#UW cherry blossoms

[thedaveandkimmershow]

If I had to answer the question What did you guys do in March? I'd probably say It was a pretty chill month. Can't really think specifically of anything we did.

What I remember, of course, are our daily routines. My work in post-production across several companies, Kimmer's work that manifests in the relentless task of charting and also her doctoral program that manifests through writing, research, presentations, tests, class discussions and, of course, class.

I think of all that as our sort of baseline of activity atop which all kinds of other things happen.

So.

If I'm wondering what we did in any given month, for sure those threads pop up first.

A major reason last month's a bit opaque to me is that we spent the first six days of April in southern California camping above the beach with family. It's a yearly tradition and there's a lot of experience happening every day which makes for big new memories crowding out all the other ones in March.

There are ways I naturally leave breadcrumbs, though. And in tracking them back to the beginning of March, I realize that March got underway in the shadow of a life celebration for a friend and mentor who died at the end of November last year.

Leaving a helluva long shadow.

During the celebration, many many many many stories were told which is my favorite thing. In fact, it was pretty much all stories about our friend who's no longer with us which, as I think about it, is a wonderful way to both celebrate and to grieve.

One of the loveliest features of our family life is Linzy's music career. Because whenever there's a gig, life feels normal.

Normal?

Well, once upon a time there were no live gigs. For a coupla years at least.

So yeah. Live gigs feel normal.

In March, we went to Tim's Tavern in Burien to see a friend of Linzy's, Young-Chhaylee, whose band performed that night. Linzy's boyfriend, Reuben, plays keys for that band. No lightweight midi keyboard for Reuben, though. He's got a classic, old-school keyboard/cabinet set up.

What does that mean?

It means it's heavy. As in heavy heavy. And tall. He's gotta muscle this thing wherever he goes with it.

Cool as hell, though. And he's a master on those keys.

Also playing in March, The Little Lies had a gig at The Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma. A sold-out show opening for Queen Mother, the local Queen Tribute band, a good time was had by all at this all-ages event, including the little girls down front who were gobsmacked by all the things Linzy was doing on stage, like vocals, keys, and acoustic guitars.

Interesting takeaway from the gig: everyone mentions the hidden room. I'm guessing the building existed during prohibition so there's an actual hidden bar that's accessed through a nondescript wood panel that you have to already know opens into a hidden corridor.

Linzy also had a solo gig at Off Main in downtown Edmonds where we hung out at a nearby table with Reuben for dinner and conversation whist Linzy demonstrated an absolute command of mom 'n dad's favorite hits of the seventies and eighties.

🤯☺️👍

Toward the end of the month, as predicted by people who keep track of such things, the cherry blossoms in the Quad at my alma mater, the University of Washington, bloomed into pink and white gloriousness whilst hordes of students, moms and dads with children in tow, pro-photographers, and brides posing for that most perfect wedding photograph under a pink and white canopy under a mid-morning sun in full wedding gown royalness.

It's a big deal, pretty much.

Quick pivot here, I'm not sure when this happened. Early February, I think, is when we brought on board a second cat by the name of Quarter. A friend of ours was gonna be away for a while and needed someone to care for him. So yeah.

Two cats.

The cats each have a home base. For Dinker, that's our bedroom. For Quarter, that's the family room on the opposite end of the house.

When Quarter came to us, he kept to himself mostly under the couch in the family room, making temporary appearances for food... then retreating to his safe place. 

After a while, he grew comfortable in a nearby padded chair on a red blanket cuddled up to a large Boo doll (the little girl from Monsters Inc.). Soon as he did that, he also became comfortable exploring the dining room... then the living room...  then all the way down to the other end of the house from his: our bedroom.

By 'n by... 'n by 'n by... he starts jumping up short heights onto surfaces throughout the house: the arm of the living room couch. One of the dining room chairs and then, of course, the dining room table itself.

Not cool.

He jumped up onto the day bed in Kimmer's office and then, of course, our bed.

Boundaries much?

As well, there are definitely behaviors he's picking up about how to be a cat from Dinker. Like meowing loudly when I'm dishing up meals. Which makes no sense 'cause I'm already dishing up their meals. Like chasing the little red dot that I make run across the floor. At first Quarter would just watch it. But after observing Dinker go after it with a predator's wrath, he started doing that, too.

