Well, this has significantly interrupted my plans. I’m feeling okay and avoided getting extremely sick, fortunately.

Looking into a kitchen and living room from the floor above. A vaulted ceiling arches high. The rooms are empty, lights sparkling on shiny counters and wooden counter island. An intricate chandelier and large teardrop shaped light fixtures focus more light.

What a big two weeks: I traveled back to FLG to pack, clean and get the house ready to sell. My dad joined me and we worked hard; it takes a lot to pack up sixteen years of life in a home. It was a really special week together.

Seems bad when the Supreme Court is like “gosh, this case from an obviously profoundly immoral guy acting in bad faith really tests our ability to rule in cases of law that presume good faith on the part of the most powerful person in the world. We’d better punt.”

A paper coffee cup on a rough wooden table, with out of focus lights and counter in the background. The cup is labeled Victrola.

A cappuccino photographed from above on a shiny, dark-gray tabletop. It has a white and orange mug and is a rich brown and white color.

It was a whirlwind couple of days in multiple ways. I finished my Seattle coffee jaunt at Cascade Coffee Works; two days later, I’m making cappuccino in my own kitchen.

View from a third-story balcony looking into a large, open space paneled with intricate wood flooring. It’s a former armory converted to a museum. A green biplane hangs from wires in the center, and a long wooden boat to one side. A giant R hangs in the background ringed with red bulbs — the Rainier Beer symbol — and the right side of the frame is comprised of brightly lit windows.

A paper coffee cup with a C written on it in Sharpie pen sits next to a camera on a white table. In the background is a window with some sun shining through.

I really enjoyed visiting MOHAI, the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle. It’s a beautiful space with a lot of clever, intricate hands-on exhibits, and a coffee shop to go with it (continuing my South Lake Union cappuccino tour).
