Seeing off the SeaTac sweetie

No one, neither puggle nor Jew, escapes the "drink all your water, Johnny" police that work at the airport. I actually saw two power-drunk rent-a-cops double-team a dude with their pepper spray and nightsticks because he tried to slip past them with a fruit punch juice box. I would have reported it but they made vague and threatening comments about ever seeing my luggage again. The closer you drift to Tacoma the more you get a sense of it being every man for himself.

Elementary my dear Watson

Chase Lake elementary, Edmonds school district. I'm liking it so far, but the 8:20 drop-off is making it difficult to make it to work before 10am. I'm going to have to make it up in the evenings and early mornings when I'm childless.

Downtown, between Hither and Thither streets

Well, I've traded India (GMT +5.5) for western Europe (GMT +1) which makes for some early-ass meetings. This morning was the Danish uber-crew from our hosting provider who told me "we'r in yr datacentr, tweakin yr srvrs!". And my response: lol stfu kthx.

You might be in Tukwila if...

Ethan and I were drooling over totally different things in this case. He wanted the giant diamond so much he was willing to trade his Wii. It was strange and familiar to be back at the southcenter mall... I kept looking for Sir Mix-A-Lot, but I guess he was shopping at Northgate or Alderwood.
