The second full week of every month is designated 'Home Week' at the Foundation, when employees are asked not to travel to facilitate scheduling internal team meetings in Seattle. Ironically, since I will be working from home in San Diego longer term, 'Home Week' is the one week I will not be at home! The campus is thronged with people and conference rooms are at a premium. The sinks overflow with used coffee cups and there are long lunch lines in the cafeteria. My week was crammed with meetings, business lunches and dinners, while the fresh vegetables I'd bought the weekend before at Pike Place Market, intended for cooking at home, languished uneaten in the bottom of the fridge. New restaurants visited this week included Tilikum Place Cafe (twice) which is only five minutes' walk from the apartment and serves great oysters raw or baked; Etta's Seafood down at Pike Place whose famous rubbed salmon lived up to expectations; and a sushi bar complete with conveyor belt.
