Walk up Westlake to work. Spend the whole day with the Sea Otters while their teachers do conferences with parents. We play Humpty Dumpty Dumpty. The kids dance and shake their rattles. Another day of sunny fun on the playground. The Dolphins join us. The kids practice a fake kind of crying. They tell me, "Cry, Mike!" They love my drama. They are quite chatty at lunchtime.

The kids are high-energy today. Testing. Testing. Toni splits up the Seahorses and takes 3 of them inside. Lunch with the Sea Otters gets problematic when one throws up. Naps are a struggle, too.

Melissa Block talks to Boston Globe columnist Kevin Cullen about the mood in Boston the day after the attack at the marathon - 'Sadness And Defiance' The Mood In Boston After Attacks.
Take a deep breath. The sun beckons me. Take a short walk around the neighborhood. People are avoiding eye contact with me. Faces cast down. Well then. I'm dwelling on the news. I'm sure no one wants to think about the terrible things that happened in Boston, but everyone thinks about it. People are walking their dogs and taking their jogs... eyes cast down. And it's a beautiful warm, sunny day for running. I wish... Home again. Spaghetti carbonara for dinner. I'm tired. As a Boston boy, Martin, puts it...

Watch KOMO News. I know of something similar at 2200 Westlake. It's a sunken boat skulpture. I like this more... A boat in a Seattle traffic circle.
Spaghetti for dinner. Watch movie - Across The Universe... since Beatles music seems to be following me around. How did they film that underwater dream scene?
Inevitabre! Things are inevitabrey going to change! To neutralize my obsession with North Korea, I watch Team America, World Police. I manage to doze off for a little while. Spinach and sweet onion omelet and hash browns for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Something from the live blog:
Walk up Westlake to work. It's a rather fun Friday. Photos show it best.
Land Of The Lost Table! Dramatic play with toy people and dinosaurs.
Little boy? Why are you eating your shirt?
We have a great time outside, too. It's rather chilly, but the kids don't seem to care. Inside, we enjoy a leisurely lunchtime. Naps are fairly easy. Streetcar to my place. My back is really achy. Treat myself to watching Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil - Fisting Fantasy. Trapped inside a video game, the Gang embark on an epic quest to slay The Red Knight – and make a special friend along the way. I love that furry little guy. And it's awesome that Todd is The Barbarian.

Over to Seahorses. They're involved with water play. While we're playing outside some showers show up. We get wet. Over to Sea Otters. Leah reads stories while the kids eat their lunches. I'm thinking, "You don't have to be a teacher all the time." Anyway... I set out the mats. Clean up the lunch mess. Down for naps. The Seahorses... "Their brains are exploding," Kenn says. Walk up to Whole Foods. They have Caprese salad. Drop off stuff at my place. Walk around d'town for a little while. More Todd. More Todd. MORE TODD!
Black bean soup for dinner.
Watch Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil - Simply the Beast. When cheerleaders start disappearing from the school hallways, leaving only their shredded uniforms behind, the gang becomes convinced that they've been eaten by a mysterious creature called The Beast. Todd shows off his martial arts skills.
Walk up Westlake to work. Art, art and more art. The kids work on an art project here. "I want yellow."

woensdag 10 april 2013 Up at 4:02. Bad weather everywhere. Hail, lightning, heavy rains and winds strike Chicago. Seattle is getting drenched with rain again. Chili lime tofu and rice for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. As I understand it, today is the day President Obama’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2014 will be released.
The show discusses Obama’s Social Security Gambit. Thank you, Steph. Food for thought. One episode of Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil before I go to work. The gang tries to rescue Jenny from the retirement home, but they're forced to fight an army of seniors hungry for human flesh. Ew! Very gross! Redierment Home.
Walk in the rain with my big umbrella to work. Leah and I deal with the 5 Sea Otters. It's a miracle, but the rain stops. We take these high-energy kids out to the Infant Playgound. They love to play on the rocking blue dogs. They are just too "doggone" fun to ride. The wind is blowing through the chimes. One of the kids says, "Too loud!" Short lunchtime again. The kids are so tired that they're acting giddy and silly. I turn off the lights early. Down they go... on their nap mats. "Night, night." As usual, the Seahorses are a challenge for naps. Over to the Infant Room. I watch the Ducklings sleep. One-by-one, they wake up. I take them to the Toddler Playground. I leave after our playground time. Walk up to the 500 Mercer QFC. This store makes the best halibut salad. #3 bus to d'town. The bus gets crowded. (And Metro plans to cut back service... again?)
Halibut salad Niçoise and ramen noodles for dinner. Watch MSNBC.

