zaterdag 15 maart 2014 Up at 4:25. Turn on BBC News. The Ukraine crisis intensifies - Moscow rally opposes Crimea intervention. This situation won't calm down. Thank goodness, I can calm down and fall back to sleep for 3 hours. Watch Star Trek - The Paradise Syndrome. Kirk! Stay away from that alien artifact! Kirk staggers out of the obelisk. He has amnesia.

Egg and potatoes for breakfast. Take a short walk around the Denny Triangle. It's spritzing a little. Back to my place to pick up my radio. Walk down to 3rd. Catch a #1 bus to Seattle Center. Mercer Street is even worse for pedestrians than ever. Listening to Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me makes me laugh out loud. Paula Poundstone mocks Joby Ogwyn for his up-coming stunt to jump off Mt. Everest in a wing suit.

Wing-Suit Explorer Joby Ogwyn Gets Quizzed On Wings (The Band). Joby doesn't get one question right. Me? I got one. Walk back to Queen Anne. Catch a #2 back to d'town... now listening to This American Life - No Place Like Home... and the Hello Song. And Hello, Rochester! And... This is getting ridiculous! Hello, Calgary! It's nice to get above 50 degrees. I'm wearing shorts today. From 3rd and Pike... There must be a Sounders game today. Blue and lime-green here-and-there. Back at my place. Turn on Rick Steves on the radio. We get a fresh look at Cuba and Ireland: Hear from a motorcycle-tour guide about how Americans can now legally visit Cuba, then learn about the sophisticated celestial-based geometry the ancient Celts. This is just amazing. Celtics got out there!

Ireland guide Stephen McPhilemy. G. G! What starts with "G"! Google. Goofy. Geoduck. Gay. Gagh. Green Lantern!
