They'll never believe this back in Beijing . . . Jeff Zhang photo
Our friends Jeff and Tong Tong are in the process of moving to Seattle from Beijing, China. We figured they should get a taste of small town Washington and took them on a car-and-ferry trip to Port Townsend where we drank strong espresso drinks, ate pastry, walked the beach, and saw Fort Worden. Along the way we convinced John Deer and family to pose for some pictures in a local backyard while they took a break from devouring the garden. Wait until they see the tame marmots and foxes at Mt. Rainier . . .

Hiking and skinning to just under Anvil Rock on Mt. Rainier's south side yesterday marked another mild milestone in my ski career - nine
years of skiing every month in the calendar year. I'm thankful to be healthy, fit and crazy enough to be able to pursue a hobby like sliding on snow through every season, and fortunate
to live where I do in the Pacific Northwest. Hopefully it's a portent of more turns to come.
