Bon Soir from Parie

After 14 hours of flying (9.5 hours just from DFW-CDG) we are in Paris!  Our hotel, Le Hotel Littre is great.  A wonderful little boutique hotel, close to a Metro line.  Exhausted, we went out to Montmartre Walk (as suggested by Rick Steve's).  The weather is just perfect, sunny, but not too hot, I'd say in the high 60's.  Sacre Cour is a beautiful church.  After, we went to the "red light" district.  Lots of sex shops.  It's 1945 and I'm totally beat.  Au revoir!

Root Canal...EEK

I bit the bullet (so to speak) and finally made an appointment to get my root canal procedure done. It had been causing me off and on pain for the past four months. A month ago, the dentist prescribed penicillin to have me body take care of the infection naturally. Well, I guess it worked for a while, but now it was time. Dr. Horton just graduated from UW School of Dentistry. What! A new dentist. Well, he was very good. Gave me anesthesia when ever I could feel the drill going deeper and deeper. ZZZZZZZZZZZ. I survived. Here is the gold cap I had on the tooth.

Harry Potter - finished

Finally finished the last installment of the "Harry Potter" series. Okay, I confess, I actually listened to it on audio CD (in my car). In the beginning, I was kinda bored, especially when H, R and H were "on the move", but boy towards the end, I couldn't get out of my car. I was hooked and glued to my seat. I was almost late for work listening to "he who must not be named" second warning. (I don't want to say his name, don't want Deatheaters knocking at my door!) I really loved the way Ms. Rowlings did the epilogue. Glad to know all is well.

Sounders 1 Railhawks 0

Got the opportunity to see the playoff game between the Seattle Sounders and the Carolina Railhawks. Oh, did I say it was the Alaska Airlines Suite at Qwest Field ? Finally! Who cares if it was soccer. Now I can say I've been to all the "suites" AS owns.


The Sounders won after 90mins of regulation on a penalty kick. Here are some pic (from my cell phone, so quality is not great) Too bad I wasn't watching the Seahawks. : (

Pigs on Parade

Went to downtown Seattle this weekend, of course to shop the Banana sales. Here are a few of the Pigs on Parade.
