Complete...

My traveling for the month is complete...My trip south of the border was a great one...a shit ton better than my b'day weekend I can tell you that much. Michelle & Harrison & Mia are fabulous hosts and spoiled me quite madly - above and beyond really...it was a great weekend. We had good hang out time, chats and fun stuff on the go. It was really cool to see Michelle in her own realm...and finally meet H & Mia. Seeing some of Seattle was awesome...I love that city's vibe...I really would like to boat over there for a weekend and just explore downtown and wander about...Ayla is totally on board with this...

Anyway...as I said great weekend with great people...thank you guys for making it such a worthwhile time.
The EMP museum was cool...it is a music lovers dream, all that paraphernalia...the gift shop was drool-worthy...I bought myself a vinyl copy of The Clash's LONDON CALLING...The Nirvana exhibit was interesting...I am pretty schooled in the timeline of Nirvana's rise and fall so I did not feel compelled to read all the stuff but the unseen items, posters, photos, art work by Kurt, etc were pretty damn cool.
The Jimi Hendrix exhibit was funky too...lots of interactive stuff @ EMP...if you are even in Seattle it is worth a stop.

I ate a donut at ROCKET DONUTS that changed my life...I dunno wtf it was called...it's goodness made me forget it's name...no fooling. Anyhow - it is how every other donut on earth shall be judged now...

No it was not that bacon one in the picture below...I did not go there.

I was certainly schooled in the art of pretend meat this weekend...staying with vegetarians and all...the soy hot dog place in Seattle was kick ass...and the Canadian Thanksgiving feast made with TOFURKEY & QUORN was shockingly good tasting...not even kidding!

I arrived home with no border cop issues at all which was lovely...though I still spent far too much time convinced some low life slipped hash into my carry on bag...

I came home and made a gigantical thanksgiving dinner - Alex came over and chowed with us and hung out while we chatted LIFE LOGISTICS while A. layed on the couch in a carb coma. haha Today I have just tiddled around...back to work tomorrow...booo!

AWESOME WEEKEND!!! You totally deserved it!
London Calling is still one of a small handful of records that I still listen to. Good album.

HI ADELE! - I think it's been probably years since I've said hello to you!

Jen, having you visit was the shit (good shit) for an already bombshelly awesome year, you & Ayla are welcome here anytime you need a slice of the Seattle vibe. You're family yanno - my nesty bed is yours... literally. I'm glad you had as much fun as we did!

It'd be cool to get Barb along too, seeing a show in Pioneer Square... the right show, anyway... can make a Seattle experience a fierce memory.

COME BACK SOON, WOMAN.
