After a long hiatus, I finally got a chance to recreate with my cousins and some other friends.
After a chaotic dinner at The Dirty Bird (our affectionate term for Red Robin) we've descended on Dave & Buster's at Desert Ridge. Now we end up watching Thomas and Luke massacre game after game in the Billiards room.
Please let this game end so we can play something else!

Bremerton Afternoon
Having a bit of an afternoon with friends family. While chilling on the water in Bremerton we were treated to an aircraft carrier cruising into port.
What an amazing evening this is shaping up to be. Just no kayaking for me.

Elliott Bay Park
The sun is shining and I'm sitting in the grass with my shoes off. The breeze is blowing off the water and I can smell the salt. My headset is keeping my thoughts clear and peaceful.
As I watch the boats putter around the sound, my friends splash in the water and sprawl in the sun.
There are times it hits me like a ton of bricks how less than exceedingly grateful I can be for the outrageous production of frolicking and playfulness that is my life. Simply acknowledging how richly I've been blessed seems trivially insufficient at times like these.

Furniture Shopping
Taking advantage of the weather and it being Friday afternoon, I went with my friend for a walking adventure downtown.
The goal was furniture. We failed.
It was due in no small part to his loathing of stores and shopping. Basically, it was one store, one desk, and peace out.
My friends are amazing. Now I get a great walk back across town on the waterfront. Gorgeous day, lovely sun.
Charmed.

Young Dubliners
Heading out to ballard with my friends to see The Young Dubliners at The Tractor.
We are definitely having summer here in the Emerald City and the evenings are just spectacular.
As we drive across the bridge I'm reminded of days past and other events. I haven't been seeing very many shows but with new living arrangements, I'm working on getting out more.
Now if I could just get Josh to ask this waitress out tonight.

Solstice Festival in Fremont
This weekend I had the great pleasure of catching the Solstice parade in Fremont. True to form it was chaos and mayhem in spectacular glory.
My favorite float in the parade was the monkeys jumping on the bed. What a riot!
It was really invigorating to be able to see people just out having a fun frolick without pretense or pomposity. They just were letting down their guard for one day of festivities.
For example, in this picture, one of my good friends was indulging in her love of two favorite things: underwear and tie-die. What a ludicrously lovely scene.
The weather cooperated, and so did most of the people. If you've never partaken, I highly recommend you pull the pickle from your backside and show up next year. I surely will.

This is My Mind
What can I say? Thanks to the magic that is The Loft on a Thursday evening, this picture represents the current state of my mind.
Well, I was able to pull it together long enough to kick off the team on a MOSS presentation. This one won't just be fun, it'll be a learning experience. Sharepoint workflows and single sign-on anyone?
Tonight will be a barbeque to unwind and hopefully recreate. If you're in the neighborhood, feel free to drop by. We've got a gourmet chef, top-notch musical talent, and some certified hotties.
So what am I most thankful for right now? Taking everyone on a great ride last night and knowing we're all still on it.

Treading Water
I've been doing some new types of work lately. It's good to mix it up at work from time to time.
The sad part is how even when I feel I'm doing okay, I quickly realize how much better I should be doing at my respective functions.
The good news is that I generally have the flexibility to change up my priorities as needed. Being able to switch focus and shift tasks around is a huge advantage when it comes to multi-tasking effectively.
For now, I'm taking advantage of a delay before a meeting to update you all on my fascinating life. Yep, even when my feet are up, I can't seem to stop working.

Doing The Bee
My brother came up to the Northwest to help me move. So I am buying him dinner at Applebee's in return. It's not really a fair trade. But I'm kind of a jerk like that.
Actually he'll probably be drunk before we leave so that's going to make up for it.
