Seattle and beyond...
Wow it was great to be back in Seattle even for a day and a half. Annalise and I moved to Seattle in 92 and stayed for 7 years before heading back to Texas in 99. The last winter there was the rainiest on record and I just couldn't take it. I still love it though. Seattle is almost always lush and green and growing, the water, ferries, coffee shops and bookstories, it's a great town to get lost in. I got lost a few times, but I was mostly just seeing my old haunts and visiting old friends.
My old house looks good, my nextdoor neighbors are still next door too.
The first day I had lunch with one friend before going off to admire another friend's new baby. Then I had dinner with Meg and her brand new husband. I also go to see one of my fave dogs, Leo. He was one of the ice storm puppies that I bottlefed. I shipped him up to Meg three years ago, she's about the only person on the planet I could have given him up to. He seemed to remember me and and he's very happy.
My Seattle friends are doing well. They are falling in love and having babies and buying log cabins in the mountains. I love it and it fits right in with all my own transitions. I love knowing people who I might not see for years but fall right into step with when we meet again.

The day of the screening I slept in later than planned as I'd stayed up the night before talking with old friends. So, I didn't go to greenlake park to run, I just ran around my friend's Jeff and Shelly's neighborhood. It was chilly and people were out walking in their polar fleece as I ran past in my tanktop and shorts. It was cool, but it felt amazing.
Later I headed out to visit with my old neighbor and we caught up over coffee, then I saw another old friend before heading back to the Hall to get ready for the screening.
We had a small, devoted crowed. It was one of the first cool nights of the season and it was rainy and messy, and a Wednesday night. Our audience included some film folks, some friends and some we found at the universities and suicide prevention groups. It was a good screening and will lead to more screenings.
This a.m. I was up at 4:15 to make it to the airport for an early flight to Albuquerque via Salt Lake City. I got into ALB around 1:00 and then headed north to Las Vegas for some scouting.
Here I sit in a little coffee shop in downtown Las Vegas, NM that has free wifi and great cookies.
I'm tired, a little bit fuzzy headed, but the cool air is clearing things up. It's pretty, too. Different than Seattle, as different as geography can be from Seattle, still pretty and very friendly. I'm off to go scout around before heading back to my B&B tonight and then getting up in the a.m. and continuing the adventure!