And then the at night thing.

You see at night we're in bed, reading, talking, listening to something, watching something... and Dinker lays on the bed with us. Winding his own self down.

So.

If that's what cats do, Quarter observed, then I've gotta be up there, too.

So yeah.

Two cats laying around on our bed at the end of the night.

It's still Dinker's home base, though, so when it's time to sleep, I carry Quarter back to the chair in his home base which is where he sleeps the whole night through. 😊

Quick status report on Cheeky & Dry, the non-alcoholic product center of the universe: we managed to stop in the same day each week in the evening after work. The only days we missed were two days we were on the road.

Lovely, lovely drinks, by the way.

Now, we left for our traditional yearly vacation with family at Crystal Cove in California over by Laguna Beach on the 31st. Easter. The last day of March this time around. And, because our first flight was scheduled for departure super early in the morning, Kimmer booked us into a hotel near South Center, about ten minutes down the hill from the airport. So we spent Saturday the 30th packing all day then leaving for the hotel.

And the night before all that gettin' outta town activity?

We spent the evening with dear friends and their children. And then when the kids went to bed, it got to be 100% adults hanging out time. It wound up, as you might suspect, an evening filled with everything including playing with beads and string on the floor as well as Adult Talk around the table. A lovely evening including dinner and drinks.

In a way, that felt like the last day of March. Whereas Saturday with all its travel arrangements and Sunday with its actual travel feel like they're attached to the beginning of April.

So there it is. March!

Now. Onward through April.

😊

Sev, pls forgive the random ask but recently i was thinking about Winnie 👀🖤

By the time Al is with Dagger and DD, where is Winnie ? What does she think about her daughter's journey?

I know i have more questions but i'll keep it short for today akfjsjjfj

!!! oh this makes me happy!! i love her!!!!!

howerver,

unfortunately

well

she dies

their clan is attacked by raffen and a lot of the members do not make it. al survives because she wasn't at camp when it happened (she had gotten into an argument with winnie beforehand and left for some alone time ;A;) then comes back to the Horrors(TM). my poor baby angel gorl.....a big part of the reason she seeks out dagger is because she really has nothing left. winnie had tried to shelter her from who dagger was because she never wanted her to have to carry the burden of his crimes and notoriety. the only other person who knew she's dagger's daugther is an old circus friend, ex-maelstrom, who also happens to be losing his marbles. so he starts to talk about dagger to al more and more, and she starts to put it together that he's her father. thus she goes to find him!!

but al and winnie were very close. they had a tight-knit Best Friends kind of relationship, though not without their own tension. winnie really wanted al to be a dancer like she was, and al wanted to make her happy, but she hated it. and she's not good at it. and she has a lot of fear/anxiety about performing which often caused a lot of conflict between them. but winnie is the type of person who would be so proud of al for doing anything and always believed in her and championed her to others.

and likewise, winnie always saw the Good that was left in dagger (a trait al inherited from her) despite the Atrocities. she felt a lot of resentment and betrayal toward him of course, but she wouldn't doubt his capacity to change/love his own family. she might be...hesitant about al being with him, but she wouldn't be afraid. she knows he'd do anything to keep her safe and had in fact always kept him as a fall back plan if things got dangerous for them :')

but she would be so proud of al for being brave and growing so much and maintaining her love and whimsy despite the world being mean!!!

[doodledstars]

Been incredibly busy working on multiple projects this month, but I finally had time to go out and do personal art at UW with the cherry blossoms blooming! ^^

Hopefully this month I can squeeze in personal work and comic updates!

[eughpeople]

Went on a date with a guy

- Bought them boba

-Walked around uw while they took photos (peak cherry blossom season)

-Sat and chatted

He's pretty cute but like 80% of his responses to my questions were "I don't know" or "I'm fine with whatever" so I ended up having to carry the conversation cause he asked like no questions and really did not engage with anything I asked. We have decided on leaving off as possibly friends since he's new to Seattle. Might still smash though.

