knee boarding after work

What a great way to send off the summer!

Thanks Mark and have a safe trip up North.

Ferry alternative

Mark and Noble picked me up from the waterfront yesterday in Marks Boat. Much better than the ferry!

summer update

wow, this has been one crazy summer. I can't even put it in writing, to protect the innocent...

lots has happened since my last post. I finally got to see Blue Scholars perform at the Capitol Hill Block party, which was just phenomenal.

Last weekend the kids and I watch High School Musical 2 all weekend long... I must say, I was surprised that they could pull of a sequel, but they did and it was entertaining.

JD and I caught a baseball game, it was a bad day for the M's, so we settled in to some drinking....

Dave P left the company and we had a great going away party for him last week..

which catches us up to the last weekend. I went on a great hike up by Hurricane Ridge and then stayed the night in Port Angeles with a friend. We had a blast. See the story in my Hiking Blog...

Summer is almost over, I wonder what could possibly happen next? stay tuned, unless its like most of my summer stories, not suitable for blog :)

Seafair 2007! - August 5

It was a bittersweet Seafair, the first one since Glenn died. Glenn and I have been attending Seafair since the 80's. It was a bit different this year without him. I brought the kids along twice before, so we are building on our own tradition now...

The girls and I drove over to the races Sunday am. We found a house to park at not too far away. As I was standing in line to buy a ticket, someone came up and handed me a VIP pass. We waltzed right in through the VIP line, very cool.

We watched the races and the planes, we ate a lot of junk and we swam in the lake. It was a very nice, long day at the races. I would have been happier if Theoret had won in the U-37, but it was cool to see the U-6 O boy Oberto/Miss Madision win, even if they are from Indiana...
