Saturday turned out to be such a nice day that Ben, Jeff and I went on a bike ride on the Green River Trail and Interurban Trail south of Seattle. We started out at Tukwila Park and Ride, went south on the Green River Trail until it ended, took the Interurban trail back north to [...]

Joe texted this morning around 8:30 or so asking if I was interested in going on a bike ride from Gasworks today at 10. At first, I thought there was no way I would make it since I was still tired from last night. However, by 9:15 I had changed my mind. I was tired [...]

Yesterday’s weather was amazing–sunny and hot (high of 90F in Seattle). In the morning, I helped Robert move into his new apartment before in got too hot.

Marc and I went to Salon of Shame tonight. Doors opened at 6:45, we got there at 7 and the show started at 7:30. The venue sold out before we could get in, but Marc was recognized from his outstanding reading 4 months ago and we were whisked inside to stand off to [...]

Last weekend, I went to a retreat for gay men on Vashon Island. It was a fun time in a beautiful setting. I’d never been to Vashon before, but it was really nice. Pictures are here.

I’ve written about this before, but the thought occurred to me for some reason again on the bus into work today.
As a kid, I attended an elementary school named after a former mayor of Seattle. Now, this wouldn’t be bizarre if I grew up in or even near Seattle, but I did not. In fact, [...]
