Back to Seattle Gloom


After taking Elsie to the Spa at SageCliff (after we sprung her from Jail), we headed back to Seattle. John, Sylvia and Jennifer decide to go see Carrie Fisher in her one woman show "Wishful Drinking", all about her train wreck of a life ever since she was Princess Lea in the original Star Wars. It made all of us feel like we were not so dysfunctional after all. We were in the front row, so were called on to verify things and answer rhetorical questions. I was embarrassed, so when she asked me my name, I said "Sylvia", of course that makes one a bit more brave when anonymous. She wanted to smoke on stage, but it is illegal, so compromised with clove cigarettes. When I identified her clove cigarette as "most certainly BC bud", she stuck it down my shirt. The coolest thing about Carrie Fisher is she has her likeness forever immortalized as a Pez dispenser.

Visit to the Farm


So, ElsieCoyote goes on a trip to see her country cousins in Royal City. Upon arriving at the farm, cousins Chinook, Zeus, and Shania, all who weight 90-120 pounds each, pack mob her and push her off the lounging deck. There were 6-7 cats hanging around and so Elsie spent the next hour trying to figure out how to get the cats without going on the deck. She finally figured there was nothing to do but go on the deck in order to get the cats (MUST GET CATS was all she could think) she got up to a cat and then all the other dogs held back and waited until she started chasing the cat (stray) and then they all joined in the game, cats all got away every which way. The only cat that did not scatter was George (not a stray) so Elsie turns her attention to George. Just as she has stalked within 5 feet, Chinook comes tearing around the corner and gets between Elsie and the cat and just takes Elsie to task for trying to get George. Evidently George is the dogs' cat. George also never runs away and very nearly succeeded in poking Elsie's eye out. Afterwords Elsie went to Jail.
