Awake: 6:43am Temp 51 Light rain Overnight @ Chimacum, WA
Kathy calls Melissa in Anchorage for an update, “How are you today?” They
talk for some 45 min.
Then…we start driving to Bainbridge Island to catch the 12:20 ferry to
Seattle. Early January,Melissa & Kevin purchased our 1984 Ford van &, last
week, sent us the title to sign & return for their signatures. So we
utilize the FDX Kinko’s again on 3rd Ave.
We ride the free city bus to the Nordstrom Rack where I call both boys on
their cells phones & invite them to join in the hunt for new guy threads.
Nick is not interested & will continue to work on his exam; Zack will join
us in 30 min. I buy 2 tee shirts, Zack buys 3 shirts & a pair of shoes &
Kathy merely buys a scarf. We exit the rack around 5:00pm & walk over to
Zack’s apartment which is maybe 15 min away.
Zack gets a cell phone call from 2 of his pals from Purdue; they are in
the area & want to visit Zack & maybe have dinner with us. He asks for our
OK & we agree. In the meantime, Nick calls & is getting hungry + Kathy
would like to visit the Trader Joe’s store @ the top of Queen Anne hill to
stock up on some groceries only found @ Joe’s… + she would really like to
do this today. Not long after Zack’s Purdue friends call, they arrive.
Zack has a plan: Take Kathy up to Trader Joe’s, drop her off, then call
Nick and have him wait 20 min, then pick Kathy up & bring themselves down
to his apartment. From there, we’ll all walk to Ivar’s for dinner.
8:00pm dinner: Kathy & I split a salad and wild Alaskan Salmon which was
very good. We 6 exchange a lot of dialogue during the next 1.5 hrs….then
say our goodbyes to our boys for now + to Zack’s friends. We catch the
9:45pm ferry to Bainbridge Island…& return to our bus just before
Midnight.
Today’s high temp=? Lights out: 12:24am
