Matthews Beach (Lake Washington)

Friday, May 16, 2008




The big boys and I did a 10-mile bike ride on the Burke-Gilman Trail. The weather was great, so the trail was pretty crowded with lots of happy bikers. The best parts of the trip were stopping for smoothies down by the UW, and playing at the playground at Matthews Beach.

Earth Day Concert

The second grade invited us to an Earth Day concert back in March -- okay, so Earth Day wasn't for another month, but as they sang to us, "Earth Day should be every day!"

Anyway, it was about as godawful as one might expect, I'm sorry to say. And as you can tell from the second picture, Michael was furious. He insisted that he should not have to wear a white shirt and that he'd be the only one in one, even though history says otherwise. And look, the evidence is against him and he's still self-righteous!

One of the songs was a scolding, hectoring sort of song -- turn out the lights, turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth, weatherstripping can help you save on your electric bill. Weatherstripping. Do seven-year-olds even know what that is?
