And so, on this anniversary, some photos from a perfect day:
Who knew scanning negatives worked so well? Amazing!
There are a few more photos in the set on Flickr (and I've still got stacks of negatives staring at me), but I hope you'll enjoy seeing a few more favorites here:
Okay, at last, here's a photo I'm not in:
The other day we roasted a delicious chicken from Palouse Pastured Poultry. Isn't that a great setup for the farmers market? That picture of the chickens makes me smile.
But seriously, can you believe it's June?
Okay, more soon.
So, you might ask, any plans for the weekend, or for next month?
Well, the insanely huge Seattle International Film Festival is going on, and while there's no way we can see very many of the films, we just have to see Page One, a new documentary about the New York Times:
Will let you know what we think!
And next month we're driving down the coast. Merrica thought a map might be fun, so here you go:
As I mentioned, we checked out HONK! Fest West last weekend. Lots of fun music, even if it was accompanied by stilts, kilts, and jugglers...
Our favorite was definitely the Seahawks drum line:
Makes me think I might have to go to a football game one of these days!
Was such a nice day that I rode my bike there (!) with my friend Laura, and we met up with Emily, who'd just finished up at the Seattle Archives Preservation Roadshow.
As Laura captioned this, "sunglasses needed!"
Back home, we've been losing our minds over the no-knead bread recipe that Mark Bittman wrote about a few years ago.
Incredibly easy, and incredibly tasty—nice crunchy crust too! And, as Jim Lahey says in the great video, it has "beautiful crumb structure."
You know what else is beautiful? Plato's Greek is truly beautiful. I've been fortunate to have found a few other faculty members at Seattle U. who'll read Plato in Greek with me lately.
Lots of fun, and a nice chance to spend time with faculty from all over the University—Physics, History, Theology, Philosophy.
Right now we're reading the Euthyphro. Slow going for most of us, but rewarding. Want to take a look? The Perseus site will gives you access to a side-by-side Greek and English version. Good stuff.
