Sights for Sore Eyes

My “home” in Seattle (first non-hotel of the trip) was my friend Christie’s condo in the Queen Anne neighborhood. She’s been such a gracious host, and she’s got incredible sights out of her living room windows—you can see the Space Needle and the Puget Sound. In addition to Christie being so hospitable by opening up her home to me and showing me around, it’s been great getting to talk about college life with her (she teaches pastoral counseling in the School of Theology at Seattle University), as well as playing Bananagrams and getting to know her wonderful dog, Luke. On Thursday night, we went to a jazz concert at Seattle Pacific University to hear Olivia Hamilton (whom I know from Michigan) play bass--both upright and guitar. Turns out she sang in one song, too. The school concert could have just as easily been a professional one. Lisa and Andrew Kronenwetter were also at the concert, and it was great to catch up with them as well.
