I know!! My bathroom door has slammed shut already twice, and BOTH times I jumped up like a ghost was here!

TRUTH! Langhe is amazing, their langue nebbiolo is one of my favorite wines period. Excellent suggestion, YOU are amazing! (and I’m slightly drunk, but that doesn’t take away from you’re amazement!)

Also, I’m buzzed! and I’m so happy to have virtually met another jezzie that next time I hit up Portland, I am gonna let you (virtually) know! Yay for friendship!

Totally. The northwest is like a campground—too many people just take away from its natural beauty.

Ah too bad. I’m a Geoduck, were you there for school too?

YUS! Thank you! As long as I don’t get too drunk that I mess up my calligraphy menu I will be good then! Wine is another great idea. I can easily add that, and it looks all classy and thoughtful.

Yes! Great suggestion, I’ll look them up and see if they’re open on Sunday. Thanks a bunch.

Don’t you miss the PNW of the old days? I remember walking to RKCNDY when I was in middle school (yay for all ages music venues) and PRAYING that Seattle would grow up into a cosmopolitan city like Vancouver BC. I curse those silly days of old every time I walk through South Lake Union and look at all the cookie…

Ohh nice, I love the PDX! Are you guys experiencing these winds too? I am so over the fires and sun, bring on the drizzle!

That’s a good idea, like maybe I can add some sort of kitchen item to the gift. I like! No, they don’t come over much, Sarah is in great school and Dorothy is a writer and a baker, so constantly busy, but I would LOVE to have a regular night every month where we established that tradition. The women are both so…

Seattle is in full fall storm mode right now, so I am in pjs, in bed, deciding which is more important: to figure out which movie to first watch (I’m stuck between Babadook and the Roger Ebert movie from another commenter’s suggestion) OR to go to the store and get some wine and potato chips (this is how I “make”…

Hands down best MJ song ever. When he died, me and some buddies walked around Broadway, smoking pot, and listening to his music on a little boom box (because we’re kids of the 90s and that’s the only way we could ever imagine healing our hearts!) When this song played we all hung our heads in silence and solidarity,…

Oh what a bummer. I had some friends like that, and it got to the point where I think you’re at, and I had to intentionally talk to them about why I didn’t want to shame people about their weight, or what they eat. It’s funny because many of these same friend would never DREAM of shaming someone for their sexuality,…

Bacon and Star Wars? I think we both already know the answer to that. Resume streaming.

I think we’re soul mates!Thanks for writing, I really enjoyed reading this. I jotted down some of your movie suggestions and today, in Seattle’s stormy weather, I fully plan on wrapping up in blankets and getting the streaming started.

Yeah Matthew 5:38-48, but again we’re called to reconsider the old law.

You’re so right. It really makes me weep when I hear Christians advocate for it. The new covenant is about a very different relationship to God and justice, yet we are a people OBSESSED with justice. When my Christian brothers and sisters get a little hot under the collar and start preaching some “eye for an eye,…

I think Trump would nominate really good SCOTUS candidates...so would Scott Walker. Nothing about either of them rings “insanity,” or “mentally challenged.”

Good joke. Bad penalty.

Dan Savage? Really? A guy who hurls trans-phobic comments at his “trans allies,” and tells bi women to “make up their mind?”
