We had our last dinner at Zoe before it closes its doors in Belltown. Many early dates and birthdays were enjoyed here.

Joey Nix is curating another great show at the Whisky Bar at 2nd and Virginia, starting tonight. Got a chance to talk with Joe (the name by which I knew him before fame required a nom de plume) for about an hour. He's got two BIG projects coming up.  Can't wait to see them take shape.

Todd had some old lawn darts and that game occupied much of our day Sunday. Omare was dominant for a while...until he got taken down by Jaime.

Jaime's cooking has been well documented here and, by now, speaks for itself. Nelle is also an excellent cook, so we ate inconceivably well all weekend. Our menu included, in order, Greek salad and Za'atar chicken, lobster rolls on buns from Columbia City Bakery, eggs/sausage/potatoes, grill pizza with Salumi pepperoni, pulled pork sandwiches (roasted in Dr. Pepper and various savory goodness for 48+ hours) and the obligatory s'mores at the camp fire.

This weekend Todd invited us and one other couple, Omare and Kasha, to his cabin near Allyn, in the South Sound.  The weather was perfect for a 4th of July weekend.  We ate, drank and played games all day for two days.  Saturday afternoon another couple picked us up in their boat and we got a chance to float and swim around Harstine Island.  Life was sweet.

...that moment when you love a song or a whole album so much
 that you start to worry about the day when it will become 
just another piece of music and you cannot imagine that 
you'll ever find another piece quite so good...
