The Red Army suffered a 2-1 loss tonight against the Grizzlies, despite a third period comeback. We were missing a few key players, and that might have made the difference.

I can't believe the weekend is over already, but it was a good one. Besides hitting the usual bars at night heres some things that happened:

  • I spent too much money (again) at the iTunes music store.
  • We took in the first "Secret" at the Seattle Film Festival. It was really good, but ultimately not a very uplifting film. After the show, me, Matt and Ben walked basically in silence all the way from the Egyptian theatre to Broadway grill for breakfast. I wish I could say more about this great movie, but I did sign an oath of secrecy.
  • Speaking of Broadway Grill, I got a free breakfast there the previous day (Sat) because I was sitting at the counter and the manager thought I was neglected. I didn't notice. In general, we recommend that place for breakfast, but not for dinner.
  • Today I was really late meeting Mira for climbing at Vertical World because my Flexcar wasn't returned by the previous person in time for my reservation! Recall that rather than buying a car I enrolled in the "Flexcar" car sharing program. The program works using an internet reservation system. You must bring back the car by the time you say you will, or else the person who has the time slot right after you will be really inconvenienced. After waiting 20 minutes for the car to arrive, I called the toll-free number and they arranged for a cab. The person who didn't return the car on time will be paying for my $25 cab ride to Ballard. However, it doesn't really make up for it -- that missed hour of climbing is worth way more to me than the money.

Jenn will be here next weekend for a little visit AND in America we get that Monday (Memorial Day?) off! Here's a picture of us from that last visit.
