TACOMA & PUYALLUP DAY

Today was a day of books, art, and beer (and wanderings) spent in Tacoma and Puyallup. It was definitely a Troy's Work Table kind of day. Highlights included:

TACOMA
*Experiencing (and participating in) another episode of Mr. Mario's Secret Circus.
*Poking around in King's Books.
*Purchasing a copy of In Tahoma's Shadow edited by William Kupinse and Tammy Robacker.
*Picnicking on the Thea Foss waterfront.
*Viewing Fluent Steps by Martin Blank at the Museum of Glass Reflecting Pool.
*Wandering around the stairs and ramps of the Museum District.
*Visiting and viewing the exhibits at the Tacoma Art Museum.

PUYALLUP
*Mowing the lawn. (Believe it or not, I actually find this relaxing and meditative.)
*Enjoying a Mirror Pond Pale Ale from Deschutes Brewery while mowing the lawn.
*Grilling New York steaks on the barbecue over a hot bed of charcoal briquettes.
*Eating the same steaks, accompanied by another Mirror Pond.
*Throwing disc golf discs along the Riverwalk Trail.
*Reading poems from In Tahoma's Shadow.
*Reading poems from the May issue of Poetry magazine.
