On Friday, I got off of work at 4 pm to get our stuff and pick up Cory from work. Cory ended up meeting me at home. Somehow, we got on the road at 5:30. It was wonderful being able to use the carpool lane and swish past the gridlock on I-5. The drive up to Bremerton was the fastest that we have ever driven it (about 3 1/2 hours).
Neil and Debbie
We arrived about 8:30pm to be greeted by the dogs and Neil. Debbie said that she didn’t even hear us come in. After greetings were exchanged, the four of us sat down and chatted about random topics ranging from… Well, neither Cory or I remember what we talked about. I remember the feeling though, very pleasant and comfortable. After dragging our stuff inside at about midnight we went to sleep.
The next three days were VERY relaxing. We did some fun things and I want to be able to share them in individual posts. So, until then please pretend that the suspense is building.
“Movin’ right along in search of good times and good news…
Movin’ right along foot-loose and fancy free.
Gettin’ there is half the fun; come share it with me.
Movin’ right along!
Doog-a-doon, doog-a-doon… “
Last night, I had dinner with Julie who is moving up to Seattle in a few days. Some other friends are also moving someplace more north in the NW. It seems like things usually happen in groups. Anyone else moving any time soon?
“Movin’ right along!
Movin’ right along!
(repeat to fade)”

I was talking to myself as I left work yesterday, “I wish it was Friday, already.” A co-worker over heard me and just laughed. Why do I wish it was Friday already? Well, because Cory and I are wandering up to the Bremerton area to see his Mom & Neil. I was looking for a photo of them but I can’t find one. Anyway, here’s a a photo of Spunky the dog and Tim the invisible cat. Invisible cat…
Well, he’s visible in the photo. He’s like a little Bigfoot. This photo is only proof of his existence. Apart from seeing a flash of Tim out of the corner of your eye.
A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.
- Terry Pratchett, The Truth
On Sunday, Cory and I went to a Reed College student production of The Truth. Amazingly, everything from the book was in the play (at least from what I remember about the plot).
The Truth takes place on Discworld and is about the first newspaper, and the story of two journalists, two dwarves, a talking dog, four mentally unstable bums (one bad smell), two Pulp Fiction style assassins, and an assortment of interestingly shaped vegetables against the backdrop of the creation of investigatory journalism in this crazy world.
Go see it if you ever get a chance, but don’t forget your potato.
I am not sure, if we are exciting enough to be called a cast of characters but it sounded like a good headline. So without much pomp and circumstance, here’s the first introduction…
Emma Bean playing herself.
Her roles in this farce include being the morning alarm clock, window decoration, and boredom alleviator. She is very multi talented and very good at her roles. Ms. Bean was born on April 8th, 2002 in Eureka, CA. Her mother was a single cat who raised Emma and her siblings in a loving family’s homes. Emma agreed to come live with Hydee when she was about 3 months old and quite ready to be out on her own.
On to the next character…
Cory
Hmm… What to say about him? Well, he is completely goofy (including a great sense of humor.) His interested include soccer, playing music, games, juggling, bikes, etc.. They are all over the map. He is a very well rounded individual. His roles in this farce include being a landing pad for Emma, a friend, and all around good guy.
Lastly, your narrator…
Hydee
My role in this scenario is as observer and participant. My duties include feeding Emma, being silly with Cory, and others yet to be assigned.
Well, that is our cast of characters.
Please sit down and enjoy the narration.
