Saturday Afternoon In Seattle, With Richard, December 23, 2000
Richard (my workmate) and his trusty sidekick, Tugger... at Ridgewood-G
(Microsoft) in Bellevue...
Richard heads-up the Capital Hill Homeless Project. We
went over to the Capital Hill District to see some of his fellows.
We parked at Dick's Drive-In then walked to Reservoir Park to see
Richard's friend Bruce...
At Bruce's van... Bruce lives in his van...
After visiting with Bruce and the fellows Richard took the ferry up to
Port Townsend for Christmas. I drove down the hill to Lake Union...
I then drove to the top of Queen Anne's Hill...
And now... I must prepare for a journey, for tomorrow morning,
early, I'll be flying out of Seattle to North Carolina to be with family
and friends for Christmas. I've grown fond of the
City By The Sound, but it's not "home." I'm thinking of
all those old bluegrass and country songs about going back home, back to the SouthLand... that's where I'm headed... back to Dixieland...
