It was gray, and wet, and a little sombre today as I drove home from the gym.

A classic rock grunge song played on the radio, reminding me of the gray, wet, and somberness that often greeted me whenever I went to Seattle for work, a few years ago.

Chris Cornell was such a huge talent; I was shocked and saddened by his death in 2017. He was just a bit older than me and is now forever frozen at 52. Such a tragedy. I took a pic with his statue one of the last times I made it to the city.

Soundgarden was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last weekend. I didn’t see it, but hope to catch the ceremony on Disney plus.

I was in Pike Place Market around this time 2 years ago, and took a pic of this store window – I just had to — that T-shirt was great! I wish I had bought it. All those Christmas-y things, I guess the holidays are just around the corner!

We went to a holiday dinner hosted my husband’s cousin tonight. It was a lovely get together, but with all the kids now young adults, the vibe is really changing. The kids’ table (all in their 20s) was drinking the wine – and the adults’ table, was drinking mostly water (well, at least after one glass of wine)! My daughter, home for the weekend, was supposed to join us but she felt a cold coming on and decided to stay home. She made herself a potato, cheddar and bacon soup for dinner, a perfect meal for a cold.

Tomorrow, Sunday, is another workout day. I’m glad I came home early enough – no excuses, I have to make it to the gym in the morning.
