Wednesday you say? Hmm..

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:00:00 -0700

Please let there be parking on Ruston Way tonight. I'm a little worried. This time of year coupled with this type of weather usually translates to no parking. I can accept the fact that half of Tacoma decides to drop everything and run to the shores of Commencement Bay every time it is sunny and 70 degrees or more... as long as there is still room for me down there. Wednesday on the Water is alive and well. We will be on the water behind Harbor Lights tonight, as per usual Wednesday activity. Hope to see.. somebody.. More »

Wednesday on the Water

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:40:00 -0700

We should all be familiar with this drill by now, but here goes.. Ladies & Gentlemen, fellow bloggers, kayakers, and News Tribune transplants alike, I would like to remind you all that Wednesday on Ruston Way means a Commencement Bay sailboat array. As we like to say here every week, bring your favorite boat, life preserver and/or surfboard down and hang out in the behind-Harbor-Lights vicinity. Each of you has a choice to make about what you'll do with your Wednesday evenings for the next few months. Find a mirror and take a good, hard look at yourself. Do you have what it takes? More »

SoDo: The bloggers, the myth, the legend

Wed, 21 May 2008 16:54:00 -0700

At the bottom of teh South Tacoma Way you will find the emerging SoDo district of Tacoma. Traveling through the area today, it occurred to me that I should visit a couple establishments I'd yet to see for myself. Friesenburgers is located at 308 E 26th St, just outside the main parking lot entrance to the Tacoma Dome. Think between Freighthouse Square and the Dome and you are right there. I walked in post-peak lunch hour and had the place all to myself. Deep-fried mushrooms were the first thing to catch my eye. There they were at the bottom of the menu, but I just knew they deserved to be at the top. I promptly ordered them. After further consideration, I added a complementary cheeseburger no onions, mostly as an afterthought, and then resumed jabbering to the man behind the counter about my acute obsession for fried mushrooms.

Rock Band

How many of you out there are currently into playing Rock Band? Last night we had a great time with it. I'm truly amazed at how brilliant this game is. Rock Band is currently at my house on loan and when it has to leave, my hand will likely be forced to buy. More »

My Next Life Has Begun

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 09:57:00 -0700

My wife, Linda Pedersen, lost her battle with Pancreatic Cancer on 3/18/08, at home in the afternoon, surrounded by friends and family. We are happy that her suffering has ended. She left us with a smile and for that I am eternally grateful. Those of you who are interested are welcome to attend her memorial at 12:30pm, Tuesday March 25th at Mountain View Funeral Home & Memorial Park at 4100 Steilacoom Blvd. in Lakewood, Washington.

Text Messagers Unite

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 10:06:00 -0800

Anybody else have the sudden urge to rent a car, drive around in circles text messaging everyone you know about absolutely nothing, all-the-while looking to run yellow lights in camera-monitored intersections? If only gas were cheaper, I would seriously consider this. I'll have to settle on The Rose Bowl instead. More »

Married at Last

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 22:19:00 -0800

My world has turned upside down and sideways over the past month. Various unexpected curve balls have been thrown my way, and I finally cracked one over the fence. My lovely bride was diagnosed with cancer a month ago and we married yesterday, exactly one month after the diagnosis. I am happy to be married, and a lucky man to have such a wonderful wife, amazing friends and a loving family. Cancer, or any other disease, can sneak into your life and change everything in an instant. I would like to take this time to wish everyone a happy New Year and to remind everyone to live life to the fullest, every day of your life. I know this sounds like a tired cliché to some of you; YOU are exactly the people I'm addressing. Believe me, most people would not believe that I am the one penning this entry. More »

Anyone else been tricked by the N 26th & Stevens detour game? It probably only works at night when you can't see very far. More »
