Written with The Cure “Pictures of You” playing in my head
Do you ever, while in the middle of something, picture what it would look like form the outside? Like in a photo spread? You know, imagine the way the sunlight hits your arms or shines through your hair?
A wonderful day has finally arrived: the day my toddler starts singing with me!
How do you like to spend a rainy day?
Since I have the Wee One, I try to plan things for rainy days. Otherwise, she’s climbing up the walls-literally. She was on my FIL’s head yesterday.
When it’s just me, I like to stay in and watch TV. I should say read a book or make art, which I do like, but it’s easier to watch TV and go on Facebook. Then I start climbing up the walls.
List at least five favorite treats. (They do not have to be sugary).
Blueberries
Cream cheese and bagels
Onion rings
Where’s your favorite place to take out-of-town guests?
I don’t know where in Columbus, yet. In St. Louis, I take them to my favorite cigar bar, walk around downtown, and then down to Cherokee street or the West End, Depending on their mood.
In Seattle/Issaquah, I take them to Snoqualmie Falls, and to Issaquah brewing. Maybe Cougar mountain, too.
You are trapped in an elevator, who would you want to be trapped with?
Someone not too creepy. I am trapped, after all. For fun, a movie star who has a flask of burbon in his coat pocket.
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
The weather was beautiful last week, and awesome to be outside. Tomorrow is Cohiba’s birthday, and we’re all going to the zoo together-how cute is that?

Oh, heavens yes,
I am sitting in a coffee shop in Old Dublin, Ohio, the original part of town now built up and littered with hipster twee shops and restaurants. This Tehku Tea Shop, I was pleased to find, is owned and run by a woman and an immigrant. It is a small little shop only one block behind a Starbuck’s, and I was pleased to help keep it going.
When I was a kid, more than looking forward to the fireworks on the 4th of July, I looked forward to the 5th. In the temporary coolness of the early morning, I would climb onto my bike and go on a treasure hunt.
If we were having coffee, it would be iced, because unlike when we were meeting in Seattle, it is too hot to drink coffee comfortably. It would be okay if we were sitting inside, but it’s going to be so warm today that we wanted to sit outside while it is still morning and still nice.
