She Was Correct! It was Sherman Alexie's Fault!

Tonight she came home and headed to the gym.

The parking lot, upper and lower, was jammed.

It wasn't even free pizza night at the gym.

She pondered, "Who could bring everyone out in all this rain?"

And then, "Only our old friend Sherman could cause this!"  

Sure enough, she went up to Third Place Books.

And there he was with an SRO crowd, security guards,

and she was impressed with her intuition.

She knew him in the old days.

With Richard Cohen and Morris Dees

Tonight we ate late again, so fashionable are we.

The keeper and her friend attended a packed Benaroya Hall tonight to hear from Morris Dees and Richard Cohen. Dees is now in his 80's and focused on creating a sustaining legacy

for the SPLC he founded.

There was a meet and greet reception following.

The Seattle Police were very present to protect him.

Missing Mariam

The keeper was fortunate to work with a very lovely young woman 

who left to take another position.

She left a very tidy desk but they would rather have her.

Rain!

NO wandering today.

It rained. And we watched it from our perches.

Another Oliver !

Can you imagine? 

There is another Oliver who wanders!

Hazy Saturday Camino

Saturday smelled like everyone was burning something in their back yards,

but the smoke was really coming from Eastern Washington.

So because there was no mountain to seek, the flowers were much more attention grabbing.

At An American Dream

We dined late, later than the fashionable hour.

She went to a new opera about the Executive Order that 

sent Japanese citizens to camps during WWII.

Many from here were taken and it was to the basement of the old Washington Hall 

where the opera was held  tonight that many of the internees 

were summoned to receive their orders.
