Thanksgiving dinner hostess, we love the idea of dining with friends and neighbors for this excellent, friendly, feasting holiday.
Understanding family members, we are so glad to not only get to stay put during these bad travel days, but to know that Thanksgiving II, the Redining, Hannukah version, will take place soon.
Those people downtown who keep me working, not only do you make it possible for me to do things like eat and pay my bills, but I genuinely enjoy the work I get to do with you, even when it’s difficult.
The good people of Seattle Ukulele for bringing music to my life.
Husband, my steel cut oats every morning mean I start the day with a good breakfast. All our computers work, the network is never down, and the hummingbird is fed even on frozen days. And for so many other things.
Nerd’s Eye View readers and supporters, you are still here after, good lord, really? Ten years? You’re crazy. And awesome. I adore you. You make so many things possible.
The Passports with Purpose crew, working with you gives me the chance to do something incredibly meaningful. Debbie, Beth, Michelle, Meg, because of you, the world is a better place in absolutely real ways.
That man in Greece who let us sleep in is back room when we were stuck in a town with no place to stay, the Dutch women on the train who shared their lunch, the Lummi guy who made me laugh about salmon, the bad ass guys on the beach at Dixie Maru on Moloka’i, the old men who gave me roses at the Warsaw ghetto memorial, the Aboriginal auntie who took my hand at the gallery coop in the Australian outback, the crazy driver who piled us in the back of his tiny convertible in the Sinai desert, the man in front of me on the bus to Srinagar who shared his stories, those wacky ladies in the matching hats at Yellowstone, the enormous African American man in the deli in NYC who said “Girl, what are you doing all the way out there in Seattle?” as though that deli was my home and where I belonged … all those people who made me smile and feel welcome on my travels around the world… Thank you.
