Didn't even think about this, I will try it! This isn't a problem for me when it isn't cold, it is like my nose closes up just as soon as I hit cold air with my bike. Covering my face with the baklava didn't seem to help this part, outside of it taking just a little longer to get there.

Yes. Yes it is. :rolleyes:

While sitting here going through posts, my local jazz station played "Rockin with red" by Mr.B. A terrific piece of toe tapping, head bobbin' jazz music. I could just imagine listening to it on an ipod (if I had one) while bike riding, might even get me to ride faster! :)

I accepted a job offer today! It's part-time, but I think it will be a great fit for what I need to be doing right now. Next week it will have been 3 years since I left my last job. I'm excited to be getting back to work!

Congrats, NbyNW!!!

Woo hoo!!!Congrats!!!

+1 what Salsa said.

Here in Seattle, a small but well-respected design office. I'll be doing a balance of admin and entry-level work, but if it turns out to be a good fit there is definitely room to grow.

I'm so happy for you!!

Yayyy!! Welcome back.

Congratulations!

We just planned and booked our summer vacation to the San Juan Islands and Seattle. We'll be staying at a B and B in Friday Harbor as our base, flying in on 7/27 and then we will explore the other islands with our bikes for a few days. We also have people to visit (former colleague of my DH) in Friday Harbor that have been bugging us for years to visit. Then we head to Seattle for 2 days, staying downtown.
I am really excited. I've never been to the northwest, although DH worked for a company based in Belleview for a few years. The one time I was supposed to go there to meet him for a holiday event, we had a blizzard and the airport shut down.

Crankin, there are probably a few people here that would love to meet you (like me) so when you are in downtown Seattle, let us TE people know.
