Opening Shift

I absolutely love our city in the dark before the sunrise! The rain-soaked pavement that glistens under orange streetlights early in the morning. The wind swirling around trees as another car whooshes through a puddle standing in middle of the street. Silent bus-stops with just a few strangers huddled against the chill and the counters of the early morning caffeine peddlers coming to life as baristas stock the shelves and pull the shots that make this city run. Before most of the city has dragged itself out of bed and injected another dose of caffeine to begin another hustle and bustle day I get to walk about half a mile to the shop where I work.

Why? Why Not?

I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon, follow the flock, imitate the masses and begin a blog. Hopefully this will be able to document Nate's and my crazy life here at our love nest in Ballard.

And now for your enjoyment...a typical Ellis self-portrait...

Bonsoir!
