seattle addenda

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing friends I don't see much (because they live in Seattle). I hadn't seen Dave for almost ten years, and Matt for maybe nine; Lynn I saw a month or two ago, but it's always nice. Plus she lives near a delicious Thai restaurant and an amazing Danish bakery. Dave and I ate dinner at a terrific Afghan restaurant in Issaquah, and I only managed to see Matt for a few minutes between my Microsoft orientation and his 3:00 meeting. I missed Emma and Roger completely. Next time.

( iPod stuff. )

I talked to a lot of people who like Seattle, one or two who love it, and no one who disliked it. Also: A lot of people in Seattle were nice. Not just smile-nice, the way some Californians are, but genuine and generous. So that was really cool.

Still undecided.
