Farmer’s Market

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

There are signs up and down Rainier Avenue advertising the farmer’s market, so Amy and I decided to go. It was not as big as the farmer’s market in Boston, but it did have a lot of really good fruits and vegetables. We walked the aisles and saw all kinds of fruits and vegetables, including […]

Shakesperean Woman

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

The play was awesome. But before I go there, let me just say that Vietnamese food is very good too, but not quite as good as Thai food. For dinner tonight, Aaron and Andrea invited me to go out with them for Vietnamese food. It’s similar to Chinese food, but the sauces aren’t as sugary […]

Thursday Update

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

Today, I learned how to make my own cappuccino.
Tomorrow I am going to this theater to see “Richard III”.
I am applying for middle school science and middle school math teaching jobs with this school district.
I also bought some athletic shoes and I’m going to join the gym down the street.
I’m reading Ireland, by Frank Delaney, […]

Book Club

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

Tonight I went to my first book club ever. I wasn’t sure if book clubs were something that would agree with me, but this one did, so I’m sure I’ll be back. We sat around in the backyard; drinking wine and discussing the current book The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. It’s actually a really […]

17 Memories: My Dad Cries

Monday, June 19th, 2006

This memory starts, ironically enough, at Harding, when Dad was miles away. It was a peaceful Saturday afternoon, and I was at the school cafeteria. I got there kind of late, and the caf was mostly empty. So I picked out a nice round table, and eventually, someone sat with me. It’s been long enough […]

Happy Father’s Day

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Happy Father’s Day! I hope you like your Lowe’s gift card. Buy some 2×4’s and build something rugged and manly. Like a beer holder! Cool! In honor of father’s day, I’m bringing back 17 memories, just for one more. Have fun stretching Father’s Day to an entire week.

Peer Pressure

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

Tonight I did something that I’ve never done before, and I did it strictly because of the influence of the Baegles. For dinner tonight, I ate a vegetarian corndog. Think about that for a second. I might not have eaten it, but a normal corndog probably has more in common with tofu than real meat […]

The Test from HELL

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

Ok, let me tell you about my Saturday. It starts early in the morning, as all bad saturdays do. I woke up at 6:15AM and I wanted to leave the house by 6:45AM. I didn’t have to be at the testing site until 7:30AM, but I still don’t really know my way around this town, […]

EMP

Friday, June 9th, 2006

Today I went to the Experience Music Project here in Seattle. Amy, her folks, and her brother were going, and they graciously adopted me for the day. Like all nerds, I really enjoy trips to museums, and the EMP was no exception. The building itself is really something: a gargantuan construction that shines in the […]

Westerin’: Day Three

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

Here’s how this works. I wrote this post (and the others) on the road into the West, but I haven’t had a chance to post it until now. Enjoy this thrilling account of my journey through the West, including that time when I had to stop a cattle stampede with only my ten-gallon hat.

Day Three:
