Cory's Joy


Those who have been following the predecessor of this blog may recall that my branch of the Lueninghoener children has been living in New Mexico for the last several years.  Well, not anymore!  In July, we packed up the house and the kids and made a 1400 mile move to Seattle so I could start working for a big social media company.  It's been quite the adventure.  One of the big changes is living in a city again instead of out in the middle of nowhere, which means there are all kinds of big-city things that we got used to not having around in Los Alamos.  Things like busses.  And a nearby airport.  And Ikea.  And people.  It's kind of like being back in Chicago again, where we lived before New Mexico, but with a more exotic west-coast feel.

Remember how I said the move has been quite an adventure?  Part of that is the result of me crashing my bike and breaking my arm back at the start of December.  After riding the bus to work for a week or two while it healed some, I've been walking the two or three miles each day since then.  It takes about an hour, but gives me a chance to explore all of the nooks and crannies between the office building and our house.  One of the routes I can take goes past this radio tower, one of several on top of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle.  This particular one has been decked out in Christmas joy ever since Thanksgiving, and is one of the fun things I wouldn't have gone past between my house and the lab while we were living in the great southwest.
