Last Minute Christmas Shopping at the Flour Mill
It's not always easy being a guy. In what I'm sure is typical guy fashion, I waited until three days before Christmas to do ALL of my shopping and for some reason, it worked out for the best. With an idea in my head and a recommendation from one savvy boss, I headed to Spokane's Flour ...
Snow is Here
Recently I've had an itch and not the kind of itch you can scratch this early in the season. I have been earnestly waiting for the snow to fall and finally, it did. Schweitzer opened the earliest they have in twenty five years. The other reason I have been itching is because I had to ...

Recently, I was lucky enough to get tickets to the Jill and Julia show at The Bing Crosby Theater. Julia Sweeney, Spokane native and Saturday Night Live star, performed along with folk singer Jill Sobule in a unique show featuring Jill's witty song lyrics and guitar strumming alongside ...
The Evolution of 9 to 5
Do you remember typewriters, phones with blinking lights and a hold button? Remember carbon paper? I do! These were the tools of my craft back in the '70's when I started my office career. I also remember how sexual harassment was considered a right to those in power instead of a crime. ...
