september to october



i was at my grandmother's house a couple months ago, and we spent an evening looking at her old slides. she used to be quite the photographer, and it was really good to look at pictures of old family gatherings and trips with her. she's 95, but still is sharp of mind and had a lot of good stories to go along with the slides.

my gramps and grams sure had some good style back then. i'm not so sure about that ponytail on my dad though. trouble.

recently i started looking into buying a house. my parents told me that for their first home, my gramma had helped them out with the down payment, and that they would do the same for me. i'm very greatful to have such a generous and supporting family.

by the end of october, i should have a house of my own, with room for visitors. there will always be room for friends and family to stay a few days and enjoy seattle with me.

photos: scanned slides of Alta and Orv, Orv, mom and dad.

critical mass a couple weeks ago stopped at the seattle center and the fountain turned into a mini-velodrome for a few minutes.
bike jousting at a BBQ, safety first. my tour bike got a new back wheel and new fenders.

i went to manzanita, oregon with some friends and their dog at the end of april. the weather kept changing from sun to hail, rain or snow. i slept out on the porch one of the nights, and woke up to snow on my sleeping bag, but just went back to sleep. the dog is my new favorite dude, Pablo, son of Jodee.

i figured how to use my scanner on slides. color could be better, but i generally like how it turns out.
prauge, seattle, london, zagreb, plitvice.

march





there was a mini bike race / scavenger hunt a few weeks ago in honor of jesus' coming back to life 2000 years ago. the ride ended at the beach, where bee taming and bonfires ensued.

sunset bowl is closing in two weeks. so continues the crapification of ballard. ben meyer can throw a mean straight ball though.
