My parents met us at The Daily Perk Sat morning for the big hand-off. They took Britta and Karsten for 24 hours! As soon as they pulled away the timer was on - Jana and I set off in panic mode - how much house/yard work can we accomplish in 24 hours?!? We were seriously working with a mission.
After a long day of work we headed to Burien for a nice dinner. Yes, this is not a type-o - we went to BURIEN for a nice dinner. It feels like Burien has been transformed back to the 1950's - back in its prime - when people actually went to downtown Burien, for fun, drinking and to meet friends.
Just a few years ago you would only go to downtown Burien if you needed a payday loan, something from a pawn shop or a tatoo.
Anyway, i saw a bumper sticker last night that sums-up my outlook on life: Die Trying. It's kinda strange- i'm not worried about death. I just want to be doing something cool when i die. windsurfing. singing in a rock band. riding my bike in europe. you get the idea. And while i'm on the topic - i have very specific instructions on what to do with my body when i die. I want my ashes to be sprinkled in the water, along the bouy line on the South side of Three Tree Point.
Ok, this was not suppose to be a blog post about house work, Burien and my death. but, oh welll, i'm hung over. Read Jana's blog if you want to know why.
Awesome post. Yeah, I played for Crombie Chevron back in the day and B-town was still scary back then. Glad to see it's taking a turn for the better.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I want my ashes scattered over the Rose Bowl at sunset during the game the next year the Huskies play there after my death. Coincidentally, I'm sure they won't make it to the Rose Bowl until after my death anyway. So it should work out great.