Date rating: B-

Realized I’d never posted up this photo of the cherry blossoms over at UW- whoops!

[thedaveandkimmershow]

Once again, if I had to remember what we did last month... I'd be hard-pressed to come up with anything.

Definitely it was a packed month of work at the UW for me. It was the relentless continuation of Kimmer's doctoral work (lectures, discussions, reading, research, papers, tests).

Beyond that?

Hmmmmm. 🤨🤔

I looked through the photos I snapped in June and learned there was (some) life beyond work and school. For example, Linzy's work.

June actually kicked into gear on the backs of two Linzy gigs at the end of May (work, of course, just not ours). A week later found her at another one of her winery gigs in Woodinville: Tsillan Cellars where, for the first time in a while, Kimmer was able to join us for a lovely evening out. We were also joined by a dear friend from a lifetime ago with whom we got the chance to catch up and marvel at how far they've come in this life. A survivor to the core, there's a lot by which to be impressed. And I enjoy being impressed by other human beings in this specific way.

I really really do.

The music was fabulous, by the way. 😉☺️❤️

June was the month during which we began to spend bits of our mornings on our bedroom porch.

It's not a porch, really. It's the wooden cover of the access to our home's crawl space. Wide enough to accommodate both of us sitting there sipping morning lattes... or one of us sitting there studying and writing. Our bedroom's french doors open right onto it and it's amazing how lovely it is to sit under the morning sun, feeling a breeze when there is one, and listening to the birds and other sounds of the neighborhood waking up.

Since I spent so much time on campus last month at the University of Washington, I was similarly taken by the beauty of the Quad and it's famous cherry blossom trees in bloom (featuring thousands of visitors, families, brides, and graduates, it seemed). Also, the walk along the south end of Denny Hall, the lawn and this huuuuuge tree... and then the walk up Memorial Way Northeast, lined with trees on both sides of the street that are so tall and lean enough toward each other so as to almost create a living tunnel illuminated by sunshine.

June was also the occasion of our honorary granddaughter's birthday in which she turns a whooping three years old. We're celebrating early so we can have the whole family over for a pre-party without the experience being overwhelming.

During the occasion, we managed an indoor scavenger hunt, both kids enjoying our exercise equipment (one of them calls "cars"), a VHS tape got cooked in our microwave oven, great birthday partying at the party table blowing noisemakers happened as well as fun present opening and present using, a magnificent dinner contributed by both families including swedish meatballs and fresh baked sourdough bread, and then dessert dessert dessert (of course) and then somewhere in there...

Adult conversation.

And oh yeah. We sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

After our family festivities, Kimmer and the kids went out back for an expedition.

Expedition?

Yeah.

Because due to an unfortunate event the day before, we weren't able to trim the yard as we intended. Well, not exactly trim... but hack away 'cause it had been a while since our last "trim". Consequently, our backyard grass and a stadium crowd of daffodils had gotten quite tall. Hence my reference to "expedition".

It was adorable to watch Kimmer with kids in tow wading through the grass and dandelions together. ☺️

Update on our new cat, Quarter, who we've had since the end of January if not the start of February:

He's adjusted just fine, thank you very much. He went through the hidey hole phase where he wasn't sure about us. He went through his student phase where he learned to do what our other cat, Dinker, would do like meowing for food when I'm already scooping it up, like poaching the other cat's food when they finished their own, like standing by the front door and staring at us to go outside even though he's an indoor cat.

And so on.

Most of Quarter's time here's been spent learning from Dinker. And most of Dinker's time has been spent intentionally ignoring Quarter.

At this point, though, Quarter's shed his student/house guest vibe. He now acts like he lives here. Like he owns the place. He doesn't finish his food first before going after Dinker's. He goes after Dinker's food while I'm scooping it into Dinker's bowl. He isn't starved for attention from Dinker like he used to be. Now, he sometimes ignores Dinker too at which point (if it's nighttime) Dinker'll instigate a "fight" and they'll both have at it, claws in holsters. And Quarter's finally shed that last ounce of politeness and caution he possessed. If he wants to sit in Kimmer's lap while she's working or studying or taking a test... he will simply and directly place himself there. If I'm at the table writing, he'll jump up and walk through my hand, shove it aside, until we're literally face to face. 

