On the Waterfront

Glorious evening. Rainier melting in the southern sky like a gorgonzola ice-cream cone. Across the water, the jagged outline of Olympic teeth. Sails luff, ferries glide.

We're on the patio at the foot of Pier 70, celebrating Cornichon's birthday with a feast at Waterfront Seafood Grill: mussels, calamari, crab salad, swordfish, crab-filled vol-au-vent, gumbo, lobster mashed potatoes. A couple of terrific French wines (Sancerre and Chambolle-Musigny). Couldn't be better.

Motley? I thought we were by far the best dressed, best-behaved, most sophisticated party on the patio ...

Yes, it was good. The gumbo was good at lunch yesterday, too. Still wondering what the staff there thought of our motley crew, though ;-)
