Live from Seattle

So here I am, sitting on the 27th floor of the Microsoft offices, overlooking Lake Washington. I can see the Space Needle in the distance. It’s fuzzy because it’s a grey day here (which I guess is usual for Seattle). But it’s taunting me all the same. I thought I was going to get to skip being interview-support today, and run around the city. I have 3 maps in my bag, and a list of all the places I wanted to see:

All of these places are located within a 20 minute walking radius of my hotel. I could have spent the day wandering and taking interesting photos of homeless musician kids (which apparently Seattle is known for and sort of reminds me of Brooklyn). But I am here instead, standing by to help our team update their presentation if we need to change slides for the afternoon portion of our interview. And I’m not so mad. I met a great bunch of people, had some delicious dinners, and got to wander a bit of the city. Now I have a great view, a few hours to spare, and I know I want to come back here sometime for a vacation. And even though I can’t make it to the museum today, at least I have a sci-fi book to read.
