Welcome

Formerly titled "The Traveling Job Coach" and then "The Traveling Athletic Director," this blog is
for me and my memory because it's not very good.
My memory is not very good. See what I mean?

This blog has also morphed into a place for me to share my thoughts on life and how I see the world.
These thoughts often bubble to the surface during my travels.

I don't concern myself with grammar. This is simply a place for me to record my memories,
thoughts and feelings while I travel.

I started this blog before my trip to Europe July 10-24, 2009. Email me at brosefield@gmail.com
whilst I'm traveling or comment on posts here if you see something that
strikes your fancy.

Yes, I used the words whilst and fancy in the same paragraph.

Top Gun

I made it to Seattle a couple of hours ago.  One guy I talked to yesterday said that Seattle was hilly.  He was wrong.  It's more mountainous in my opinion than anything.  I decided to walk from the train station to the hotel.  .8 miles.  Carrying three bags again walking this distance with the hills here might not have been the best idea.  My bonus was walking past a homeless woman absolutely yelling and berating another woman with pleasantries like, "I'll mace you," only to be followed up by, "I'll cut you.  I don't care.  Stay away from me."  Welcome to Seattle, Brian.  Welcome.  

So after a much needed hour long nap, I've grabbed some food and on the move again.  

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like there is a scene in Top Gun where Maverick tosses Goose's dog tags off the back of an aircraft carrier.   Well, this reminds me of that scene that may or may not exist 

That's the back of the auto deck of the Pullyaup, a ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge island.  $8 ride over, free on the way back.  It's been a smooth ride on a huge ferry.
