Awake: 7:05am Partly sunny Overnight @ Seattle, WA
K & I have breakfast in our hotel....then coffee @ Starbucks.
During our idle time this morning, we watch the movie: "Over the TOP" with
Sylvester Stallon. I'm not a fan of his but this was one of his earlier
flicks & it was hmmm, ok.
Call my sister Corinne in PA & leave a message.
Call my ole buddy Ray in Ocean Shores who I haven't had any contact with
for quite awhile....then I find out why. He's been in the hospital & had
another operation. We chat for about 35 min...he's recuperating nicely.
@ 1:15pm we start walking toward N & E's condo on Queen Anne hill. Usually
it's a 50 min walk up & about 40 min back. Today we have an invitation to
see Zack's living space & we are excited. Eriko will be joining us as she
hasn't seen Zack's new hangout either. We four casually stroll over to
Zack's area(20 min)...seeing old homes along the way, most of which are
well kept, each so different in design & truly a joy to behold.
Zack greets us @ the door, introduces us to one of the three roomates, Sara
& asks us to remove our shoes before going any further. Hey, is this our
son? Oh, this place is kept quite clean & organized because two of his
roomies are "girls!" Zack & Jeff, the other guy, have the downstairs. We
tour the entire house....also a early period home(1920,s) in very good
condition & updated with modern appliances. I liked the basement the best;
ample space with a ping-pong table & an atmosphere of warmth in winter &
cool in summer. To our amazment, the basement was very organized & quite
clean. Good work Zack! Us guys play a little ping-pong which quickly
reminded me that: it's not my game anymore...unless I practice a lot.
After this wonderful tour, we all(minus Todd who flew back to Indiana this
morning) hop into Zack's Camry & drive (3 min) to the "Paragon Restaurant"
for diner. First: an appetizer of five big prawns (one for each of us),
then the main course,five BIG & delicious hamburgers with wine. It was a
good spot to enjoy some casual eating & casual conversation. We were there
for at least two hrs.
Zack drove us five to Nick & Eriko's condo where we say "goodnight" to
them and Zack & we walk back down the hill to our hotel for the night.
Late evening: Watch the movie: "Walkout." A true 1960's story in L.A.
Lights out: 10:15pm
