... of actual planes as well as a mock up of the inside of the new 787 Dreamliner. We were taken on a 90 minute tour of the plant where 30,000 people work. It is the largest building in the world covering 93 acres. There are 1300 bicycles in the plant to help people get around. The plant has no heating or cooling system as there are 1 million light bulbs in the ...

... to put on a hot "going out" outfit and sit in their bar and look at the pretty glass sculptures and art! Of course with a yummy drink in hand! But instead I got to tour their convention center rooms, and two other rooms, sit in a meeting and be very cold in their foyer. I would have preferred to sit by the fire with said yummy drink and outfit, preferrably on a weekend. Instead I chilled with some cool but slightly older Norwegian ladies and ...

Well here's what I wrote last Saturday. Never sent it because we've been otherwise occupied, as you'll read in the more recent update further below: March 8th- Chemo weeks just plain suck!! Thirteen radiation treatments and one more Chemo to go, we can almost see the edge of the woods... Wednesday we had appointment with the ENT chief at UW, treatment is working!!! Tumor on base of tongue is no longer visible ...

... along with his plan. Much to mine and Kat's happiness we discovered a lower parking lot along the way down and told the boys we'd wait there while they hiked back to the top to fetch the car and come pick us up. Due to my incredible gracefulness, I managed to trip over my untied shoelace while walking down a set of concrete stairs. I think Kat was the only one who made sure I was okay before she cracked up laughin...but I think I ...

... neatly in my purse. After all, a free meal is a free meal. The man next to me, Nick, as he introduced himself, offered me several of his food items, and by the end of the flight, I had secured an extra brownie, fruit cup, banana, and two bags of pretzels. Nick was in a considerably good mood by this point in the flight, and even humoured a small boy who came up to him and made to pour a cup of water on his lap. The gregarious toddler had ...

I got to Seattle yesterday but the airline (China Airlines) was unable to get me on another flight right away. Since they had no seat for me before Dec 5th, I wasn't sure how much time I would have to spend in Seattle and was not too thrilled at the idea of sleeping a few nights at the airport. Hence, I decided to go to the Green Tortoise hostel and booked a couple of nights just ...

... cast spectacular ending. Okay, concert over now, swim like salmon out the building, can't get close to souvenirs, down the ramp, the hot evening air, will the car still be there? It was. Now we're back on the street, traffic cops directing lines and lines of the outward bound. I've got the route perfectly memorized back to our hotel, since I don't see too well for after-dark street-sign searching. The cop is waving me left, but cars from the right ...

... view of our situation as humans on the planet at this time in evolution. No one else we've read is looking quite so broadly or deeply at the issues. I was again a little stunned that this man who had become one of my heros after reading his book is not way ahead of us and that in fact we are asking some questions he hasn't thought about, and others that he has thought about but not as deeply in many cases as we have. So much for heros. This is not to ...

... building. Geometric and modern to the max. We wandered around in there for a bit and then headed up to the Frye Gallery where we saw a few fun shows. One was exceptionally fun and then there was the NSK show which was basically a group of Russian artists who banded together to question the concept of avant-garde and originality. They also drew a lot of inspiration from political movements such as fascism and communism creating an entire ...
