SEATTLE -- Leave it to me to find the one coffee house that doesn't have a wireless Internet connection!
Just to review: The Emerald City is home to Nintendo, Microsoft and just a few other technology companies you may have heard of once or twice.
And there's a coffee house -- in Seattle! -- that doesn't have wireless. Seriously? OK, no, seriously? That's like walking into a bagel store in New York City or Long Island and only being able to purchase rolls.
No wonder there is so much drama every week on "Grey's Anatomy." I used to think it was just good television writing, acting and production. Nope. Turns out it's just the ridiculousness of the Pacific Northwest, a land where even when it's sunny outside, it still rains. I wish that was just a bad joke, but it's the truth here today.
Now I have to sit in a Starbucks in Seattle to get online. That's about as pop culture as Ray's Famous Pizza in Manhattan.

Hey, Mark! I feel your pain about Seattle. I wrote about the Twin Peaks-like experience I had there last year on the Garden Detective blog. I've heard that Seattle is the suicide capital of the country. Maybe that's due to the combined impact of its wireless and inclement weather situations. Hang in there. Jes
