Lauren waiting for the big slide at St. Louis City Museum
After six days of basically no allergy symptoms (in Seattle and Portland), as soon as the plane landed in Kansas City, I started to sneeze. Guess the 43 varieties of prairie tallgrass came out to welcome me back home. O-well.
And I'm still a bit on west coast time, too, so feeling vaguely groggy all morning.
And there's the usual amount of Stupid at work. My inner circle of coworkers, my boss, and my boss's boss are all great, smart, competent people, but they can only shield me so much from The Stupid of the larger organization. Plus, I find myself fixating on The Stupid with the horrified fascination of a vegetarian in an abbatoir. Can't...look...away.
Speaking of horrified fascination, saw Watchmen on IMAX with Redz and Hubb last night. It was a good movie, with A LOT OF REALLY GRAPHIC VIOLENCE. Worth it to me to see it, but at the extreme end of what I'd be able to watch.
mmm...coffee. Longbottom has a window into their warehouse so you can see the thousands of pounds os beans.

last day in Seattle and it's snowing...good thing I'm not doing much but going to sessions, getting a bite to eat and catching the train to Portland.

Tea and crumpets for Sheila! But they have decaf coffee for me, too (this is Seattle, after all).
