I went in briefly to meet Nick Stellino who had just made a presentation on the terrace above. The venue was full of vendors and there was live music playing on the stage. The people here were a lot drier than we folks outside with rain pouring all over the place!

- A new sunflower blooming
- Giving my 1111th cheer away
- The delight Uma gets when she chews a bone
- A good talk with A
- Italian cinema
eleven:eleven
I’m adopting this kind of cheer goals with special numbers in them, instead of the boring 1000, 2000, etc.
And I particularly like this one because it’s my birthday :)
Totally randomly
I had to count backwards since I was cheering away and didn’t notice the moment I gave it. Cheer 1111 went to NYCinephile’s grateful entry A Retained Position, Unfounded Concern, Love & Attention.

Pointillism Peace
On Airport Way (in an industrial zone in Seattle, out of the beaten path), a linked fence surrounds a bus depot. An eyesore as such could be deliberately ignored; if it had a wall, it might even have some graffiti on it.
Still, some very talented artist (or artists) decided to give this fence a twist with a very imaginative idea: inserting white “dots” in the holes of the fence and producing an image, like pointillism artists did in the 1800s —or like pixels produce images in our screens today.
We were driving by, and I could just catch two images of the entire fence (about four or five in total). Yet both images clearly depict what this art is about: Peace —and how serendipitous that just the past week we were Celebrating Peace Day :)

- Beautiful and impressive architecture (e.g., the 3-year-old Seattle Public Library – Beacon Hill Branch)
- Reprints and scans of old photos
- Advancing more in our soon-to-open business
- Autumn colors starting to show
- A new-used mouse to replace my older one that “suffered” a double-clicking glitch that I could never fix nor spray away
