Retirement years can often be declining years. However, I prefer to look at them as the advent of another fulfilling phase of life -- full of creativity, active engagement and challenge. I feel like I've gotten "my second wind". And this is the verbal journey.

City Lights and Birthday Bites
My wife and I enjoyed another day in Seattle today, the second within the past 11 days. The heavy rain and strong winds (again) this morning let up just in time.
We spent the late afternoon visiting the Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibit in Seattle Center; my next post will be about that impacting experience.
Tonight, however, we enjoyed some time in downtown Seattle (top left) followed by a birthday dinner with our son Doug and his wife Jamie (right pic – taken following the meal). Doug’s birthday was actually last year (Dec 30) but the celebration was still good.
Doug’s restaurant choice was the popular P.F. Chang’s China Bistro in Westlake Center, where everything on the menu makes your mouth water. And we gave it our best shot.
We shared an appetizer, four great entrees and a dessert. A friend of theirs had recommended trying Dan-Dan Noodles, a mixture of stir-fried scallions, garlic and chili on hot egg noodles with a veggie garnish. It was incredibly delicious.
It’s always great when someone in the family has a birthday. And we can celebrate.
