A change is as good as a d'oh

Welp--5 flights, 1 Ambien, no lost luggage, 1 medical emergency and 5500-odd miles later, I'm back in Seattle. I wish I'd taken more pictures, eaten less, danced more and worked smarter, but mostly I'm just tired and happy that it was such a fun week.

I'll post a few pictures later but for now here's a taste of my travels:

• Saw this exhibit--at a private viewing and later at the public opening
• Had pizza and bubbly here
• Visited this new park but didn't see anyone behaving inappropriately
• Stopped in here for cupcakes
• Ate here twice--and, well, je regrette
  
• Heard this amazing band, and this one too
  
• Spent 3 days working with these fine folks
• Had the best French 75 ever here, not to mention a burger extraordinaire
