A twist on a tradition

Dina Martina is a Seattle institution, and one of the best things about living there was being able to walk down or take a ten-minute bus ride to see her. The 90-plus-minute ordeal to get down there from Everett on the bus once we moved away really sucked the joy out of it, though. I'm glad I drove us down today. The drinks were $14 so I didn't mind that I could only have two before the show started, and it was nice to be able to get back home quickly. Not sure why it took 45 minutes for us to get a pizza to go once we were back in the neighborhood, but it was nice to be back.



It was shocking to see the rest of the block that Re-Bar is on is being developed. Not that it wasn't obviously going to happen, but I always figured if it did, it'd be the whole block and that nothing that's already there would be spared.

I had a really great hike with the poles this morning but I'll write about it tomorrow.
