This weekend was kicked off by a beautiful, sunny, crisp-yet-warmish Friday afternoon and has turned into a drizzly, cool grey Sunday, which is fine with me. Our walk through the Queen Anne neighborhood yesterday took us to the Hilltop Yarn (and notions) store and to Tully’s coffee shop. That neighborhood has some beautiful builings and trees which we hoped to photograph, but the rain and quickly-setting sun sent us inside where I had a ginger peach decaf tea.

We had film night Saturday night where we watched and discussed Garden State. Earlier that day I presented at the Seattle Alliance for Black Educator’s conference with a colleague of mine about Academic Achievement in Science for Students of Color. Before the conference we had breakfast together at Geraldine’s Counter, a classy version of Bobby’s in Searcy, if such a thing exists.

Sunday we went back to the Queen Anne neighborhood and worked for a while at Cafe Ladro. Afterward Justin and I went to the Ogles’ new condo where I got to see Andrea go through the evening routines with Asher. Babies in bathtubs are just so cute and slippery!

I am at work–it’s lunchtime–so I’d best be going. This wasn’t so much a coherent post, but I’ll try making a better one another time this week.
