A Quote to Ponder...

There are some people who always seem angry and continuously look for conflict. Walk away; the battle they are fighting isn't with you, it is with themselves.

Phantom

In 2018, we took a trip to New York City and was able to see the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Afterwards, we walked - in a torrential downpour - to a pizza window a few blocks away to have something to eat.

Last night had the pleasure of seeing the Phantom of the Opera at the Paramount in Seattle. Grateful to be able to see it again. The performance last night, however, was well done. And, yes, we did get pizza - this time before the show and there was no rain.

Mount Rainier

Took a trip to Mount Rainier last weekend. The mountain was clear when I left Skagit but the clouds hid the view by the time I was there.  Glad I got there when I did.  The line only took about 45-minutes to get in.  There were a lot of people there.  Light, though, compared to other days given the '3-hour wait from this point' signs.
