Guildford High Street sometime early this morning, a surprising number of people around despite the time.
Wandering through a happy place
With the rush back to Guildford and dealing with all of that things got a little crazy, my taking it easy vow has not got off to a good start. For a start I need to find somewhere to plug in and work for a couple of hours this morning to get a presentation put together for one of our Japanese partners. Of course being…
Unplanned…
Another unplanned trip to Guildford and the Royal Surrey…
Another day, another…
Yep, time for another drink in Anthony’s in SeaTac, I spent way too much time here over the last year. While the view today is not what you’d call spectacular, it is better than many airports when the Olympics are visible on the horizon.
Who does this?
It’s been a busy evening getting ready to travel again and todays picture is once again something I saw in the store, this time the pet store. Who buys cologne for their dog? Dogs smell and need bathing occasionally (or after the dog park in the winter in the Northwest), but this seems to be going way too far. I’ve known a couple of dog…
Sweat
I was wandering around Central Market in Mill Creek this evening to grab a few things and try to cook something new tonight (miso chicken) and I saw this on the shelf. The reasion it stands out is that I first saw Pocari Sweat (yes that’s the spelling) in a vending machine on Japan last month. Drink vending machines are a big deal in Japan…
Enjoying a little culture
Last night was something different, I got invited to the opera. I’m not a total stranger to the opera, but it’s not one of my usual haunts. I’ve been to the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden in London (don’t remember what it was for) and once to La Scala in Milan for Verdi’s Aida many years ago. So McCaw Hall was (I think) my…
Food and lights…
Went to the Taste of India in Roosevelt for dinner tonight, so much great food (the tandoori cod is superb) and conversation, a good way to round out a rather long week of travel and certification classes at work. The outside decor at Taste of India does look a little like someone forgot to bring in the christmas decoration, but that’s what it’s like year…
And the weather today…
was back to rain after the beautiful winter day yesterday. So instead of finishing the cleaning I started outside I got to another of the “black-spots”, the garage. It took a couple of hours and a trip to the dump, but I was able to comfortably get both cars in there tonight! It may not be much, but I do feel I’ve made another step…
What a finish…
Ibrahimovic scores what maybe the best goal I’ve seen in a while. The balance and strength to create the chance was wonderful, but the precision of the finish was world class. Just stunning. Only another week until the first players report for Sounders training camp, and 9 week until they play LA at RBP. Not that I’m counting or anything…
