so in honor of the first day of sunshine in more than a life time in seattle we went for a drive. to look at property. on the islands. i have this ongoing fantasy of having waterfront property in the outskirts of seattle. today we drove out to a rural island and tried to find a llisting i saw online - 2.5 acres, 165' of waterfront. the reality was we didn't find it, and we slogged through ankle deep icewater probably across the road from the actual property only to figure out we really weren't in the right place. but it's a quiet and peaceful island with no businesses. that's kind of cool.

the sock went too. it sat with the GPS for awhile. one day it will be whole.

we got to the superbowl party after a) it was over and b) everyone was totally trashed. sometimes it is sort of entertaining to be the sober one. sometimes.
