Sleepless in Seattle


John and Josh are living on Mercer Island, which is nice, but has it's major drawbacks because, frankly, it would be nice if our wives were here with us. Josh prepares John some very amazing dinners and has the ability of getting fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables from Pike's Place Market, which is only a short 10 minutes from the apartment. It is really nice that John can go on his long walks on "The Island" (that's what the locals call it), and when her gets back, da da, dinner is ready. It's a little like the Odd Couple, Josh being Felix and John being Oscar, because John better not be late for dinner or he is in deep trouble! Josh has been working as an intern learning the wireless cell site acquisition business and searching for a job. Brian got him an interview at really nice restaurant in Seattle, he has been into several other locations, but finding work is still very illusive.  They attended a Mariners game, which was cool because it was "Throw Back Night" which meant the M's and the A's were both wearing the 1939 uniforms or the Seattle Rainiers and the Oakland Oaks. John may get on the M's payroll soon, he has been to two games and they have lost both, so they may pay him to stay away!

Flowers at Pike's Place. Note the prices! 

It is fun to go to Pike's Place and see all the fresh sea food.

Batting practice at the M's game. I'm sure that this is one of the nicest stadiums in baseball. The vendors and the food is amazing. We were at the game two hours before it started to watch BP and walk the stadium. It was great.

YIKES! John actually felt pretty good before he saw this picture. Note the Seattle Rainiers hat, it was a give away hat night.
