zondag 10 mei 2009 Up at 5:05. Turn on KEXP - Mind Over Matters. Alternative Radio re-plays the David Korten speech. Check out Pirate TV. Interesting stuff there. I watch the Dr. David Suzuki thing. David Suzuki is brilliant! H-b egg, spinach salad and toast for breakfast. Bath. Take at walk down to Pike Place Market.

I'm rather surprised that there are not many people brunching in the market's restaurants. Cutter's is practically empty. But there's a flower festival. Mostly tulips. Waterfront is busy with tourists boarding the Norwegian Pearl. It's quieter in Myrtle Edwards Park.

Walk down to the sculpture park. Up to the Seattle Center. Nothing much is going on there. Catch a #13 from Queen Anne to d'town. Walk back to my place. Play a little with FM Forums. I like the Taylor Kitsch - Gambit - posting.

Listen to Wait Wait on-line. That's a fun show. Lots of walking today. Another walk up to Cal Anderson Park. Love the fresh air. It's clouding up, but it's a nice 64°. Listen to The Splendid Table. They talk about Riesling. Wine Spectator's Matt Kramer says this ignored gem deserves a revival. It's the perfect quaff with summertime food and sunset watching. Here are some to look for: From France's Alsace Region: Trimbach, especially the Cuvee Frederic Emile, and Hugel. Let's go to Alsace! Listen to Travis Smiley on NPR. He talks with U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on repairing our reputation abroad. Baked potato for dinner. Watch movie - Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country.
