You mentioned Grunge starting in Minnesota but then Wiki said it began in Seattle. So you're way more on top of this grunge thing than I am. Weather was really good the last couple of days. Cold but bright and sunny. <strong>Jill:</strong> I run into a few of my high school classmates but that's because I've lived in the same place all my life. I've made my close friends in college and through work. High school...it was a whole other life. A whole different me.

Fran I probably have the most contact with because myspace is so easy. It's probably a little more often than the once a year Christmas card thing, if I did Christmas cards (Which I don't - I gave up a long time ago after figuring out it only caused me grief). I keep in touch with a few friends from college, but I quit so many colleges so many times before graduating I was bound to befriend at least someone worth hanging on to! :-) :-) :-) (Totally kidding - there are actually more of my college AND high school friends I wish I had worked harder at staying in touch with...)

They were the taproot from which the famous bands evolved. It was still a Minnesota thing first, but if you mention that in Seattle they might get defensive. I was only there once. I did the usual touristy stuff. With the whole suicide thing going on, it sure must be tough to be a weatherman there. "Well, folks, hope you're feeling okay. Tomorrow's weather, um, tomorrow... let's just go to sports." If you want to be hip (and I already pointed out how hip you are) about grunge, talk about the band Green River.

Sunny (if a bit cold) and the leaves have turned color. The Space Needle is quite a sight and the place seems like a walking town (see plenty of bus stops) which is a good sign, too. I rarely get bad Thai food. I didn't have high expectations just regular ones based on my prior experiences. This place was a bit of a hustle - the waiters came around constantly and that peanut sauce was really-really thick. I just had lunch at another Thai place and it was delicious and maybe just a dollar more than the other place. <strong>UT</strong>: You probably would like Seattle. Like I mentioned to Derek, it seems like a walking town (buses) and there's Puget Sound and mountains and right now, fall color. It has a college town vibe to it at least where I'm staying. So far lots of different foods. There is "plently" to enjoy around Seattle! ;-) I was tired last night and wimpy drippy type rain just added to my low energy levels! Today is brisk and there's a lot of brightness. MUCH better. Derek: Well, Seattle is lovely now. Sunny (if a bit cold) and the leaves have turned color.
