anyone who ever said that location can’t change a person. i moved north of lake union and became a white person. or maybe my inner white person is now external, though my skin has just turned its natural summer pan-ethnic deep olive (the indian intern at work just asked me if i was indian, too). but never mind that! i have turned white since moving. here’s the evidence:

- i spend a lot of time watering tomatoes
- i have taken up sailing boats on water
- i wear non-ironic dorky clothes while bbqing

i love the neighborhood. the other day, some neighbors offered me a really nice table saw for free if i would get it out of their basement. i haven’t picked it up yet, but am planning on doing it this weekend. this brings the count of free things we’ve gotten since we moved here to five — four scones and one table saw. actually, we got six things if you count the plate that the scones rode in on that we don’t plan on returning. that’ll teach them to give us anything.
