Here it is, 5 a.m. and I have been,
awake for hours.
Perhaps, I can write the words,
rattling around, in my head
and so, I'll make an effort,
to remove all the dread,
of ever being able to sleep,
for more than 2 hours,
in my warm, comfy bed.
Sleeping in my recliner,
is not a problem
as attested by my wife.
Switching to another page,
as I feel these many words,
trying to escape to paper.

Upcoming I Dig Dinos themes
May 27: Undersea Adventures (with dig pit!)
June 24: Ice Ages (with dig pit!)

Bring your budding paleontologist to the Burke for monthly fossilized fun. Enjoy three prehistoric stations every month ranging from touching real fossils, making discoveries in the dig pit, solving dinosaur mysteries, dino dress-up and more. Activities and themes change monthly so there’s always something new! 

This May, go on an undersea adventure! Dive in and learn all about prehistoric marine creatures. Uncover an ancient sea creature in the dig pit, touch a fossil ammonite and make your own 3D ammonite to take home.

Please note: I Dig Dinos is open to everyone but is geared toward ages 3-7. 
Parking is free in UW parking lots on Sundays, including the N5 parking lot closest to the Burke Museum. Plan your visit.

Your palpitating manner,
Your idiotic grin,
Gives way to all your ignorance
That, somewhere, lies within.
Your consistence, selfish, attitude,
Stands alone, above all others,
You who doesn't give a damn.

Substation, Seattle’s premiere underground music venue, will be hosting a higher consciousness, jam band night featuring four sets of music by three of the Pacific Northwest’s most mind melting acts. Featuring The High Council, OSO and Caveman Ego

The High Council will be playing two full sets. From the heart of the Evergreen State, The High Council explores the boundaries of melody and groove. With a blend of transcendent improvisation and earthy rock sensibilities, THC draws on elements of jazz, reggae, rock and psychedelia.

They will be joined by OSO, a band that was formed in Bellingham, Wa in 2014. Oso has developed a unique sound through improvisation, experimentation, and song writing. Primarily focusing on “the space between” OSO fuses jam, funk, rock, folk, trance, and disco sounds for a truly creative sonic journey into the mind.

Playing support will be Caveman Ego, a progressive funk rock outfit from Seattle, Washington. Formed in 2014, the band melds their love of classic rock, funk, and jazz into a unique genre that can only be described as “prehistoric anti-structural cave jams.”

We all instantly recognize good photographs when we see them. Then why is it so hard to create them with our cameras?You’ve heard of the photographer's eye. It’s the thing that lets some people make amazing photographs from scenes where others see nothing. And as much as technology can dress up mundane pictures, it’s creative vision that’s ultimately at the core of making images with impact. The question is whether this is a special talent you have to be born with or is it something you can acquire? Come find out the answer in Ken Lee’s presentation, Seeing 101.

Cars all wet and glistening
Are darting in and out,
Swerving with indifference,
While impeding paths of others.

The green of many signals,
Hanging in the streets,
The flashing lights of neon,
Distorting, all that pass, beneath.

And then the dark Sears tower,
Is seen by sleepy eyes,
The workday, drawing closer,
As cars are parked and locked.

The sound of rapid footsteps,
A smell of soft perfume,
A spot of red, from cigarettes,
Flicker in the gloom.

A quick, short walk, on sidewalks,
A few "Good Morning" friends.
Then trudging up the stairwell
And puffing at the top, I catch my breath.

Hurry to the office,
Out the back, rear door,
Stopping at the mirror,
To check my appearance.

Grab a cup of coffee,
A piece of toast or two.
Sit down at the table
And listen, to those who talk.

The sound of a hundred voices,
In discordant harmony,
Reminds me of a bee-hive
And of the sound of bees.

At last the bell is ringing,
So I hurry to my work,
To say hello to people,
Who I appreciate.
