My parents have kept a compost heap in their backyard for the last ten years, which, along with recycling and smart consumerism, decreases their weekly trash to nearly nothing.
This year, my father and mother noticed a new side effect of their eocological lifestyle: the caffeination of local fauna. Coffee grounds are excellent compost and can [...]
I seem to be done shopping. Downtown, Macy's and REI were shit-shows, as expected, but fruitful. I took an Agua Verde break and then slipped over to OK OK in Ballard for one last purchase.
Now I am home (Seattle-apartment-home) with three or four hours to pack for home (Massachusetts-house-home). And maybe I will construct my [...]

I could use 365.24219 but 365.2425 [...]
I was heading home from the law firm on 4th Ave S last night, exhausted from the day and considering the Heroes episode and Trader Joe's delicacies awaiting me in Wallingford. Brooke and I had instituted a major database change in CaseHawk, a harrowing experience of second-guessing and frantic bug fixes. Have I mentioned that [...]
