Täglich Wiederkehrendes Abenteuer

The Space Needle was neat.  Yes, we took pictures, mostly because there’s not much else to do up there.  They do have some binoculars on posts and you can buy snacks.  And there are some maps you can manipulate.  One thing that I thought was particularly neat was a thing that showed the area around […]

Last Sunday, we went to the Space Needle, then to the Aquarium, then to the Space Needle again.  The aquarium wasn’t very exciting.  We didn’t take any pictures there either.  Part of the reason I think was that it was very busy and Will doesn’t like crowded areas, so we just didn’t feel like stopping […]

Last Saturday we went to Woodland Park Zoo.  Unfortunately, we didn’t take any pictures there, which is kind of unusual for us.  I’m not sure why we didn’t take any pictures.  I’m consoling myself with the thought that most of our dear readers have been to a zoo, so they don’t need pictures of one.  […]

The day after our trip to the Pacific Science Center and harbor cruise, we headed to the Experience Music Project or EMP.  The building itself is interesting; Forbes magazine considers it one of the 10 ugliest buildings.  We didn’t get a picture of the outside, but Wikipedia has one. They have a lot of music […]

We did some touristy stuff around here last weekend.  We have CityPasses that let us do all the cool stuff for a discount, but we have to do it all within nine days.  First, we went to the Pacific Science Center, which is a bit like the Science Museum in St. Paul.  We saw an […]

The Fourth of July must be blogged!  For some reason, I thought we had already blogged about this, so it’s going up pretty late.  Anyway, so our plan was to go to Gasworks Park for the Fremont Family Fourth of July.  There was supposed to be live music and food and such, and it was […]

So, I’m here.  I got in on Monday night.  Will picked me up and we had some food, watched TV, and went to bed.  Will went to work the next day.  I met him at his office and we went to Jimmy John’s for lunch.  After lunch, I wandered around downtown.  I went to Whole […]

Kari had a baby about two weeks ago.  They named him Emmett Gene Olson.  I got to go into the OR with her.  She originally had it scheduled for December 2nd, but baby wouldn’t wait.  So I drove up from Mankato at short notice and made it with a bit of time to spare.  The […]

So it’s been a while.  School is going well.  The kids are kind of squirrelly, but there all pretty good kids and they’re interested in learning German, which is important.  I like the school and the other teachers.  It’s sad that it’s only temporary; frankly, I hope the old German teacher doesn’t come back. Unfortunately, […]

So, there has been about 3 weeks of school now. It’s gone by really fast. It’s alright; there are a few challenges, but that’s to be expected. For the most part, they are pretty motivated and interested in German. The other teachers are great. Everyone is ridiculously nice and helpful. The guy I’m replacing went […]
