Espresso on

Zebras, football, espresso.

I was pretty excited today when my daughter presented both ZoZo and Amélie for a trip on the big boat. I’m pretty fond of the letter Z and zebras, less so the animal and more so the football official, my dad having officiated football throughout most of my childhood and the memories I have thereof. I knew just where I was going.

The zebras outside Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks – notice the football pig in the background, a Rachel likeness.

Espresso, mountains, skyline, monkey.

No animals were harmed in the making of this Art – but it was close.

Ironically, my daughter offered some advice this morning she had never before proffered: “Daddy, be safe on the big boat!”

Down the driveway and up to the road I pedaled with Curious George tucked safely away to cheers of “Bye, bye Curious George!” He spent most of the day in my bag but his opportunity for further fame arrived on my daily walk for an afternoon espresso at my favorite local coffeehouse, Zeitgeist.

I love ice cream.

My daughter loves ice cream too, having devoured an ice cream sandwich the very first time she ever saw one. Since one of the joys in my life is sharing ice cream with my family we have it quite frequently, sometimes at home and sometimes at Mora as a treat. If you find yourself at Mora, skip the vanilla (though it’s my favorite flavor theirs is nothing special) and try one of the more unusual varieties (my current choice being banana split).
