Early Morning at UW

In about an hour, Juli & I will catch the University Express #45 for her ultrasound this morning. Instead of the hour-long, winding about through Ballard, Wallingford and the U District bus ride we took last week, this baby will whisk us to our destination in a mere 18 minutes. I am starting to feel like a mass-transit snob.

Juli is on the schedule to work this weekend, and so far, is looking forward to it. Yesterday, Kerne's sister (and roommate) Tyra got hired for her very first job, at the Convention Center Subway, and starts training on Thursday. Brother Jerry also begins a new job in Anaheim, California next week. While I don't look at this familial microcosm as evidence of a large-scale economic recovery, things are looking up for my personal peeps.

Birthday Girl MaryAnn reports that it was snowing in TN yesterday. Because this is so unbelievable for March 22, she had to post video on her blog to prove it--complete with soundtrack of the spring peepers' cacophony in the background!

And Bill reports that the one-day sea trial of the OBIS revealed some post-shipyard problems, but that they should be on the briny deep and back to normal operations in the near future. He is enjoying his new job as the First Assistant, likes his new crew, and is dealing with the increased paperwork stoically.

Time to zip...

Dear P,

I will say that probably by the time you make it back to "these here mountains", the RPT (RogsVegas Public Transit) should be up and running on the newly installed throughout the County rail system - ROFLMAO - THAT is if you don't come home until the year 3000...............
