For better or for worse, I've definitely taken more time this quarter to do things not related to school. Henry has been an excellent guide for Seattle doin's. Our first visit was opening night at Emerald Downs, a horse track.

| Woo-eee! |

| Not his first time, Henry was already in possession of Emerald Downs paraphernalia. |
Each race last only about a minute. Within that time, you can only see the horses for about 20 seconds. Then you have to wait another 30 minutes until the next race. I imagine on a nice day it can be quite pleasant. Our night, however, was quite cold. I spent a lot of time huddled under a blanket.

Our next outing was to a Mariner's game. This was a good time, but also freezing. Don't be fooled by Henry's casual attire - it was incredibly cold when the sun went down. I really can't get a break with the weather here.

Looks like fun, minus the cold and rain. I agree with the horse track thing. I've only been to one and I spent the whole time trying to see.
About the Kentucky Derby--Stan and I toured the facility (not on a race day) a few years ago, and it has seen better days. Maybe it is better when the racing folk are present. Anyway, one needs to check these things out!
Looks like a blast! Glad you're able to sneak some time away from school and do fun tourist things. :)
If it makes you feel better, I've been wondering if Seattle (or its weather) has been transplanted on the East Coast. Here's to sunny days all around!
I am so glad to see you are having a good time besides just sticking your nose in the books and typing away on the computer. Power to you.
