Hello. Good morning.

I woke up in Olympia today at the house of my dear friends.  I was on the couch, so I literally (but comfortably, fortunately) rolled out of bed (couch) at 6:15 to get up and enjoy some morning time with my gal who had to be at work at 7:00.  As I stretched myself awake, I had this song in my head, so I sang to my gal while she was making us some coffee and reheating muffin-sized spinach frittatas (yum!) before I drove her to work (which made her man very happy cuz it meant he could head back to bed). 

I really love waking up in Olympia, so much so that I'm ready to come out and say to the internet world that it is my New Year's resolution to get my bad self out of the woods of Potlatch.  It's been a beautiful stay (3.5 years at this point), but I have been weighing the pleasure and beauty of Skokomish territory living against the centrality of moving back to the O for some time now.  It is time to start looking.  Dear Oly friends, I love you dearly, and it seems I will be closer to you again soon.  And then I won't have to crash every time I want to do something later in the evening on Oly nights.
