This blog is my retirement project. The content is a collection of things I wrote long ago, going back to 2010, plus posts about current interests, such as the quality of urban life, seen through the lens of my West Seattle neighborhood.  ​

​

I've lived in West Seattle for 30+ years, most of that time at Alki Beach. Growing up, I lived near San Francisco and later in the foothills of the Sierras - I've always been drawn to mountains and salt water. West Seattle offers the best of both worlds. I've worked for West Seattle companies, started a couple of businesses here myself, volunteered in various ways, sung in community choir, and made friends. West Seattle is home.
