OUr last Monday in Seattle was a day to work, explore and savor the things we love here! Claire and I started out working online from home. I was in my virtual classroom on Zoom from 9 - 12; she was coding and in meetings until about the same time. Our first big adventure was to go see a potential house for her move at the end of the month. This was in Green Lake not far from the water. It was a possibility as she continues to look for both roommates and pl...

Crazy Sunday in Seattle! Not too many picutres today as my phone spent a lot of the day in repair! :( I started the day out right - got up and went for a 3 mile run.

Not so much my k...

The latter has been a challenge as I am engaging with my co-teachers and students through Zoom. I will be back in the classroom with everyone when I return from Seattle late next week. Once the work was done, it was time to play! ...

For a day that started slowly, it ended with a bang! First BIG news - the weather today was fabulous! Instead of 93 which we endured on Sunday, the high was 68 with a cool breeze. LOVE! Started the day by being the first one in Herkimer Coffee, an adorable coffee shop right across the street from Claire's apartment. It was a great way to start my day and got Claire off to work! I worked this morning on both my P3 Series class (an online course toward proble...
