What tradition marks the beginning of the holiday season for you?
In our house (and now our friends’) it’s coffee. And surprisingly, this tradition has nothing to do with Seattle, but rather Minnesota… by way of Chicago…

Some hikes just have a magical quality to them. This was one of them. Lost Lake, Larrabbee Park, WA.

"Alive, we write this testament of thanks to you, dear Toni: alive, beloved and persevering, magical. Among the fecund intimacies of our hidden past, and among the coming days of dream or nightmares that will follow from the bidden knowledge of our conscious heart, we find your life work ever building to a monument of vision and discovery and trust. You have never turned away the searching eye, the listening ear attuned to horror or to histories providing for our faith. And freely you have given to us every word that you have found important to the forward movement of our literature, our life. For all of America, for all of American letters, you have advanced the moral and artistic standards by which we must measure the daring and the love of our national imagination and our collective intelligence as a people."
--From an open letter to the NYT from a group of 48 African American writers and scholars in 1988
RIP to the incomparable Ms. Morrison. You opened my eyes and my heart with your gift of language.
