try picking up the blogging pace. Then again, maybe not.
October and November highlights, here we go…
