August 18

In short: teaching at Bastyr University, where one of my fellow adjunct faculty members, Richard Robohm, graduated from Tulsa Edison High School a year before I did (Richard now teaches botany); the Clancy Family, and the Fun House, on Orcas Island; the hospitable ministrations of John Pilskog & Sally Rose Dolak, in Seattle; a further enjoyable and educational encounter with the affably distinguished Raoul Tollmann; the sunlight of a Northwest summer.
