February 22, 2007 [thumb:1219:c:l=p] The Boyfriend took me to see & listen to Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Everything about the concert was fan-freakin-tastic! Bob Seger. The Silver Bullet Band. The backup singers. The lead sax player. The horn section. The song selection—one cover from the 1950s plus original material spanning the late […]

February 22, 2007 [thumb:1218:c:l=p] I would think it would be the heat.

February 22, 2007 A few days ago, I wrote about listening to an audio cassette recorded by my paternal grandparents at Christmas time in 1972, with grandma describing some of the gifts she and grandpa had received that holiday. Grandpa’s gifts included some “kitchen stuff”—an apron, a baster, a meat thermometer. I don’t know whether […]

February 19, 2007 This afternoon, I listened to part of an audio cassette recorded by my paternal grandparents over 30 years ago. Does anybody remember audio cassettes? On the great technology timeline, they fall between 8-tracks (even I’m too young to really be familiar with those) and CDs. My immediate family lived in the Puget […]

February 12, 2007 Updated February 23 with photos of the Lightship Columbia, Astoria Column, and Dismal Nitch. The Boyfriend and I began the day with a lovely walk along the beach. We started in the rain; the weather cleared up a little later. [cpg_album:198,3] After grabbing espresso to go from Long Beach Coffee Roasters, we […]

February 11, 2007 We had dinner at the Shoalwater Restaurant in the Shelburne Inn (actually in the town of Seaview). Our cottage provided a guidebook with ads, flyers, etc. from area businesses. We saw a menu for the Shoalwater, and The Boyfriend spotted a vegetarian French onion soup listed on it. (Traditional French onion soup […]

February 11, 2007 I probaby won’t have much “dish” on restaurants for this trip. The Boyfriend and I are staying at a place with a fully equipped kitchen, so we’ll make most of our meals. The Long Beach area is famous for its seafood, and since I’m of the vegan persuasion, I wasn’t optimistic about […]

February 10, 2007 This afternoon, The Boyfriend and I headed out for Long Beach, WA for a few days. We stopped in the town of Raymond along the way. (See the Willapa Bay Chamber of Commerce Web site for additional information.) I really liked Raymond for its quiet, small town atmosphere and its great public […]

February 8, 2007 The UHaul on Leary Way in Ballard is next door to Wild At Heart. I think Wild At Heart should move one of the UHaul signs closer to their business. [thumb:1122:l][thumb:1123:l]
