Knicks Win Title--First Since 1973

 I follow very little NBA since the Sonics left town.  Congrats to the New York Knicks, who have won their first title since 1973 and only the team's third overall. 

Jalen Brunson scored 45 points for the winning team, who took the series 4-1.  The Knicks overcame, in the entire series, 4 double digit deficits, a record. 

Maple Valley Days Feature--Dog Jumping

 It was fun watching the dogs jump at Maple Valley Days.  This took place at the Lake Wilderness Beach.  

The annual festival concludes today (Sunday, June 14th, 2026).

Seaside 4--Ecola State Park

 Ecola State Park, North of Cannon Beach, also has amazing views of the water. 

Seaside 3--Watching The Sunset

Once we got past the two cold, rainy days.  The weather warned and the sunsets were spectacular.

Seaside 2--Sightseeing

Driving down from Cannon Beach, views of the surf are nothing less than spectacular.

Taken from Oswald West State Park near Manzanita.

The ocean looks beautiful!

Hymon & Parfunkel At The Village

Last weekend, we watched We Ain't Never Gonna Breakup The Hymon and Parfunkel Musical at the Village Theater in Issaquah.

It is not loosely based biography of Simon and Garfunkel, but an absurdist musical look at the 60s through the eyes of a fictional folk dou largely resembling the legendary folk duo.

Yacht Rock Revue 5--Takin' It To The Streets

 Takin' It To The Streets is an oldie, but it never sounds like one. 

A Day At Woodland Park Zoo 4--Bear Exhibit

 This was also fascinating. From last week's zoo visit.
