Life was more fun when I was a kid. It was the 1980’s and I lived in an apple orchard. After school, I walked home alone. While I waited for mom to get home from work, I climbed trees and crawled through tunnels

The Oscars are this Sunday March 12th. Every year I try to watch as many of the best picture nominees as possible. It was a much easier feat when there used to only be 5 nominations. Now every year there are 10. It can be a daunting task. I have done fairly well this year,

I have been trying to figure out how I want it styled for quite some time. We have put in new floors. I have hung various posters. I have pop culture figurines. A karaoke system. Classic video game systems. It’s a mish mash of things I love and enjoy. The wall decorations have always been lacking. I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do.

I know it is so simple, but sometimes the purest joy in life is simple and easy. The dog running and playing. The kid bouncing on the trampoline. The smell of food grilling and the sounds of laughter and conversation of good friends, family and loved ones in your happy space.

Right now I am desperately missing riding my bike on the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail, or as us 509 locals call it The Loop. It is a bicycle and pedestrian trail in Wenatchee, WA. It follows 10 miles of the west and east shores of the Columbia River.

A highlight for me was last year in 2022. After the Wenatchee Pride Festival in Wenatchee they had a karaoke event at the Numerica Performing Arts Center. I got to perform on stage at the PAC in front of a wild crowd and it was exhilarating! Easily the best karaoke I have ever done in my life.

I would drive around the barren streets of Wenatchee. Everything felt so quiet and empty, minus the sounds of Dua Lipa blaring from my speakers. I spent a lot of time riding my bike around the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail with my AirPods in. Dua Lipa helped keep me motivated and moving.

My 1st introduction to the album was as a kid growing up in Manson and Lake Chelan. I had Abbey Road on cassette tape. I would put it in my walkman and ride my bike around downtown Manson. Cementing my love for The Beatles forever.

I am going to do a series of my favorite albums of all time. I figured the best place to start was with what might be my favorite album of all time. Ask me any given day and it could 1 of a few different albums, but My Chemical Romance – The Black Parade will always be in the top 5.

The steps to unionizing are simple, though the process can be fraught with stress and panic as your employer will likely fight back and may attempt to illegally retaliate against organizers. Remember that there are laws against this and your employer can be held accountable in a court of law.
