Waiting at Chicago O'HareFinally, after a turbulent flight that made me wonder about what happens when you die, I made it to SeaTac airport. After a quiet cab ride home, I was happy to find Andy and Adam waiting for me with a 12-pack of PBR. We watched Adam's newest production about muralist Ryan Henry Ward that can be watched here. We also watched an awesome piece on Mr. Yuk & the Poison Control Center that friends Harry Calbom and Austin Wilson produced that everyone should see as you never know when you might drink too much cough syrup (like I did when I was four).
Saturday was a day of errands including getting a new phone plan and buying this amazing fake cigarette that actually draws what looks like smoke! I'm going to use it for the next couple of months (after this job is over) to finally end my expensive and discusting habit that has interrupted my "nice-guy" image. In the evening, Andy and I had a bit of pre-party fun at the BalMar where friends John and Walter took good care of us:
After a couple of Sea Breezes we were off to Adam & Kelsey's, where I got to meet their newest kitten, Clementine. It was a great time seeing some good Seattle friends who are not happy about my decision to move back to Minneapolis after a 4+ year stint (give or take a few months building fences or lulling around Chicago).
The plan is to load up the minivan and head home some time in August, after a summer of taking in what I've missed about the Pacific Northwest, including camping and Vancouver, BC. In the fall, I'm heading back to school to get my teaching license from Metropolitan State University, and hopefully pick up a Masters in Education before re-entering the real world with a whole bunch of stories to tell about my "passage into adulthood." Until then, I'll enjoy the ride.
