I know that the above line is from So I Married An Axe Murderer, a film which I believe is set in San Francisco, but that scene in the coffee shop, and that line, always make me think of Seattle.
I have a nice, if wet, weekend in Seattle with Jen and Irwin (Jen for the whole thing, Irwin for a quick two hours). We went to the Public Market, I made a quick pilgrimage to the first Starbucks, I saw the men throwing fish, and almost ran off the road while staring at Safeco Field and wishing it was a day later and I could catch a game. We also spent an entire afternoon tiptoeing through the tulips (and daffodills) at the Tulip Festival about 60 miles north of the city.
Alas, I have fallen out of first place in my NCAA bracket, as I knew I would. I am currently third, with no possible points remaining. If UNC wins tonight, three people will pass me including both Katie and Joel (punks didn’t pick their own school to win). If UNC loses, I’ll remain in third. But I’m rooting for Carolina-lina. (Rah rah.)
Less than a week remaining until the Yuri’s Night 5K! Lots left to do.
