		We take a walk, the sun is shining down Burns my feet as they touch the ground Another gloriously sunny day here in the Upper Lefthand -- 60 degrees, but it felt a bit warmer than that. Bulbs are sprouting, flowers are blooming (Crocuses, I think), Canadian Geese are heading north. Neighbors are out working in yards. Sales of sunglasses are spiking. Took a walk down the hill and through the Aboretum all the way up to the tip of Foster Island, where it overlooks Union Bay. then across Marsh Island to the Montlake Cut, and over to the Seattle Yacht Club, and finally up the back side of CapHill to home. All-in-all roughly 3 hours and probably 10+ miles, not bad considering I haven't been out all that much the past several weeks. Of course, the rain returns tomorrow, but on a day like today, you just can't complain. On the job search front: I started applying with temp agencies starting last week, and have gone through one set of interviews, with another later this week, and a third agency scheduled for the week following. So far, no actual work yet, but Agency #1 thought they had some good prospects, and I even got a call from a recruiter this morning checking about my availability for a 3 month gig at a local digital imaging company. I was pretty insistent on wanting jobs close in to Seattle and at a level commensurate to what I had been doing at WestFarm, so hopefully whatever turns up will pay reasonably close to my old salary. (On an ironic note: Agency #1 also recruits temps for WestFarm, so there is at least a possibility that I could end up temping at my old workplace -- I told them, "I don't mind if they don't", so who knows?).
