While out on our rounds yesterday, Gub and I stopped at Kid's Club in University Village. I had been there before, but it was back in the days of newborn parenting, and my focus was narrow. This store really has it all, from toys to darling clothes, and from art supplies to strollers -- not to mention a great selection of baby-proofing supplies, feeding equipment and diapering stuff.

When the old Kingdome was imploded, the city seemed to pause and salute. Even on a smaller scale, the sight of a big demolition project is always somewhat thrilling to me; the guts of a building are suddenly exposed, and one can ponder the resources that went into its making. In Georgetown this Sunday, we saw the old Rainier Cold Storage Building ripped open, its rebar sagging like reeds from its open side. If your kids are the types who love to peer through fences at the action of cranes and bulldozers, they might love this. I doubt it will be there for long.
