Volunteer in Seattle
My Seattle Works team needs more people! Want to join us? Email me. We do one project a month, usually on a Saturday. It's always a good time.. with a cool group of folks.
Sticker Project
2 strangers have emailed me about my sticker offer. I'm not sure where they found out about it. But, they're getting free stickers! Have you joined my posse yet?
Emode.Com: Tests, Tests, Tests
A fun way to kill time surfing the web.

Note to self:
It's probably not a good idea to keep the Lysol and the Right Guard deodorant on the same shelf of the bathroom cabinet.
I can't tell you how many times I've nearly made my armpits "Spring Waterfall" fresh while killing viruses, bacteria, mold and mildew... when all I wanted to do was stop sweating.

Yahoo! News - NYC Mayor Wants Tougher Smoking Law
Let's do this in Seattle too! Smoking in restaurants doesn't seem to be as bad here as it is in Atlanta. But, I'd love it if we had a bar and restaurant ban on smoking like they have in California. How bout it, Mayor Nickels?
GTFO
My white trash neighbor is moving at the end of this month. Her landlord sold the house to his brother-in-law. Yesterday, WTN (white-trash neighbor) came over to ask me for a favor. Her former boyfriend is in jail for beating her up. So, she asked me not to give out any information about them if he comes around looking for her when he gets out of the pokie. The boyfriend's buddies have already come by asking her where she's moving, etc. Hopefully, I won't have to deal with them.
Oh yeah,... did I mention that the jailed boyfriend is also a crackhead? Or that WTN's other ex is also a crackhead? She had 2 kids with that one. And, she's hiding from him too. All of this came out in our conversation yesterday.
FCG
I'm building a flying crank ghost for Halloween. I got some stuff at Home Depot last night. And, I'll use some scrap wood from my garage to build the braces/motor mount. It should be pretty cool. I don't know anything about electrical wiring though. So, I could end up electrocuting myself. But, hopefully not!

Great Shot
I wish I had my camera with me last night as I was driving home. There was an incredible sunset over the Olympic mountains around 9pm. Dark navy blue sky with a crescent moon.... the North Star just below... jagged mountains below that, with a pinkish orange strip of sunset sky outlining the peaks... smooth water of the shipping canal underneath me... silhouette of a seagull gliding by... and a slow boat cruising under the Ballard bridge. An amazing site.
Weekend rehab
I'm still recovering from the wedding weekend. It's not that I really overdid it or anything. It's just that I stayed out later than usual and drank more than usual.. and talked more than usual.. and ate more than usual.... etc.
It was a blast though. Mark and Jen are married and on their honeymoon now. Those 2 are perfect for each other. They're both very lucky.
