The Shape of Things

I am certainly blessed to have been given such a wonderful wife.

I combined my old blog into my current blog. Some oldies but goodies in there:

hahahaha… nice to be able to look back at yourself.

Enjoy!

Today I got up early (for a Saturday) and grabbed the paper on my way to breakfast. I decided on a place up on NW 85th St.

Wild Mountain Cafe:
Website
Yelp

The staff was very friendly and the place had quite a bit of charm. It looked like it was a house converted into a restaurant with hard wood floors and enchanting little rooms through out.

I decided to sit at the counter with another local who had brought his dog with him. There was a large window in the front where we could see his dog eating and just enjoying the sunny weather on the porch.

I ended up ordering the ‘joe schmoe‘, which is a standard bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast. The bacon was excellent, and the hash browns had garlic I believe. All in all, it was a place I would definitely go back to.

my wife has plenty of hobbies… speaking french, knitting, sewing, painting, reading, writing in her journal, sketching, etc…

me? I am a lazy bum. oh sure I feel that I work diligently at my career and that fills most of my day. But I don’t have much outside of that.

Some of my interests are economics, theology/Christianity, indie films…

I will have to come up with some more I guess.

I was watching Boyz n the Hood tonight and found inspiration from it actually. See the movie is about a kid growing up in south central L.A. His friends don’t have much direction in their life, however the main character ‘Tre’ has a father who “isn’t being hard on him, he’s just teaching him responsibility”. I can tell that Tre probably has quite a few hobbies/interests and that he is well rounded. While his buddies across the street are primarily one trick ponies that just drink beer and talk crap all day.

Anyway, I think that the TV/computer is really dragging me down lately. I live in this beautiful city and I am not out enjoying it. That will be my goal for the next 4- 6 weeks. Exploring parts of Seattle that I haven’t before. Tomorrow I will start with Ballard. I have a meeting at my church tomorrow mid morning so I will get up early and find a place to have breakfast in Ballard.

Sounds like a fine idea I must say!!
