Liking Seattle (updated)

I like talking with the ducks at greenlake.
I like driving the I5 bridge and seeing a mountain range on either side.
I like running the burke-gilman to Gasworks and sitting on the wall.
I like driving the west seattle bridge on a sunny day (its looks like you are driving into the sky at one point)
I like my room, you should too.
I like the Arboretum and jumping off the freeway into the water.
I like mount Si on a clear day.
I like the ferries and the islands.
I like the five weeks of cherry blossoms.
I like my church.
I like swimming across greenlake after a long run on a hot day.
I like warm summer nights with any of the following...
....Long walks singing to an ipod
....Sitting on a roof checking out the stars
....driving nowhere with the windows down
....hunting puddles
I like Skipping rocks at golden gardens
I like finding random cool restaurants
I like biking to the market on a Saturday morning, buying lunch then catching the Bainbridge ferry for the day
I like looking over the rail on the Aurora Bridge
I like school play grounds and going on their slides
I like driving to work on a beautiful sunny day - downtown Seattle rising over the horizon - a sea plane passes overhead and lands in Lake Union
Compline at St. Marks on a Sunday night

more to come

  2. Brilliance, Alec.

    Swinging's my fave at the playground, but I'll slide if you'll swing. And talking to the Ducks ... There are some also some of their most excellent species at Montlake.

    Harold. To be specific. He's so clever.

    And he's a duck.

    Whatever.
