Where I’m Calling From
View from the coffee shop from which I’m posting (click to enlarge). I’m playing a little hooky this cool but fine afternoon, walking along Alki Beach in West Seattle. See, I was working in the SoDo area just south of downtown and the baseball stadium, and I learned that the Mariners were having a game at Safeco starting at 3:30. When I finished up at 2:30, I could have made one more client stop, or simply gone home to squeeze in a couple more chargeable hours.
But I thought, hey, traffic might be a little dicey (the stadium was between me and home), so why not just hop on the West Seattle Freeway and enjoy a walk along the water? I’ve hiked about 3 miles, with another mile or so back to the car. It’s only been 2 hours, but somehow I feel as if I’ve been on vacation for a couple of days.
More pictures and yakking later. I need to live in the moment a bit.
Carpe le carp, baby.
Yes! What a good idea.
close that laptop. stare vacantly out at the water.
Oooooh, pretty day up there!
Hey, all - it was a lovely way to spend a late afternoon. A bit cool, but for the first time in months I felt perfectly comfortable not toting a jacket or an umbrella. Have a great weekend!
