Eighty-one


Eighty-one is not wonderful, but at least I'm still functioning. :-) 

Here I am enjoying my free birthday Starbucks latte, while on my way to Whidbey Island for the day, to spend time with Jill and Irene, who are there for the week.

 The weather is sunny and mild today, unlike yesterday, which was 95 and HOT. Since I had agreed some weeks ago to go with Tom to the Sounders game, I honored my commitment despite the heat. The light rail trains are air conditioned. That helped. The lounge area of the Club section of the stadium, adjacent to where we have seats, is also air conditioned. The stadium seats are not, but they are out of the sun. It was sticky, but quite tolerable. The game ended in a tie.



We came home in the lingering sunset, much more comfortable with the heat of the sun diminished. 

I'm going to check in with Facebook for birthday messages, and then get outside to check in on Jill and Irene, who have gone for a beach walk. Jill and Tom have finished repairing the gas grill, so I think dinner plans will move forward. 

I'm not in charge of anything. It's my birthday. :-)
