Sleeping in Seattle

Well, I arrived in Seattle on Friday evening. I stayed with Bob and his wonderful fiancee Etsuko. Saturday Bob had to work (ah, the joys of owning your own business), and I slept the morning away. When I finally got up I hung out in a local cafe, Java Jazz, and caught up on emails and some ShopInBerkeley new pages (ah, the joys of owning your own business).

When Bob got off work, he and Etsuko and I headed up towards Snoqualmie Falls, a nice waterfall (270 feet, almost twice the height of Niagra but only about 10% of Yosemite). We had a nice meal at the Thai restaurant across the street from their house, then settled in for more yacking before bed.

Next time I come to Seattle I’ll have to plan more time–there were just too many people here I didn’t get to see.

Today I’m heading southward on I-5, with a stop tonight in Eugene to see Lou, her new beau, and I think just one of her kids. Today should be a realtively short driving day, then Monday will be fairly long–but I should be happily in my bed before midnight on Monday.
