Visual Non Sequitur

Monday, March 22, 2004

There are two cowboys that I always see around town. They wear all the gear – simple cowboy hat, flannel shirt, leather vest, boots, and big belt buckle. They’re beards are frizzy and untrimmed, and they walk a bit bow-legged – like they would if they were wearing chaps. They’re always walking at a steady [...]

Thank You

Idle

Thursday, March 11, 2004

There were three people on Pier 62/63, spaced out across the row of picnic tables at the foot of the pier. The man at the far end played “Making Whoopie” on a clarinet. In the middle, a man wearing a sport coat and a beret leaned back and watched the mountains, then stood abruptly, jogged [...]

This Will Be on the About Page

Wednesday, March 10, 2004

I live in sunny Seattle, Washington, and grew up outside Grandview, Washington – in the Yakima Valley. My most recent meal was a Caprese sandwich. I’m not sure how that’s pronounced. [...]
