B&O Espresso Seattle - having wonderful time!
Mobloggin’ from the B&O Espresso cafe in the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill district. Where locals go for the best late night java & desserts-to-diet-for. Whiskey bread pudding here is worth doing pennance for. Seattle’s coffee culture probably peaked in the late 90’s say the perky baristas. The culture vulture scene is all but passe, and has been taken over by a more community center and "good first date place-a-la-Friends" type of aroma. Hip fashionistas are at a minimum - comfortable shoes and relaxed waistlines predominate. Thanks be to Caffiena, Goddess of the Dimensionally Oppressed.
The vacation is mostly good, despite whirlwind-tour fatigue and a pulled muscle or two from hiking. OSF’s rendition of Marlowe’s Faustus was delightfully diabolic, Will’s 12th, earnest if frothy, & the state of Ma Rainey’s bottom in Ashland, Oregon was…black indeed. J-Bear and I luxuriate in several hours of backgammon, philosophical dialectic and random meanderings spiced with cappucino, brandy flambeed brie and red grapes, pecan tartlettes, lemonade and cucumber sandwiches.
Further explication anon, for a fine, dark breve and a board of hnefetafl calleth. Avaunt et exeunt all…goodnight!
