“Why the sudden silence,” you ask? “Again,” you add?
I took off for the Seattle area early on Friday to visit with Dawn. For the record, I highly recommend train travel over bus travel. Sure, Amtrak is chronically late… but there are fewer annoying people and you’re not packed in like sardines alongside ‘em.
Anyway. I arrived at the Tukwila station around noon just in time to enjoy a brief rain squall in the middle of a bright sunshiney day. Oh, how I’ve missed Seattle weather. (And by “missed” I mean “managed to blot out from my memory as a trauma defense mechanism.”) Okay, I’m teasing a bit there. Portland weather can be almost as freakish…
And, ah, by “Tukwila station” I mean “a raised platform attached to the rest of civilization by a switchback series of long, long ramps.” Apparently the real station is yet to be built. It’s kinda neat, really.
Dawn and I went out to lunch, then pretty much spent the weekend either shopping, hanging out, playing games or eating. Well, okay, we slept occasionally. All in all, I enjoyed the visit and ended the weekend much more relaxed than I’d started out.
As for not updating when I got home or at any point yesterday… well, I’m a lazy butt. I thought you knew that!

Exaggerate? Moi? I protest my innocence! Or, I would if anyone were to claim I was innocent…
And yeah, I often forget specific events. (Lousy brain.) Sit down, get sat in front of, scoot over, lather, rinse, repeat. *eyeroll* C’mon, people! Pay attention!
heh, you should see the reailway network in india, not to forget the platforms – some of which are no better than footpaths/pavements!
*laughter* You, lazy butt? Say it ain’t so! I’ll go ahead and say it for you darling… guess what lazy butt…
You exaggerate on the train platform *smirk* Maybe because I was too lazy to go up to the platform itself I’ll never know how many “lots and lots” of ramps encompasses.
And what happened to sitting in a theater with annoying people for 3ish hours? Damn annoying people daring to sit in the seat in front of me. They had so many more to choose from.
You two are so silly, I swear. C’mon, bicker over something more interesting… *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
