Day One in Seattle

I'm spending a week in Seattle with my brother, and already we're off to a running start with our festivities. I arrived yesterday, and my brother announced that we were going to be having dinner at The Crab Pot, which …

I'm getting too old for this shit.

Yesterday started like any other day. I got up in the morning, took my time getting ready, got caught up on my news online, read my blogs, then went to campus to teach my class. After class, I met with my dissertation …
