Okay...I give up. I've been watching and listening to the Seattle Mariners for SO long! Even when they had a record number of wins in a season, they were unable to close the deal in the post-season. It seems, in most years, they crumble just before August and fall to the bottom, year after year. This time, it looked like they had better hitting and pitching. This year, it looked like they might just turn the corner. No. It's nearing the end of May and they've already imploded. I give up. No more radio broadcasts. No more television (as if I actually HAD an operable television). No more attendance at the games. They stink. There's something so very wrong with this team. Either they can't afford decent players and coaches or they're too stupid to make sensible choices or they just don't care. I don't care. I give up. The Seattle Mariners appear to be a low-class organization no matter what bunch of losers they throw out there. They're all perennial losers.
No wonder the Sonics are gone! There's something inherently wrong with sports in this area. I give up.
Whatever happened to when we had A-Rod? Griffey? The Big Unit? Edgar? There were great players who have passed through town and yet we continue to see the dregs of major league baseball.
We're just one injury away from the Seahawks taking a dive or being mired in a scandal.
Seattle is not a sports town and I will not support any of these losers until they (somehow) turn the corner and establish a winning tradition. Until then...I give up.
These local teams (especially the Mariners) are all like Lucy pulling the football away from poor Charlie Brown. Every year, there is the hype and all the talk about how they're ready to turn the corner. They never do and Charlie Brown (the fans) keep up the faith. Well...I give up.

Back to Fall City Bistro...Finally!
It's been many months since I went to the Fall City Bistro (right down the street from my house). So...I went there for Mothers Day yesterday. (The reason I haven't been a regular there is because I no longer have any measurable income.) When I drive past the place, it just warms my heart to see so many cars in the parking lot. I was so impressed when I first dined there and hoped others would appreciate it.
Well...we had upscale popcorn, soup, salad, crab cakes, Chianti, lobster, spaghetti and an after-dinner drink. (I thought it was going to be some kind of Italian Ice but it turned out to be a lemony, vodka drink...I guess I'm not particularly sophisticated in regard to foods!)
Anyhow-way, there have been continuing upgrades to the establishment, inside and out. The atmosphere was wonderful, the staff (in spite of being so busy on Mothers Day) was professional, prompt and personable and I greatly appreciated the experience.
It's (nearly) a blessing to have such a fine restaurant in town!
Okay...I do have a very minor complaint that doesn't reflect directly on me...many of the meals have a cream-type sauce and I was with a "mother" who is lactose-intolerant. She had to be very careful in removing some of the goodies from the milk-based sauce.
That's my only criticism at this point.
Even though I don't really eat doughnuts, I'm anxious to see what the management's plan is for the outside cart they're in the process of setting up. There are so many possibilities!
I was noticing the other eating and drinking places in town. They all have their windows adorned with neon signs from various beer and wine companies. The Fall City Bistro doesn't have those abominations and I hope they continue to refrain.
Bottom line (if this is really it)...
GO TO THE FALL CITY BISTRO!
When I had money so many years ago, I frequented many, very expensive places around the country. The people, ambience and food at the Fall City Bistro combine to create a wonderful dining experience. (I only wish I could afford to eat out more often...instead of eating dandelions from the lawn and soup made from freshly-fallen swallow feathers.)
