You’re among the hoi polloi invited to enjoy a Seahawks game in style! Full buffet, twelve HD monitors showing close-ups and games nationwide, massage and hot tub suite, and a chance to meet players and cheerleaders. Go Hawks!

For you wilderness lovers. Up early, breakfast en route, at Paradise by 10:30. Crystal-blue alpine lakes, giant sequoias, meadows full of flowers, and ever-shrinking glaciers (careful of crevasses)! Bring your own GORP.

We meet Tuesday in the café at Elliott Bay Books, Thursday at Ravenna Third Place café, for broccoli-buttermilk scones, five-dollar cookies, and a free-ranging discussion of this week’s best-seller. Boys in the Boat enthusiasts always welcome.

It’s First Thursday—fame, fortune, contacts, and wine and cheese niblets await you in Pioneer Square. Next door, expensive canvases splashed with greens and blues are calling forth superlatives from the cognoscenti.

Seattle-style potluck house-warming. Weather permitting, we’ll be in the backyard firing up the grill; otherwise, expect to cluster around bowls of chips & guac, veggie dips and local craft beers in the kitchen. For entertainment, be prepared to play charades or celebrities.
