But before departing, there are a few things I want to do...and to no surprise, most are food-related:
1) Catch one last ballgame at Safeco Field. Along with AT&T in San Francisco, the most picturesque & fan-friendly ballpark. I'll be rooting for my beloved Mariners from halfway across the Pacific, but it won't be the same.
2) Fish & chips at Ivar's Salmon House. Mmm...need I say more? Not necessarily the best in town, but there's something nostalgic about 'em. I'll always remember to face the tartar sauce cup away from me when opening...otherwise, it'll look like you took a spooge load on your shirt!
3) Extra-pepperoni pie from Pizzeria Pagliacci. Another one of those local comfort foods, I practically lived off of 'em in college. Absolutely adore the thin-crusted NY-style pizza paired with their excellent artichoke pesto pasta salad. Hmm...may order one this weekend and get it out of the way!
4) A Deluxe w/ fries & a vanilla shake from Dick's Drive-In. Not wholly necessary since I'll be visiting Mountain View & In-N-Out on my way to the Islands, but it'd be nice to slug down one of these double-pattied burgers for old time's sake. Super-cheap & delicious...but you gotta eat 'em just as soon as you get 'em or everything'll go soggy.
Well, there's my not-so-ambitious to-do list...c'mon, I'm not climbing Mt. Rainier or any kind of bullsh*t like that! Wish I had the time & ambition to visit Vancouver, BC, but my passport expired...c'est la vie.
Ciao4Now.

Impressive to-do list Boy Howdy. Definitely gotta get the M's game, you won't have a whole lot of big league games to go to in the islands! We could always ship ya a slice of extra pepperoni pie.
37 days?? Damn that was fast. Or was it longer ago then I think that you were just thinking about it. Are you going to be staying with the parental units or staying with friends? I think it's great that you actually have the opportunity to do it.
AT&T park is awesome, you must get one last game in. I don't follow baseball but I always have fun seeing a game live. It's a beautiful ballpark and it seems impossible to not get into the game. If only it weren't named AT&T park. I'm so glad the season is starting up again.
What's up? How was the move?
