Late night

We went to the Seamonster last night to hear some musicians we've seen playing in other groups. Bass, guitar, drums and keyboard, two of them vocalists as well. It was enjoyable. We left after the first set, and missed the bartender's singing, which we've witnessed before. He's pretty good, and most enthusiastic.
Had a wonderful late afternoon walk today with beloved spouse. We wended our way down to Lake Union; bopped up Kite Hill to watch some fellers with radio-controlled gliders that resembled a cross between a flying wing and a frisbee; then over to Fremont the back scary way, scary to me when I'm alone because I always seem to encounter drunken weirdos lurching out of the undergrowth and out at me as I trip happily along the sidewalk. We went around caution barriers below the Aurora Bridge and had a nice section of the bike trail to ourselves. The poplars along the ship canal were golden up to about their top branches, where they were stil tinged with summer green. In one direction, blue sky with puffy white clouds cruising by; in the other, to the west, threatening shades of gray.
There were roving bands of young folks dressed up as zombies, in honor of Halloween. One guy had fake bloody handprints all over his ragged white shirt, and two pet white rats sitting on his shoulder, also tricked out with gore. Most eye-catching and impressive, I thought.
Home again to roast a big chicken for dinner.
To bed, and happily, very early, thanks to the end of Daylight Savings Time.
