Wild Sky Wilderness update, plus upcoming reading ...
I'm keeping a close watch on this one: Washington State preservationists are asking Congress to set aside 106,000 acres of forest, in the heart of Skykomish Valley, as wilderness. The land sounds incredible: old-growth forests, scenic crags and wild rivers, not to mention habitat for bald eagles, wolverines, owls and mountain goats. The proposal has cleared the U.S. Senate. Let's see what happens with this one. If it becomes a reality, I'm loading up my pack and heading out there as soon as the snows clear up. In other news, the Steinbeck Fellows will be reading in March in San Jose. Don't miss it. Peter Malae and Lysley Tenorio will present some of their latest works. Refreshments will be served. (and I almost forgot to mention that I'll be reading, too.)

When's the reading? I'll be there... (along with 50 of my closest college-aged friends?)
hi Kara -- sometimes I think you are my only reader!! I will post the date as soon as it's set in stone. Meanwhile, I am wondering if you have tried the crazy coffee place I mentioned in my last riposte.
I have not (but hope to) and I am not (your only reader, though the role would be an honor). I do like the Blue Bottle Coffee stand in Hayes, though.
Cool. I didn't know there was another one in Hayes (a lot easier for me to reach from the Upper Haight ...)
