Awake: 7:50am      sleep 8+31      sunny      overnight @ Seattle, Washington.

Nick invited all of us to meet with him & his family @ 9:15am @ the "Top Pot" for donuts this morning. I've heard that he likes this place & usually every Sunday, brings his family here for donuts. Donuts are not enough for my breakfast...so I took no chances & had my bowl of (3) different kinds of cereal with yogurt, blueberries & strawberries smothered in organic whole milk.

@ the "Top Pot" Zack asked me what I would have; after perusing the many types of donuts & other pastries, I chose a cherry scone, which was darn good. Kathy & Katrina shared a thick slice of squash bread & the rest of them had donuts.

Zack had to leave the party early to pick Katie up from the Sea-Tac airport upon her return from Chicago. After some casual political discussion, we all broke up & had different things to do.

K & I did some quick grocery shopping @ Trader Joe's then walked back to Zack's place. Just as we were approaching the Z house, Zack & Katie pulled into their parking spot.

Early afternoon, more Mario games with Katrina, Katie, & Zack. Katrina was very vocal & really enjoyed this game amidst frustration.

About (6) months ago, Nick & Eriko bought a used player piano built during the early 30's...however, there are a few things that might need repairing. So after Nick & family finished their pot-luck luncheon across town, he swung by Zack's house & picked Kathy & me up & brought us to their condo.

Nick & I had some free time this afternoon so why not take a look @ the classic piano. Neither of us know much about player pianos; with (2) flashlights, we began our investigation into this mysterious music maker. We didn't get too far due to the complexity of the system, but we knew enough to stop & do no more before Nick Googled the Internet for some much needed help. What he found out was: this is no job for amateurs. And, I am thankful that we did not take screws, bolts, nuts, air tubes, etc, from the inside works before checking with Mr. Google. Whew!

After that, K & I walked back to Zack's house by the scenic route. As we were arriving, Katie & Zack were just leaving, making another trip to the airport. This time, to pick up roommate, Nate, arriving from Missouri & to get Katie's luggage that the airline failed to have on her return flight to Seattle.

Late dinner: power burger with caramelized onions, salad, chips & sourdough bread.

The evening was still young & these lively people had more Mario games to conquer. Tonight  we have Katie in the audience & roommate Nate as part of the Mario team.
