Last night was one of those rare nights, and too few and far between nights, when nothing will satisfy my hunger like a Dick’s Deluxe burger and some fries and a chocolate shake (Unfortunately not this time).

I was out with a group of friends reconnecting at Quinn’s on Capitol Hill. Most of us had never been there. Immediately upon sitting down I ordered a Manhattan. Others ordered wine and foreign beers. Eventually we ordered food off the menu, which contained, among other delicacies, sweet bread and a bone marrow dish.

My wife and I ordered one small plate and large plate to share. She wanted the gnocchi and I opted for the cube steak. When the meals came we noticed that the portions were small, but we didn’t mind because the conversation was full. We ate and shared our meals with the rest of the table.

Today I was crossing the 520 bridge around 8:30 a.m. on the 545 destined for Redmond and the water was the glassiest I’ve ever seen it—completely still except for a slight breeze rippling the water’s surface. Hazy sunlight all over. Only three boats on the water: small yacht lumbering along and two fishing boats sitting idly. Mt. Rainier towered over the water to the South. No wakeboard boats in sight.

My friend JJ and his coworker recently curated a White Privilege Exhibit at Seattle Pacific University. I just stumbled upon his blog post about it and thought I would share. I’ve never heard of such an exhibit and it took some guts on their part to pull it off because it’s an awkward topic.

Read JJ’s post about the exhibit here. Check out photos from the exhibit on Flickr.

More info on their BLOG. Congratulations RPS crew! I’m looking forward to checking out the space.

McFetridge Exhibit

Over a month ago I strolled down to Seattle’s Olympic Sculpture Park on a quiet, overcast Sunday to see an installation exhibit by Geoff McFetridge.
