A Thing or Two Before I Run to Class

Hey, so when we visited family last month, I heard about readers sometimes wondering when a new post would show up here, and I don't want you to give up hope...

On the other hand, despite conversations about how easy it is to take decent photos with cell phones, we failed to take many pictures. Fortunately Emily did get this shot of Evan:

So glad to have met our new nephew!

Anyway, this quarter has me way too busy, so I should go.

Thanks to Scott Hughes for this reminder of what things looked like when I wasn't so busy:


Oh, and we did take a little break the other day to see The Threepenny Opera. Good music there. It wasn't performed quite like this at the show we saw, but here's a song you might know:


Cheers, reader. Happy March!

Crossing You in Style

You know what I love? Old movies on the big screen. Seattle's Cinerama is among the cooler theaters in town, and lately they've been showing some Valentines-y classics, including Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Great movie--I'd forgotten just how great it really is. And seeing it on that huge beautiful screen!

Won't look nearly as good, but here's a nice little scene:


And afterwards Emily treated me to this adorable snack, from Top Pot Doughnuts:

Filling for the stomach and the heart!

Cheers, Reader.

Around Town

What a week!

On a lighter note, take a look at these delicious cookies from Café Presse:


And I had the chance to experience the easy part of Emily's bike commute (we skipped the incredibly steep (though well-named) Yancy Street).

Here's a map of her route:

We took a right after the bridge and headed up toward Alki (northern tip of West Seattle).

Plenty of fun, though. Cool to ride underneath the viaduct:


Hey, speaking of, Danny Westneat is right: let's save part of the viaduct and build a cool park!
