This guy landed on the sill outside our window after he spotted Jeffery eating crackers. I tried to feed him a few, but he would just peck them off the sill into oblivian. I finally realized that if I broke them in half first, he could eat them. I fed him until Jeffery complained.

Quit feeding that bird my crackers!

He proceeded to sit there for a few minutes before pecking at the window and then looking pointedly at me. Peck peck peck. Glare from Jeffery. Peck Peck. Glare. Smart bird.

Day two was mostly cold and rainy with a stuffy, snuffly Jeffery. Txori was really good. Tapas are so fun to eat, you get to try a little bit of everything. It’s smaller and more casual than Tango Restaurant, but the COOLEST find was bar that Jeffery read about in Seattle magazine called Bathtub Gin & Co. We knew that it was close to Txori, but this place it totally hidden. You access the entrance from the alley side of the building, and there is no sign accept this small gold plaque in a sea of brick. It’s so easy to miss. I almost expected  a little window to slide open in the door with a ominous brute prompting us for a password.  You are almost afraid to open the door, “Is this the right place?” but oh man…it is, and awesomeness awaits.

We are actually going to be up in Seattle again on Friday to take our friend Les around to show him our groove. We are going to do our usual routine, as I will be lucky enough to be accompanied by two men who love to shop. A major stop, however, will be the Seattle Art Museum where there is a Michelangelo and Calder exhibit. We cannot go to the museum without eating at Taste, of course, so I think all in all it will be a full day. Plus, it’s Black Friday so the city should be buzzing – and that’s always exciting.
