I've been trying to decide what to do this weekend.

By sheer luck, I missed being on-call (apparently sacrificing that unblemished ram worked - thanks Levi!) and so I am faced with not only a long weekened but a Memorial Day weekend with an unprecedented weather forecast of sun for all three days.

Folk Life will be held this weekend at Seattle Center. I usually enjoy Folk Life for its high hippie content. Hippies are cool. They may be even more hopelessly lost in our even more hideously greedy and self-centered culture than they were forty years ago but their hearts are in the right place.

I also enjoy Folk Life because it's the traditional forum for celebrating the Unwrapping Of The Bods in Seattle. After nine months of being hidden under sweatshirts and rain gear, the T and A of Seattle are released over the Memorial Day weekend to frolic and cavort with my rods and cones (that's ocularity, folks) and vivid imagination.

And there'll be taiko and I love that shit!

Monday will probbly find me face down in the...no. Monday will probably find me and Miss Significantly Other at the Japanese Memorial Day service at Lakeview Cemetery.

Other than a day at Folk Life and a service at Lakeview, I don't have much planned. Do you?
