The Shape of Things

On Sunday afternoon my wife and I went down to an area of Seattle I had not only never been to, but had never even heard of… Madison Park. On our way there we stopped off on a few of the side streets to admire the older classic homes.

Madison Park itself was ok. It reminded me of a place where wealthy execs live and take there sail boats out during the weekends. A bit out of our price range, but nonetheless quite charming.

My wife’s company had their company’s summer picnic on the ‘Royal Argosy’ last friday and I was lucky enough to get to go along. I had to pretty much beg and plead to get out of work but I managed. The food was decent, the views spectacular, and I think we found our dream house on the north side of Bainbridge island.

I felt a little uncomfortable with all those really smart and creative people, but in the end everyone was very nice and I was glad I went.

Last weekend my wife and I traveled back to Minnesota for my Dad’s 50th birthday party. It was a quick 4 day trip but well worth it. I got to catch up with the family and see my two nieces and nephew. I also got to have lunch with an old buddy of mine which was great because we have both matured a lot since high school and it seems like we can have deeper talks now.
