Happy Birthday!

The folks at Corvus celebrated their 5th tonight. It was nice to wander over there for a bit. Explorateur and Smoke Break DJed. Lots of familiar faces. I was very happy to see them all. I'm not sure who coined the term 3rd places. I think it's a book? Or

On the Streets

Helping out in the neighborhood

The weather really has been whacky in Seattle. I love it. Today was another day of hail. That'd pretty much be my entry for a Poor Richard's Almanac - today was another day of hail. But bear with my amateurish weather blog. You can be out walking and in a

This Camper is Not Happy

Warning, I am (was...wrote this the other day...blog time is weird) in a foul mood. And you know what, before I continue, I should go do some yoga for a bit. Come back in 20. Ok, I'm back, and part of the above was a lie. I've never

Projects: Seattle DJs

I took a photo of a DJ at Bait Shop in June 2017. I didn’t have the appreciation for DJs then that I do now. I just like taking photos. I shoot a fair amount of live music, and I wanted to branch out to other parts of the

Behind the Bar

Corvus and Co.

I’d like to start cooking at home more again. I’ve said that before, though. One of the challenges is that I spend a lot of time alone at a computer writing or editing photos. I’m not great about setting aside the time to make cooking and eating

Most of us have favorite watering holes or neighborhood restaurants. Seattle has a ton of great options. I live in Capitol Hill, and I’m fortunate to have several places that make locals feel right at home: Corvus [https://www.instagram.com/corvusandco/], Deluxe, Bait Shop [https://www.instagram.com/

Sea Beans?

I’m not sure how I ever lived in the deserts of Phoenix and the Middle East. We’ve had a heat wave in Seattle the past week or so, with temperatures getting into the high 80s and low 90s. I’ve been miserable. Non-stop sweating. My apartment feels like
