How to pass a drizzly Sunday...

While Bridge, John K. & Judy went driving around Seattle looking for a sports bar to watch the tennis finals of the U.S. Open, John G. & I enjoyed time at the Seattle Art Museum. Among their new acquisitions is a video art piece by Bridge's partner, Wynne Greenwood. As you can see in the photo, these kids "totally got it" and were glued to the show.

Meanwhile, B, J & J were still driving around. The Sea Hawks were playing and, in spite of Bridge's most persuasive powers, no self respecting sports bar in the city was willing to switch a TV to tennis. While this cruising and negotiating was going on, John & I continued on with a pleasant stroll through the Pike Place Market and had a nice lunch. Eventually we found our way back to our B&B where we found our threesome plunked on the sofa still waiting for the match to start... some excuse about miscalculating start time & rain in NYC. (Somehow I think we beat the threesome as far as midday activities.) However, there are now a lot of moans and cheers coming from the now foursome so I think happiness has returned to all.

Trivia from yesterday... The boring machine is named Bertha, not after our cat, but after Seattle's first (1926-1928) and only female mayor as well as the first female mayor of a major city.

Trivia for today... What is the Seattle Art Museum known as?