dinsdag 9 april 2013
dinsdag 9 april 2013 Up with alarm. Watch KOMO News. Offbeat vid of a chair-man in a coffee shop.
The news is fun for me this morning. Report - Africa’s first traditional gay wedding: Men make history as they marry in full tribal costume.
Mushroom omelet for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. A caller has some choice remarks about gay marriage. Chris lights into him. “Marriage is about making a life together with the person you love... it’s not just about sex.” As Ward goes on his demonic dirty talk. "Dirty, dirty!" I'm cracking up!
Walk up Westlake to work. Breaks for the Starfish teachers. I read the Big Sharks book to the kids. Another boy seems interested in his giant plastic spiders. The playground and the deck are both busy with kids running around in different directions. It's a manageable chaos. Over to Sea Otters. Only 4 kids. Fresh from a walk, the kids settle down for lunchtime. They're not very hungry. Story time. Then down for naps. Magical nap time for the Seahorses. Unusual for them, but wonderful. Walk up to Whole Foods for juice, soy cream and hot bar. Back to my place. Listen to All Things Considered. Different reports about the hullabaloo on the Korean peninsula. Some are saying "ho-hum" and others seem rather nervous. "It's like a joke. It's like a playground bully," says Hong, 76, a retired shoe manufacturer who asked to be referred to by a single name. "I don't take it seriously. It's nonsense." NPR - A View From South Korea: The North Is 'A Playground Bully' NBC - US Prepares To Defend Allies Again North Korea.
Thank you, Richard Engel. Teriyaki salmon and hash browns for dinner. Todd & The Book of Pure Evil finishes off with the epic season finale Episode 13: A Farewell to Curtis' Arm. As Todd says: Destiny sucks.

Seattle Sloshes Through Record-setting Weekend Rain. Interesting report - Broadcasters Worry About 'Zero TV' Homes. Watch WLS live coverage of the Public Memorial for Roger Ebert at the Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago.
Walk up Westlake to work. Join the Dolphins for a couple hours while Sarah does some planning time. Time flies with these kids. We head out to the playground. They seem to surround Cristin. I take a couple boys inside while I set up lunches. They eat lunch early. I set out the nap mats while they eat. Over to Sea Otters. Mellow group. We read Tough Boris before nap time. They love it when I say, "He was MASSIVE!"
Over to Seahorses. All 8 kids are here. Someone is upset about mommy going back to work. I expect chaos but everything works out fine. Back to Dolphins. They're all awake... doing art, reading books, etc. Streetcar to d'town. #550 bus tunnel to Uwajimaya. A little shopping. I see some Mariner fans shopping, too. Game tonight. #72 bus tunnel up to my place. Turn on KOMO News. Seattle police chief John Diaz is resigning. The police department is a mess. Most people are saying, "They should have thrown him out a long time ago!"
Watch the next 3 episodes of Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil... starting with The Ghost of Chet Sukowski.
Then The Phantom of Crowley High. At last, Checkmate. Todd is the Pure Evil One come to bring about the apocalypse? No way! Teriyaki salmon and spicy Chinese eggplant for dinner. Watch movie - Beach Party in honor of the passing of Annette Funicello.

zondag 7 april 2013 Up at 4:07. It's going to be a gross but funny movie day. Watch movie - Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil. Mozzarella and mushroom omelet with hash browns for breakfast. Watch 5 epeisodes of Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. Jason Mewes is in this series. He's Jimmy. He's so cool. I love how the evil book becomes an evil electric guitar which almost destroys Crowley High.
Take a walk in the rain to B'way listening to the Seattle Episode of A Prairie Home Companion. I laugh at the Waterfront Tunnel Debate with Guy Noir. "If they dig a tunnel, it's gonna turn this city into Los Angeles. The last nail in the coffin." #60 bus back to First Hill. Freeway Park back to my place. How do you enforce law in a land of lawlessness? The cast discuss the ethical challenges of living in a world without a criminal justice system. Dead serious again. Watch The Walking Dead - Judge, Jury, Executioner.
Spaghetti for lunch. 4 more episodes of Todd. Doh! The Mariners lost in Chicago... in 10 innings. Back to The Walking Dead. Carl shoots Shane dead... because he becomes a walker.
Season 2 finale: Beside The Dying Fire. Sweet dreams, everyone.
