As part of our big plan for 2013, especially our Ultimate Advocacy project, we want to introduce you to people who serve as allies in order to make the world a better place for everyone. Read more 
Try This Vegan Asian Salad
With so much travel and so many visitors in town, we haven’t been eating as well as we’d like. Plus, it’s been hot so spending a lot of time cooking doesn’t sound like a good time. That’s why we recently challenged ourselves to add some light, summery entrees to our repertoire. Read more
A Great Book
Are you looking for a riveting read? Good timing because have we ever got a page-turner for you. Read more
The Washington DC Must-Do You Know Nothing About
There was only a huge tree and several feet between the two of us and Eric Herzberg’s mother. We were curious about what she was doing but wanted to remain respectful, so we kept to the walkway and didn’t let on that we were watching and feeling her pain.
For several minutes, we successfully fought the unrelenting urge to run up and console her – to tell her how shitty we still feel about what happened. Unable to trust our willpower any longer, we resolved to walk away.
We walked backwards, staring silently, until she was merely a dot in the distance. Read more
The Best Washington DC Memorial
For years now – with every visit to Washington DC – we tease it. Well, it’s now time to “put a ring” on our pick for the top memorial in this attraction-rich city. Read more
The Naked Truth
Here it is… the naked truth (instead of trickery) on April Fools’ Day. Read more
If You Love Chipotle, Get to ShopHouse
When we’re on the road, we’re big fans of the food over at Chipotle Mexican Grill. It’s fast without compromising flavor, and it’s reasonably healthy. We both love the vegetarian burritos (in case you ever want to take us out for a cheap date).
When we heard that the masterminds behind Chipotle were experimenting with a new concept in Washington D.C., we couldn’t wait to try it out during our visit. Read more
The Power of a Passport
“There is no such thing as a bad day when you are in a room in which there is a door handle in sight,” Gerda Weissmann Klein told the crowd. “You are in freedom,” said the 87-year-old Holocaust survivor.
The next thing I remember is the woman seated next to us capturing our attention and saying “I’m glad I’m not the only person who cries at these things.” Read more
Can I Help You Across the Street, Old Lady
We’re not great local citizens. We want to be better about that.
We can tell you about the root causes of poverty in Zambia, but we can’t give you the scoop on, say, the recent spike in violence in our Seattle hood. To be clear, I don’t think there’s been an increase in violence, but – if there was – we’d probably be clueless. Not cool. Read more
Marriage and Costa Rica and Surprises, Oh My!
We’re in shock. For a lotta reasons.
First off, it looks like we’re going to have the opportunity to get married here in Washington State. This sort of news came once before, when we lived down in Oregon, without a stellar end result. It was ruled unlawful. Read more
We Can’t Manage to Get Ourselves to the Top of the Space Needle, BUT…
Hi. We’re Kent and Caanan, and we are Seattle tourism failures. The first step is admitting the truth, and we feel so much better.
So there you have it. The embarrassing truth. We’ve lived in Seattle for several years and have not been to the top of the Space Needle.
