On Wednesday, Otis and I went up to Edmonds to meet
The Angel and
The Crocodile. Otis went to school with The Angel; she is now married to The Crocodile and living in Boston, so we only get to see them now and again when they come back for a visit, and we look forward to it every time. They made a walk-on ferry ride over from Port Ludlow (isn't that J-Force territory?) and we drove up to meet them for lunch. Great Thai food, a chilly walk around old Edmonds, and some Tenbucks coffee (courtesy Angel's gift card) followed, seasoned with cool conversation and lots of laughs. Brief visits, too far apart.
Click the pic for home-movie goodness!(?)Wrapped around this celebratory episode was workish stuff: Otis is getting back into the swing after a brief hiatus from massage for the holidays and an overworked arm, and I'm hacking away at my syllabi and prep work. I did have a nice telephone chat with
Yojimbo, and with
JustJon, who clued me in to his recent developments (see what happens when you miss a blog post?).
Personal note: We visited Otis's grandmother in hospital: the good thoughts must have worked! She was very much improved and stronger; it was a remarkable recovery. Thanks.
