Our new place...

So, we moved to Seattle.
And, I love it!

Our place is a nice two bedroom on the bottom floor of an old building deep in Capitol Hill.

The best part about the whole move is that our rent is freeeeeeeeeeeeee.
That's right, free.

We're now apartment managers.

So, here 'tis my first pics of the new place.


I am very proud of my new (matching) bathroom stuff.

The End (for now)

We now have a location for our wedding. It's the Anderson Lodge in southern Washington. We drove out today to check it out and it is PERFECT! I took a few pictures and I'll post more when our wedding website is up and running. In the meantime, here is the stone fireplace where we'll have the ceremony.

Oh Fudge!

As some of you may or may not know I now have a third job.
I make fudge. Yep-Add that to the list of strange jobs that I have had. I'm making fudge one day a week at a fair trade shop. On a good day I make 6-8 trays of 6lbs of fudge each. I really like the job mostly because I don't have to talk to anyone. I can just go, make the fudge and go home without dealing with a single person. Heaven.

Making History....

Space shuttle blasts off into the night
The space shuttle Endeavour blazed into the night sky early Tuesday, heading into orbit for the longest visit ever to the international space station.

REMEMBER WHEN THIS WAS FRONT PAGE NEWS? What the heck happened? Launching people into space used to be a really big deal. Now it's lucky to make it to the inside of the front section of the newspaper. Even online today, it's a sidebar at best.

And what is plastered all over the place instead? New York governor Eliot Spitzer's involvement in a prostitution ring.

Who cares? He's an asshole. Big surprise. I mean.....What? A politician who broke the law (several, in fact) and cheated on his wife with a prostitute? My God! That's the first time in history that that has happened!

HELLO! We just shot seven men into space! This is a BIG deal.

Have we all been desensitized by Star Trek, Star Wars, X-Files and the plethora of other Sci-Fi shows and movies? Maybe the fact that we can turn on the television at any point in the day and see people floating around in their fancy spaceships and little green men running rampant through the streets has made this little launch an event of no importance to most of the world. However, this is real and the others are not. Wake up people!

Stop gossip mongering and pay attention to the people who are actually doing important things for humanity.

(This concludes my rant for the day)
