[27] Trashy Summertime Fun
Ah summer. As an adult, I am not a big fan of it — the heat, the congestion on the freeway as the exit to the beaches near, the depression of not fitting into a teeny tiny bikini. As a kid, though, it brought to mind some great memories. If my summer memories as a […]

[In Memoriam] RHW Update
This is a follow-up post to “Father. Friend. Never Forgotten.” I was determined to right things and find out where my dear friend is buried. I went to the cemetery and asked a person in the office to help me find the plot. It was a kind of freaky experience. Just setting foot into the […]

[Simply Seattle] Step by Step
(Edit: Thank you Heather for correcting me!) Five years ago I became smitten with Seattle. It took more than 4 years to return. The first time we did some typical touristy things — toured Pike Place Market, took pictures and had dinner at the Space Needle, cruised the Locks, visited the aquarium and jammed at […]

[26] Stop, Sausage Thief!
When I was growing up, all I ever heard about was the things that used to happen — before I was born. For instance, they’d always go to the beach and go different places. My mom would buy all the good stuff, back in the day when things were cheaper and my mom wasn’t as […]

[A Walk on the Flip Side] Get into the Groove
I’ve always felt like I was born in the wrong time period. So, it’s no surprise that I enjoy the web series Vinyl Rewind, hosted by the Vinyl Geek and (as of season 2) and Miz Mel. In each episode the Vinyl Geek (aka Eric Callero) showcases a single artist/band/album. While some of the artists […]
[Get Juiced] Power on the Go
I upgrade my dumbphone just about as soon as my carrier gives me the green light to do so. While the chargers are now USB based and universal, the batteries are not. I’ve never bought a backup battery for any of my dumbphones, but the worrier in me decided I would need some sort of backup in case I am […]

[25] Just Press Pause
When I was little, I naturally wanted to do everything my big sister did. When I started getting into music, I loved listening to a lot fo the things she listened to. Back in those days, most of the music in our house was on cassette tape. One thing my sister had done that intrigued […]
