Can’t We All Just Get A Lawn?

Looking for a place to live in Seattle isn’t that easy. It’s not just because the vacancy rate on rentals is impossibly low right now and every rental seems to have multiple bidders, but because it’s tough to find just the right place. I admit that...

A Story Worth Sharing.

In the world of marketing, communication, public relations and the web, the big buzz word these days is “story.” What is the story? How do we tell our story? Is there a story to tell? The buzz list goes on and on. Stories are hip these days. I, of course,...

Fiction? My Whole Life Is!

I have a confession to make. While I love to read, I don’t read fiction. Over the span of my lifetime, I have perhaps read less than 50 books that were fiction. I managed to make it through The Old Man and the Sea but never could mount an assault on any one of...

It’s Somewhere Between Here and There.

As I’ve told you, I’ve moved a lot over the years. I can’t even count the number of times on all the fingers and toes. Some of these moves had to happen very, very quickly, given my often poor choices in my love life. Others were far more...

I Think I’ve Missed Something Here.

I’ve been back in Seattle permanently for what, about 13 days now. Sure, I’ve straddled the coasts for some time, but now that my stuff is actually heading this way, it’s time to feel at home. Well, at home again, I should say. I must say, I’ve...

Can’t Someone Just Drop A House On Me?

I have been searching for a place to live in Seattle. This used to never be a problem. You could get a place with no effort at all, landlords would beg you to move in, often offering you money off on your first month’s rent or even free rent. But since...

Weather Or Not.

I seem to be weather blind. Perhaps it’s because I had lived in Florida for eight years. Perhaps it’s because I’m from Seattle where you just don’t expect it to ever be nice. But when it comes to weather, I’m a bit well, agnostic. While...

Match.arf

Having been off the dating circuit for a while, I no longer have to spend my days looking for love in all the wrong places. While I know online dating sites have benefited many, my own efforts were a bit hit and miss, largely because I would see things in a profile...

Where The Auction Is.

My memoirs have brought back a lot of memories for me and it’s been fun to share them with the world, including my friends, many of whom are in it, usually for good reasons. While I was still in Port Orchard, living the vida loca in Washington State, I started...

Get Off Me!!!!

I did one of my rare shopping trips to the grocery store recently. I guess I haven’t been to a store for a while. Either that, or it’s the first time I noticed that there was a container of sanitary wipes by the shopping carts. Well, not sanitary wipes,...
