Delicousness

Forgive my lack of posting, new jobs will do that to you–considering I’m usually quite the multi-tasker, this is really saying something. Anyho, Let’s talk about food a moment, shall we? One of the ultra groovy/soon-to-be dangerous, aspects of my new location in downtown Seattle is being walking distance to four Tom Douglas restaurants. And if you think this is just a Seattle relevant post, you’re wrong as he was the 3rd Tom down on my Bing search, talk about a food Legend!.

Young Guns

“Holy Sch-nikes”, I thought to myself when I first heard that Alexander Prior would be joining the Seattle Symphony in his first professional assignment, as The Chairman’s Fellow, Assistant to Guest Conductors. Why, might you ask, am I so surprised? Only just that, this particular British musical prodigy happens to be 17 years old! Can you believe it? Assigned his first professional post, half of my age, yet conducting some of the world’s most prestigious Symphonies. How can that be? I’m not exactly sure, but it’s pretty cool. Does he conduct? Yep. Does he compose? Yep. Does he play? Yep,…
