Looking ahead
2010 is starting off quickly. We've got a big dinner tonight for City Club and there's plenty of work for Mary Holste Design. It's a good combo. But I still want to do a little reflection here. At the tail end of 2008, I wrote that I wanted to become more civically active in Tacoma. That took off in a big way with City Club. A non-profit dedicated to civic dialog and discussion? Sign me up! I didn't know how I was going to do it exactly, but I do feel that it was one goal (I hate calling them resolutions) Read more…
A short trip to Carleton
I had a great time on our epic tour of the Midwest (4 states, 12 nights) but it feels great to be home. One surprise bonus right at the end was a day trip to Carleton. Here are some pics of the college under a lot of snow and temps in the single digits. First time I’ve been back in the winter since 2003. See the full gallery on Posterous
The new Satellite on Market
via weeklyvolcano.typepad.com Looking forward to getting back to Tacoma so I can check out the new Satellite Coffee by the downtown Y! Looks very cool.
The long slow journey home begins …
We’re leaving Madeline Island today for out last stop: Minneapolis. We won’t be there too long, just enough to see some friends before we fly back Monday. The picture is where we are right now. It’s 3 degrees, so this was taken through a window. The white “shore” you see in the distance is actually ice built up against the real shore, which is well out of sight. In two or three weeks, most of Lake Superior will be frozen over.
