Today was a day to regroup and recharge after three fairly intense days. Not a lot to report today. Today was mostly a clammy, foggy Seattle day. Slept late, had a second great breakfast at Noah's Bagels (thinking of you KW), then went to Bauhaus Coffee at my cousin Tom's recommendation. A dingy, creepy Seattle grunge coffee shop-perfect for wasting a couple of hours finishing some work and watching the urban detritus ooze by.
Then on to tourism. I went to the Pike Street Market in search of lunch, going to Market Grill at Tom's further recommendation. Had some great hot roasted cashews too.
Ok I'm suspending this blog as its boring me to death. Ever had that feeling at a party when you're talking to someone and from outside your body you can actually see yourself killing the party singlehandedly? No? Neither have I. This other guy I knew said he did once... Anyway, that was today.
One slightly funny thing-as I was walking downtown, some kid hawking some newspaper or something looked at me and said loudly, "Hi optimist!" How did he know?
Tonight will be hanging out in the University area. University Way is a bit like the Drag in Austin.
I also wanted to note this new "study" about the differences between what men and women look for in a mate. Now, be prepared for a shock, but apparently scientists have determined that men tend to emphasize a woman's attractiveness in selecting a mate, while women generally consider a man's overall qualities. This also just in, water is wet. Whenever you think about how useful in life your own job is, think about the idiots who conducted this study. Sounds like something a bunch of grad students at Florida State would come up with between bong hits while waiting for their pizza. Or, think about the bureaucrat who gave these idiots tax money to do this.
I have the Bumbershoot pictures up. Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisreeder and hit Bumbershoot. Let me know if that doesn't work.
One final point. I said in my last post that its a miracle what new medicine can do for psychiatric problems. I glaringly omitted that its a miracle what a family can do as well. Roky had the love and support of his family all those years to buoy him. What if he hadn't? He'd probably have been out on the street or maybe in some state institution going nowhere.
