Atop the Top: Queen Anne Highlights<p>Featuring the assorted personalities and characters living in the diverse pockets of the Queen Anne neighborhood, and the local businesses, organizations and amenities that make the hill a wonderful place to live."Devilishly good" coffee!- September 21, 2008 What better way to spend a grey weekend day (or pretty much any weekend day!) than sitting outside with a steaming cup of coffee Reading, people-watching, blogging, reigning in a hyperactive pit bull....oh wait, it seems Loca has at long last stopped whining at every passerby as if she's a starving orphan. We're sitting outside a beloved Queen Anne fixture, El Diablo Coffee Co. at the top of the hill. For those of you out there who are pet owners, it's directly across the street from the Queen..http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/queenanne/archives/149266.asp?source=rss I get knocked down, but I get up again- September 20, 2008 So this morning I slept in for my long run...and when I say slept in, I mean I made it there by 6:50 a.m. On a SATURDAY. The women I run with are masochists, and actually PREFER a 6:30 a.m. start on a weekend. Anyhoo, my 18-miler was downgraded to 15, and to add insult to injury...I did a full body dive into the pavement on Beach StAlki in West Seattle.