Assertive is the word I'm looking for.

Quarter's become assertive.

So that's where he's at in June.

🤔🤨😐

June was also home to Father's Day which we spent at my parent's place celebrating my dad. Later that same day I'm thinking about growing up with him and what kind of dad he was. I remember making Pinewood Derby cars together (mostly him, though, 'cause he was the one with the serious tools). I remember my dad 'n I taking up ceramics with a guy named Jim at a little shop on Queen Anne. I remember the H.O. scale train set my dad built from scratch downstairs in my childhood home, complete with a mountain, tunnels, landscaping, a town with lighted homes and businesses, and tracks that could be switched from the control panel.

My dad was an electronic technician so all this was well within his wheelhouse.  

And then last I remember building and launching Estes model rockets with him, including the two-stager whose second stage didn't ignite... and the whole thing wound up accordioning into the ground from a thousand feet up.

Good times. 😉😁☺️

As for me, I got a little pre-FD celebrating earlier in the week—first on the Tuesday before when we slipped into our favorite Crest Theater to see "IF", starring Kelly Fleming and Ryan Reynolds, written, produced, and directed by John Krasinski. And yeah.

It was wonderful.

Fun.

Breathtaking.

A live-action Pixar movie with the bit at the end that profoundly moves you. 

Amazing.

The next evening, Kimmer takes me to the Ballard Pizza Company, their Frelard location between Ballard and Fremont after I show up at her chiropractor's after work when her appointment's done.

We arrive for dinner exactly when the sun's out along with a bit of light rain making everything perfectly and wonderfully shiny.

Our favorite thing?

The front of the restaurant is all garage doors so the interior space can become an exterior space just like that. We sat on stools at a table fronting the patio. Close enough to the outside to feel outside yet enough inside that sprinkles of rain fell short of us.

Our most favorite thing though is that we arrived in the midst of Happy Hour.

And then our most Most favorite thing was that all their appetizer servings are humongous. Huge. Wonderfully lots.

We wound up taking about half home with us where it was still just as yummy.

🤯😁👍

Speaking of rain, the final week of June seemed to provide plenty. A bit of reprieve before some legit scorching from July.

As I mentioned earlier, June was a packed month of work at the UW with commencement, the centerpiece of the academic year, taking place at a time when the graduating class had not yet experienced a proper commencement because they all graduated their high schools during the lock-downs when commencements at best were variations on picking up your lunch at the drive-through window. Only with a brief photo-op.

This year in post-production, I caught a lot of the videos scheduled to air during the event along with a number of walk-in projects commissioned by other clients. So it was a total juggle-fest. 

In an interesting plot twist, one of the commencement production staff gave me a tour of all the production sites at Husky Stadium, from each room of our control truck hooked into the stadium's audio, video, and electrical systems, to the student waiting area behind the east end of the field, to the stands adjacent the south side of the commencement stage, and then up to the sixth floor of Husky Stadium where a studio's been set up to accommodate the host segments of the pre-commencement show and the streaming commencement itself.

Next to the set is a bank of windows with quite the wide angle view of the stadium below along with the massive outdoor monitor screen on the east end of the field behind that set of goal posts. It's really quite amazing the brightness we're able to crank out of that screen to create a normal viewing image even on a straight up sunny day. Which is great 'cause that's where the video packages I cut for the show will appear. ☺️

Coupla weeks after commencement (HUUUUUUGE success for UW Video), a big portion of the crew involved in the production are gathered at a looong table set outside under beach umbrellas at Duke's Restaurant, a block back from the shores of Green Lake. The most beautifully sunny day under a lovely shade, we all gotta chance to talk a little shop (okay a LOT), talk family, catch up with those we don't get that much opportunity to see...

And to look toward the future?

The future?

Sure. We're all up to our eyeballs in tech and its relentlessly changing expressions. It's impossible not to discuss that ever-changing arena that embraces both our personal and professional lives.

A lot of us are getting on in age as well... and in that context, talk about the future just comes naturally to us. 

You just can't help but wonder...

What's next?

🤔🤨☺️
