All of a sudden my daughter just started using lots of signs and real words and everything. It’s bizarre. Like shit just got real.

There’s a little human in there, making her will known.

Man, I’ve gotta stop saying things like “shit just got real”; both because she might repeat it, and because people who are allowed to use lingo like that don’t use semicolons in sentences. Nor the word “lingo”.

My wife linked me to this article about Seattle. It’s all true.

I like the idea that it’s sunset for 12 hours a day. Absolutely true, that. Basically it’s golden hour all day — which is probably why it looks gorgeous to me all the time.

We do have some cloud-cover where we are right now (Issaquah, about 20 minutes East of Seattle), but we’re far enough away from the coast and into the foothills that I think our area misses a lot of it. Either that or global warming is burning it all off.

But the bonus is you get dry-ice with the cold stuff.

Here’s to a fun year. If that guy who misinterpreted ethnographer’s misinterpretation of the Mayans is right, this is the penultimate day of the penultimate year. Seems auspicious.

but man this place is weird. I’m learning I have preconceptions, expectations, and prejudices about certain things that just don’t work out here. I’m having to come up with an entirely new model for people.

Getting older is weird. I’m unsure if things get more complicated or I just become more aware/exposed to complications. It’s hard to know for sure, because anyone you ask isn’t going to remember it right anyway, since the very things that might cause you to notice things more now are affecting the people you would ask in the first place.
