Eat the Dessert First

I hate that every time I move away from a city I take with me a list of sites that I never saw. I left Connecticut never having been to Mystic Seaport; Texas never having been to the Stockyards; and Charlotte never having seen the Speedway. I decided not to let that happen this time. I'm going to eat my dessert first this time and go out for some site-seeing in the Emerald City. I feel a little like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when I say that. Don’t worry, I don’t own any red slippers and if I did, I certainly wouldn’t wear them. I mean let’s be practical; if you are going walking that long on a yellow brick road, you need comfortable walking shoes. I’ll be sure to post some pictures later tonight.

Someone asked about the picture that is now in my title bar. It is Mt. Rainier. I took that picture on my visit in October and thought it was a good addition. On the rare, clear days you can actually see it from here (although the picture was taken from much closer).

By the way, I’m so happy to see that those of you who voted in my poll are just as unenthusiastic about making your bed as I. It is such a waste of time when you are just going to unmake it a few hours later. Although, I have to admit that writing the post must have triggered something in my subconscious, because I’ve made my bed every day since.
