A Dark, Rainy, Winter Evening

Meanwhile, after hours at the InterUrban Building.... Devi and Rusty decide it's play time!

SEEing part of BEing

This morning as I was barreling down the short stretch of the Interurban Trail, on my way to the bus terminal at 6:45 am, I realized that my line of sight had been a tunnel straight ahead since I started the walk. I looked up at the sky, above the streetlights and ambient haze to see a beautiful predawn light creeping into the dark blue-black and tiny pin pricks of crystal clear light twinkling through. An audible chuckle came from my throat as I got this deep down feeling that nature was smiling on me,almost like a game of peek-a-boo.
My stress of catching the bus and the day ahead rolled away. Water over a pebble. I am thankful.

Help Our Local Economy, Shop Locally This Holiday Season

Please think about helping your local businesses this holiday season. How about gift certificates for things people love, like massage, or a movie at the Edmonds Theater. We have so many great restaurants...Think of one you have heard good things about but haven't been to yet (like Caravan Kebab maybe) and take a friend to lunch or dinner. Glorious Treasures at Firdale Village is what it sounds like; a treasure trove of eclectic items someone on your list will love! Don't forget about the sweet animals... How about a day at The Whole Pup, or Peanut's Pals (for small dogs). The Whole Pup also offers grooming and has training available that is fun and productive (I can attest). How about a holiday meal for your dog at The Dining Dog? It is a one of a kind experience for you and your dog! SplashDog has gift certificates and (shameless plug) so does Works with Dogs if your pup needs some cozy physical therapy.
So, happy holiday season to everyone and thank you for shopping locally and supporting your friends and neighbors!
