Last night I went to my first Avalanche Safety Class. I've been thinking about attending a class in avalanche safety for years, but I guess it took having a kid to give me the final push to put down money ($160) and spend the time to attend.
The class was at REI, in the big conference room upstairs. I had to walk pretty fast to get there in time. When I arrived there was a large crowd of people milling around outside of the conference room. People were waiting in line to sign a liability waiver for the field trip. I waited, signed my waver and got my avalanche awareness booklet.
The room was packed, and I had no time to get any food before the class started. Fortunately, the lecture was pretty interesting. The person teaching the class is named Gary Brill. He had a nice multimedia presentation with absolutely gorgeous photos.
After the class was over at 9:00 I had to find my own way home. I walked over to the #16 bus line through the eerily deserted south lake union neighborhood. The bus took me almost all the way back to home, but the bus driver didn't turn on Meridian street from 45th Street. Instead, he turned onto a side street and got stuck at a roundabout. I walked the rest of the way home and got there at 10:00.
It's always a little sad when I can't see Logan during the day. Tonight I didn't get to see him awake. It's funny that I can miss seeing the little guy so much.
So, the other day I was really worried about Logan's lack of mobility. I kept thinking "why isn't he crawling? Is he just uninterested? Is there something wrong?" Today I'm feeling better. He tried to stand up on his own last night (didn't succeed for more than three seconds) and he's pulling himself up from sitting when he can. I just wonder - am I going to be worrying constantly from now on?
