Irene and I are currently on the first leg of our Northwest/Pacific journey, visiting her brother Quinn and his girlfriend in Olympia, Washington. We flew into Sea-Tac (Seattle-Tacoma) Airport on Wednesday after a *long* flight from Philadelphia. We're going to be hanging out until this afternoon, when we'll head down South to Eugene, Oregon to see her older brother Eliot and his girlfriend Kate.
Olympia is a nice little town, but for a capital, it's pretty little (not unlike Concord). We went to a nice brewery (Fish Brewing) for dinner Wednesday night and yesterday we BBQ-ed at Quinn's house. They've been gracious hosts.
I am looking forward to Eugene, though, and doing some running. Of course, Eugene was the home base of running icon Steve Prefontaine. What's so great about Prefontaine? Well, for one thing, he held the American record for all seven distance track events between the 2000 meters to the 10,000 meters. Youch.
