I had a birthday party for Mike, my 2 year old grandson, Sunday. It was nice having family over and focusing on celebrating a two year old than what was happening elsewhere.

Yesterday afternoon it was off to Seattle to see Christine Lavin. (Zoe does the christinelavin.com site and I do the christinelavin.com records site.) She was playing at the Century Ballroom on Capitol Hill. Great old ballroom built in 1903. Christine was great. Waited after the show to drive her to her hotel so we ended up on the 1 am ferry back to Whidbey Island.

Now it's back to surreality land.
