Drove down to Portland to visit daughter Josephine and take a second little road trip in this new car. Yeah, new car. But that’s not what this is about. It’s about Josephine’s ‘study’ which is just so peaceful looking I can’t stand it. Including manual typewriter. With paper ready to go, in case you are inspired-upon-arrival!

West Seattle High School is just down the street from me. Their track has always been my go-to place for interval training.
