Travel- it ain't that easy

A few friends have suggested that I write a travel blog of my adventures in Business Travel.. I thought.. it can't be that exciting.. and here I am .. yeah I guess be careful what you wish for because the universe will smack you upside the head and call you Shirley. Today was my first day traveling to Baton Rouge for work. Things so far have not gone to plan. I had to leave home a few hours early, because I had a series of conference calls that would cross over that 2 hour before flight mark, and I knew I had to get through security, without being in the middle of a conference call. So, after call 1 ended, I had 10 mins to get through security and hop on call #2. When I went through the handy new body scanners, the chick at TSA had me drop my ID in the box with my shoes and plastic bags of liquids. After they scanned my hands and my coffee cup for explosives, I was free to head off to call # 2. I had call #2 and then once that was over, I had 15 mins to hop on call #3, I decid...

Welcome to Seattle

Seattle is a diverse and beautiful city that has a lot to offer in a small package.  It is not a large city, if you want you can easily walk from Pioneer Square to Seattle Center  (the length of the downtown core) in a little over an hour.

I had never purchased original art like this before and it was pretty modern looking so of course I was a bit nervous. But I loved the subject of the stencils, and I loved the texture of the pieces.  Cody had give me a slip of paper that had the instructions that the stencils represent - How to tie a Windsor knot. Figure 9-46. Tying a Windsor knot. Start with the wide end on the right side about 12 inches longer than the narrow end.  Make a loop then bring the wide end around and behind as shown. Pass the wide end over to the back, then bring it across the front, then under again. Finish by slipping the side end through the loop in front. Tighten the knot and shape carefully. I went to Seattle Custom Framing to ask about the best way to frame the instructions to go with the rest of the piece.  They had an awesome idea, (as usual) so one 1942 Report font and Colorpak...
