Report Number One from Seattle

I just arrived in Seattle for my 2 week stint at the Bakke program. My friends Lisa and Hayden picked me up at the airport, brought me a mattress, and helped me find my apartment.

It is an amazing place 1 block from the Space Needle (which I have a full view of from my living room window). The young man who I am renting a room from is named Jaspreet: He works at Microsoft and seems to be a real nice person. (First impessions at midnight)

I start at 8am, and expect to get a wake-up call from my wife Marianne at 6am.
