Mark!!!!
There is simply no deterioration of decorum imaginable in this forum of forums that you will not willingly, even eagerly (and comfortably) slip under!!! You are a mole of filth and sin, hasn't anybody told you that yet?
Incidentally, we've booked flights to LAX on 20 September 2014 (we'll then take a car up the Pacific Coast) and a return flight from Seattle to LAX (and from there back home) on 10 October 2014, so do brace yourself for an early October meeting of minds! Until then I will have to make up my mind on how to explain to Edith what "beaver breath" might mean.
You don't really want me to behave........
I know you'll enjoy the trip up the West (Best!) Coast, tho it will be getting cold here, so bring a coat, esp. if you want to do some walking around (here in Seattle or elsewhere) Highway 101 here in Washington is the route to drive if you still enjoy driving, there's a 150 mi. stretch between Aberdeen (Cobain's hometown) and Pt Angeles that is pure driving joy - even better when you don't have to share it!
I shall endevor to have my haus in ordnung, I'll probably be in a Maid's outfit the day you arrive!
