I met a glass blower today on Capitol Hill. I didn’t know that could be your living these days. Apparently, Seattle has the second most glass blowing studios in the world after Murano in Venice, Italy.

Stop running around and suddenly then you have to stand still. Amazing how things work out that way. Stuck at Woodrow’s Washateria another afternoon, a man started talking to me, folding his bright red boxer briefs, his large collection of joke t-shirts, telling me about how he’s “figuring out his shit, you know? … Like [...]
