A different Saturday

[susandennis]

For the past four weeks, I've had an art class on Saturdays.  For the past couple of years, I've gone to a swim class first thing on Saturday mornings at the Meadowbrook pool.

The art classes are over and Meadowbrook is closed til April.

My plan today is to go up to Queen Anne pool for a class at 9.  My expectations are low.  The Queen Anne pool is small and dark and dingy and the classes are crowded.  I've heard the Saturday morning class is really crowded.  The Queen Anne neighborhood is not that far but a royal bitch and a half to get to and very little available parking.

Hopefully, my expectation bar is so low, I won't even trip over it.  There are, I think, lots of opportunities for breakfast after class and a Trader Joe's within walking distance of the pool.

That's about it for the plan. It is not a weekend to be get carried away with todos.  Major highways are throttled or closed due to maintenance issues.  There's a giant convention downtown and a minor trade show here in my part of town and the Sounders will be playing their first soccer game of the season here tonight.

So I'll come on home and stay here, happily.

And that's the haps.  So far.

So how bad was it, even with the expectations being so low? :)

Well, so far, getting here was a breeze and there were several excellent parking options. I'm way too early for class so now I'm just killing time. The lap swim, before class is really crowded. .. But I'm feeling a little optomistic.

With all the events going on in the area the traffic thing sounds like an excellent thing to avoid. Getting home yesterday early evening was a major thing, even on a bus. What is normally a 15 minute bus trip took the bus 45 minutes to get from downtown (4th & Pike) to near where I live on Capitol Hill, most of which was spent inching along downtown. At least I didn't have to do the driving.
