Jack and I are back from a week in Seattle. Thanksgiving at Salty's was a grand experience and while others in our group were more glutinous than I, I certainly admit to going away with a fuller stomach than that that follows a normal meal. The ballet, The Nutcracker, was excellent (and Jack did not fall asleep) and dinner after at the Icon Grill was a delightful experience. Jack's payment for coming to the ballet with us was a trip out to the Bowing Museum of Flight.
Now . . . on to Kat.
So what are the odds?
On Wednesday last, my sister and Jack and I were waiting for the shuttle to our hotel on the lower level of Pacific Place, when Jack said to me, "Isn't that that author from RAM walking over there?" I turned and LO AND BEHOLD, it was indeed Kat. I jumped up and ran after her calling her name as I went. We met, had a nice chat, and then Jack and I and my sister had to get back as our shuttle was momentarily expected.

Even I do that. Easier to just call it the greatest aerospace company in the world. :) I work right across the street from the Museum of Flight. I don't get over there as often as I should. (If you come out here again, take Jack on a visit to Paul Allen's museum up in Everett or Arlington...anyway, lots of old planes.)
Sounds like you had a great time.

This was our second Thanksgiving in Seattle. Last year the days were bright and sunny. This year the weather was definitely damper and gloomier. After visiting the Burke Museum late Sunday morning and early afternoon, we drove over to Carkeek Park and walked on the beach. The fog was so thick you could only see a few yards out, but we enjoyed the walk anyway. Some of our fog pictures turned out nicely. It was also nasty the day we visited the Museum of Flight. That did not keep us indoors at the museum. We all wanted to visit the Concorde and JFK's Air Force One.
Thank goodness the day we took the ferry to Bainbridge Island was a sunnier day.
The pizza at Madame K's was some of the best ever . . . there was rosemary in the crust which gave it such a good flavor. However, we skipped Madame's K's famous Chocolate Chip Orgasm dessert.
Just had an IM with Kat* and she's unable to access RAM (and Usenet in general, natch) because of the bad folk at Comcast, hasn't got the time to find a new subscription to get back here, but she wants everyone to know, and I quote -
"I do love the RAMs, though. Don't want them to think I don't"
* on account of winning a wolfy bauble and a copy pf Wolfsbane & Mistletoe in her '10 Reasons Werewolves Are Better Than...' contest. I'd whoop and cry 'go me!' if I wasn't English so instead I'll just suggest you go to http://katrich.wordpress.com/

Because comcast dropped newsgroups? Hmm. if that's the case, I'll have to email her about motzarella.org...
(missing Kat, and I'm not on LJ, so I don't see her there, either) --

I've appreciated motzarella--I can post even when away from home--not something I can do with my charter.net account. So I can read and post to newsgroups now, but only download emails, not mail out. kat >^.^<

I did enjoy Salty's on Alki (my favorite restaurants are usually on water), but when it came to my favorite restaurant on this trip- it was The Icon Grill in downtown Seattle.

The Museum of Flight does not belong to the Boeing company and has no connection with the company at all, except that Boeing makes occasional donations. This is a common misconception, which greatly affects the donations to the Museum.
The most interesting display at the Museum of Flight, to me, is the A-11 Blackbird modified into the M-12 "mother ship" for launching the Mach-3 D-12 recce drones. There were two aircraft so modified. The other one was lost when one of the drones hit the airplane, removing one of the vertical stabilizers. The crew ejected safely, but the backseater was drowned before he was rescued.
The Museum graciously allowed Dryden to remove the strongback installed in the M-12 to install in our SR-71 for the LASRE, Linear AeroSpike Research Experiment, which was a half-model of a lifting body with an aerospike engine. We provided a replacement that allowed them to keep the D-12 mounted atop the Blackbird in return.
And you spelled "gluttonous" quite wrongly, unless your friends are very unusual.
