Little Kids, Big City
The Butterflies and Blooms exhibit opens Friday, May 23 at the Woodland Park Zoo,
inspiring another year of longing in my daughter. She wants nothing
more than for a butterfly to alight on her. She stands stone-still
(difficult for an 8-year-old kid), barely breathing, hoping to look
like a gargantuan version of the flowers blooming along the path.

Look, I don't know how to say this without sounding like a 12-year-old, so I'm just going to blurt it out: Woodland Park Zoo is once again selling poop by the gallon.

So what do you do in a winter when parts of Massachusetts get more snow in one storm than the total skimpy snowpack at Stevens Pass?
If you've lived around Puget Sound long enough to know how to pronounce "Sequim," you know that skiing is our winter safety valve. It's our ticket out of the seasonal mildew of Seattle at sea level. Without skiing between November and April, our attitude sours and we get all damp and unpleasant, like liquefying lettuce left too long in the fridge.
