Consultation in rain city

 Breaking News!  They put a space needle in northwest Tucson.  And there's standing water on the street . . . in what is called . . . puddles, I think. 

No, that's not right.  We're in Seattle figuring out the plan for the next four months.  I could tell you all about riding light rail, the SLUT, and walking from Eastlake to SCCA House.  Today we took a tour of the Pete Gross house, which is kinda like a Ronald McDonald house for adults.  Actually, there are kids there, even a school.  So perhaps it is better described as a ronald mcdonald house without fries cooked in beef tallow.  Or perhaps a ronald mcdonald house with only single patty burgers.  Or perhaps those are just really bad comparisons that have little humor or any other redeeming value.

For those of you who haven't been shopping for cancer care lately, SCCA is the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, which is the treatment arm of Fred Hutchinson.  SCCA House is temporary living quarters.  Pete Gross House has longer term temporary living quarters.

Today we are staying at SCCA House.  We will probably be staying at Pete Gross House soon,  for fourth months.  All will be revealed, we are told, tomorrow at our consultation meeting at SCCA. 

In the meantime we stay here near Eastlake and visit with family and friends.  Which, truthfully, isn't such a bad place to be forced to hang out. 

Full disclosure on the rain.  It was raining when we left Arizona for the first time in a month or more.  It hasn't rained here since we arrived.  But that doesn't mean my eyes are too big for my head . . .
