Will I Melt.... ?

[inbhirnis]

I'm SO ready for a little break from the rat race tomorrow, when I'll be flying up to Seattle, the "Emerald City" for a long weekend. It will be fun to see a bunch of LJ friends, such as bear_left, shirtlifterbear, wrascalbc, and quirkstreet, to name a few. First up will be a BSG-athon on Friday night at a friend of shirtlifterbear's place (sadly, my hotel doesn't have SciFi), then, I imagine there will some toursity things to be done in downtown Seattle, and a trip out to Snoqualmie Falls. No doubt there will be other things on the agenda

But - it looks like Seattle will live up to its reputation of being, shall we say, a little 'moist' - oh, well. But, it's going to be hard to leave our lovely San Diego weather:

There -


In other news, yesterday I took my staff to lunch at the lovely Bertrand at Mr. A's, which has beautiful views of downtown San Diego as well as terrific food and service. One of my staff is about a week away from giving birth, so this was a great way to celebrate.

Here's my dessert - I was a bad boy...

Mmmmmmm...desserts look tastey! Have fun in the ever-gray state and say "hey" to wrascalbc!

It was a lovely, long lunch. Wasn't much use for the rest of the afternoon!

Yummy looking pudding!

Being 10 years younger than you and European means I don't have any frame of reference for those temperatures!

61f equals 16c, with 51f being about 10.5c

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Oh, you young whippersnapper!

Does this help?

Thats better! Heheh - its warmer in the UK than Seattle :)

[joebehrsandiego.livejournal.com]

What is it - a selection of mini- (or maybe not-so-mini) cheesecakes? :>)

Give my best to everyone!

They were 'dark, white and milk chocolate mousse bars' (http://www.bertrandatmisteras.com/menus/dessert.htm) Yum! Not too big, but rich.

Global warming Hey!

You're going to be warmer than San Diego for a few days - that's just not right! ;-)

The part of the U.S. from Colorado Springs north/northeast to Rapid City is proof that climate change is underway. Perhaps the combination of altitude and distance from an ocean "helps", but whatever the cause summers are noticeably hotter.

When I was a kid in Rapid and Denver in the '60s and '70s, highs above 90F happened mostly in August and early September. Now, they can and do happen in Denver starting in late May, with long stretches in late June through mid-September. Rapid City is a bit cooler but not much.

Geoff, I don'r know what your experience has been but this was a common conversation topic among long-timers when I lived in Denver.

I find that most of my Seattle friends and family don't pay any attention to the weather forecasts--they're just suggestions. That climate is so finicky and unpredictable.

Give bear_left a hug from me!

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

The weather sounds not too different from my homeland.

Re bear_left: if you insist.... ;-)

[danlmarmot.livejournal.com]

You should go see the Kirk chair at the Science Fiction museum when you're in town!

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Ooh - that sounds like something to do on a rainy day - i.e. every day I'll be there... :-)

finfinfin and I took turns sitting in Kirk's chair when it landed in Balboa Park.. (http://inbhirnis.livejournal.com/84035.html)

[wrascalbc.livejournal.com]

I think you'll survive the change in climate. Just don't dress with any absorbent materials, lol!

I've been to Snoqualmie Falls. It's.....LOUD!!!

And of course you gotta go to the SciFi Museum. And they got the Robot from Lost in Space.

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

You're going to be in town tonight, right?

You should contact shirtlifterbear for details of where we're going for the BSG-athon...

[wrascalbc.livejournal.com]

We've been trading messages all week! Got the address, gurgled same, even saw the street view. If I get lost there will be no excuse. Safe trip!

PS, hope you like the goodies I'm bringing.

:o)

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

I'm sure your goodies will be delish... :-)

I don't trust my Apple weather widget. Yesterday, according to the widget, it was supposed to be 73 and rainy......yet it was sunny all day, and 59 degrees at its warmest.

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

I have to say I thought 61F for San Diego yesterday seemed wrong - it felt warmer than that...

[nzguy1.livejournal.com]

Who gives a fiddlers f@*k what the weather is when there are such GORGEOUS desserts to feast on? Have a great trip and enjoy the break.

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Desserts to feast on?

Are you talking about the LJ boys I'll be meeting up with...? ;-)

[tilia-tomentosa.livejournal.com]

Now THIS is my idea of "a bad boy". ;)

[wrascalbc.livejournal.com]

I tell ya...bad boys are everywhere!!!

[tilia-tomentosa.livejournal.com]

;)

[nzguy1.livejournal.com]

LOL. I'm sure thelj boys will be the main course!

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

--and they were delicious! ;-)

[capthunter.livejournal.com]

Naughty Roy. :)

[cuboz.livejournal.com]

Oh sir, it's only WAFER thin! :-)

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Just like my waistline... :-)

I haven't eaten since 1973.
