Flotsam, Or About to Be

Took another little stroll on Sunday, up to Phinney Ridge just west of Casa de Perils.  I believe this is the best view from a Starbucks cafe I’ve had the pleasure of gazing at while sipping my macchiato (see sidebar):

We caught a PBS broadcast of last night’s Stevie Wonder concert in the East Room of the White House.  An illustrious parade of musicians performed Stevie’s songs, ending with “Superstition”, performed by Stevie himself, sounding terrific.  I kept trying to guess who would do the (horrifyingly treacly) “Ebony and Ivory”.  My bet was on Barack and John McCain, but, alas, they passed over the number.  Obama kills me sometimes.  At the end of the concert, he said he’d just seen the most illustrious Stevie Wonder cover band ever.

Who has weekend plans?  Some folks I know are kayaking off Marrowstone Island, near Port Townsend, on Saturday, and I’ll be with them if the stars align (and it doesn’t snow any more like it did this morning - sheesh!)

  1. I meant to watch that Stevie Wonder concert. Thanks for the link. No plans for the weekend except if it turns out to be sunny we’ll probably go for a hike. Hope your weather permits a Marrowstone Island kayak adventure.

  2. Your weekend appointment with the water sounds great!

    I’ll be driving north (no doubt in the rain and wind) to visit friends in the Bay Area. The washing machine broke yesterday, so no weekend clothes washing…darn :-)

  3. Snow in Seattle????? What’s the world comin’ to!?
