thanks for writing. yeah, the pacific NW is magical. i lived in seattle for awhile. the locals report the day's weather by how visible rainier is. if you can't see it, it's hazy/cloudy. if you can, it's sunny and so on. all of the places you mentioned are what make seattle so great. you can head out in any direction and in 45 minutes you are in mountains. the olympic peninsula is something to behold. a hike down a river canyon there reveals sights and natural scenes that rival the tropics and defy the imaginations best attempts at 'the enchanted kingdom".
can i ask: for what did you do the incurables program? did it 'cure' you? did you include the cold sheet therapy? how was that?
