Blog-o-break

Yeah, I know we're candy-asses for not being out there at V-Park right now whacking shuttlecocks, but at least we stopped by and contributed nectarines. We had some stuff to do this evening, and besides, it's too hot.

It was just right yesterday, though, so Otis and I scootered to the ferry, ferried to Bainbridge Island, and scootered to Fay Bainbridge State Park where we spent the afternoon just communin' with the sound. It was lovely, even if the ferry ride has gotten a little pricey.

People could tell we had been out in the sun at the on-again, off-again, on-again moovie nite last night: Otis was glowing red and had distinct goggle marks. And by "people," I mean Dingo, Johnbai and Soapy, who joined us at the Crest. Soapy and Johnbai took in Nacho Libre while the rest of us exercised some of our higher brain functions and watched Word Play (which was surprisingly funny as well as interesting). After the movies, we had a brief visit in the lobby with Hi Lai and Welcome Matt and then repaired to Third Place/Ravenna for some coffee and booty food.

Otis and I were back at Third Place today, but the LFP location. We took a bike ride earlier and got 22 miles in, heading to LFP and back along the Burke. The ride had a degree of difficulty = Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. There were about a thousand pink-clad trekkers, some of them looking pretty worn out, stepping along the trail to finish their 60 miles for the boobies. It was great to see so many people taking action and being supportive of a good cause, and we tried to be courteous riders as we shared the trail.

And the B2K total stands at 1212 after today's ride!

Okay, time to get back to productive work, but before I go, tell me: how many people would take this crap, even for free?
