Lola and I are on the Edmonds-Kingston ferry right now, headed to the peninsula. Lola to a new life in a home where roosters are welcome, and me to a 3 day work retreat at the Port Ludlow Resort. I’m stealing a moment as I can’t get online to check work emails and so instead […]

We’re not subscribers to the Sunday Seattle Times, so I missed the fact that this week’s edition of their Sunday magazine included a feature on local farmers and eating locally. Thanks to JC Costello’s post on the Ethicurean yesterday I’ve now been alerted and had a chance to read it in it’s entirety.
Wow! After the let down […]
