So I was up in Seattle....
And seeing the people I saw was super but the town itself had me thinking "boy am I glad I don't live here anymore"
Traffic was amazingly horrid as I trekked back to Portland yesterday. It started in Shoreline, conveniently located to where I was at (visiting the folks) all the way to Olympia. Thats a hell of a lot of stop and go traffic.
I wish I had had more time to spend up there. See more people. Do more things. I would have liked to make a visit to the Mercury or NocNoc or something especially since I was sans children. But to get that much time off to go up there was just not available or ample time from work to make that trip. perhaps in the future.
I was reminiscing a little. Just to scatter my thoughts around. About conventions, aprties, etc and I thought about CB (Clan Burnout). Weird thought for me given all the crazy involvement I had with S for years. I wonder if they still get together. If they try to locate members? Or do reunions of sorts? I was thinking it might be neat to "see where they are now".
I guess with the birthday I've picked up a bit of nostalgia. Hell, there are a couple of people I have talked to for years (you know who you are) that I still have to try to meet. barbi you are SO one of those people and Heather and... and... and....
I"m picking up my Harry potter book tonight cause I was too tired and exhausted last night to make the witching hour trip. Plus I was feeling a mite anti-social and knew the environment would be quite the social gathering. But at least I'll have something to read for the next few days.
