kelly hanson arrived. we started a tour of seattle with the seattle center. she was hungry, so we went to the world wraps. i had a texas roadhouse barbeque steak and she had some veggie something or other. we then went to the children's theatre and met some of the staff. good for me and good for kelly. rita giomi was just finishing up generals and kelly talked to jeff miller, the production manager about submitting her portfolio. be great if she could work there. i know i want to go back.



walked to the center house and got i got caramel ice cream and kelly had cookies and cream. we shared a coffee, but it was mostly for kelly as she was tired.

strolled over to the pike market to meet laura. we searched and searched, but had great trouble finding sunblock for kelly. it finally appeared at a little deli near the original starbux. afterwards, we went to athenian seafood in the market.



kel and shared crabcakes and we all split a pitcher of mac & jack's. it was good. and laura and just now figured out that we both went to southwestern. ah, 2 noble kinsmen. remind them of the underwear and they remember everytime. we both thought that we were a friend of someone that went to su.



on the bus home, we met a woman (our age, maybe a little older?) named rhonda. rhonda had a box full of plants, including two hyacinth. i commented on how much i love the smell of hyacinth and she GAVE ME ONE. she said she worked part time at nursery and they were throwing them away. she had such positive energy and was very nice. she suggested we go kyaking, which turned out to be somewhat of a theme with the trip. maybe next time? but rhonda was interesting as i remember her be a writer or something like that.

got home and walked over to kerry park to watch mt. rainier disappear in the darkness. it was beautiful and there was a full moon.
