No Fool

... like a tired fool.

The first time I ever heard of Seattle was in a Serendipity book, The Wheedle on the Needle. I was very small. Then there was grunge rock, so when I heard Nirvana or Pearl Jam, there would always be that vague association. Now, because I am the biggest idiot on Gods' Green Earth, Seattle comes to mind whenever I see a job listing in project management. Biggest. Idiot. Ever.

Did I mention that I used to have a real job? With a paycheck and everything? And that I lived in a city with what I've increasingly come to regard as the best weather on the planet? Criminy.
