But home I got, and here's a quick Seattle photo before I turn out the lights:

Home...
Well, I'm home from Seattle, but what a drive from the airport! It seems that a truck carrying a load of watermelons was rear-ended by a car, in the middle of the Tappan Zee Bridge some time before 7 p.m. The truck managed to flip over the median and burst into flames. The truck driver was killed and the bridge is closed in both directions — possibly through morning rush hour tomorrow. By the time I got to the area around 9:30, of course everything was messed up all 'round. Traffic was diverted to the Bear Mountain Bridge, and it took 45 minutes to go the last mile there.

Glad you're home, safe and sound.
I visited Seattle in Dec. 2006 to attend a conference. It is a fabulous place! Did you have dinner at the revolving restaurant at the Space Needle? The view is tremendous!
I was up in the Space Needle many years ago (in the 1980s), but not this time. I did get some nice halibut cakes at a seafood restaurant called "Chinook's at Salmon Bay".
