Last day to get your picture taken with Elvis. It's free, bring your kids or pets or just get a picture of themselves and the King. Bring your own camera, there'll be cupcakes from Cupcake Royale. Aberrant Art (tattoo & piercing) is next door if you want to hit it first. Pop Tots, 6405 Roosevelt Ave., Ravenna, 206-522-4322.

Brian, you always sound like you're SO not surprised at anything that happens in the world. It makes Morning News oddly comforting, like... "Well, at least the news intern has a handle on things."

Can you please stop linking to the SECOND page of the NYT articles you post? Every damn time I click one of your links, every weekend, I have to go back to the first page, and it's atrociously inconvenient. Just read the URLs you are putting in.
