Seattle Nightlife Report: Pony. Top Story - January 2026.
Mid-winter Friday night. Early but already so dark. The days are getting longer but 6 PM is still pitch black. “Firepit!” You declare things after just a few seconds of solemn thought – not a request or suggestion, not a demand. Last week you walked around saying, “Hot tub?” to anyone who would listen. Or one afternoon you pointed at two men holding hands as they crossed 12th Avenue, looked me in the eyes and said, “Boyfriends.”

Loving you has only just begun
Expect to see more of this photographic exploration of the Kent coastal town of Margate and nearby areas from me. This is my new home-to-be. Part of the Cinque Ports confederation, which dates back to around 1050, Margate sits at the far north-eastern point of Kent. The term Cinque Ports was first used in the 12th century, at a time when the official language throughout England was Norman French. Over the centuries, this language became assimilated with the Saxon, Danish, Celtic and other languages, evolving into modern English.

If Washington’s coast teaches patience, Oregon’s teaches commitment.

Misplacement to Relocation
My household contents left on a huge truck yesterday. It was an open backed truck and my study chair was piled right at the top of a mountain of boxes. It had to be tied and as I watched my belongings slowly rolling down my narrow street, the chair looked ridiculous and I pictured someone perched on it riding my belongings on the freeway to my new destination.

A Mountain Overture Beneath the Alps
I met this mountain feast at dawn, the moment I pushed open the window. The wind rushed in, carrying the damp scent of pine needles and fresh grass. Lifting my eyes, I saw the Alps stretching their boundless arms in the morning light. The distant peaks wore crowns of silver, their snow gleaming with a sacred glow beneath the rising sun. Dark gray mountain faces, like ancient books worn smooth by time, stood in silent devotion, bearing this purity upon their backs.
