I think I'm a bit of both. Last night we had the pleasure of attending the Pacific Northwest Ballet's Stowell & Sendak version of The Nutcracker. If you remember him, Maurice Sendak was the children's author/illustrator who is best known for his book, Where the Wild Things Are. The sets/artwork for the ballet were really…

I was giving my friend a hard time recently about how all of his favorite musical artists/groups are not of the female gender. This is not exactly a nice thing for me to do (i.e. make fun of him) because I was the one who asked him to tell me some of his favorite albums,…

I haven’t mentioned baseball too much this year AND maybe that has proved to be the winning formula for my Seattle Mariners. They are rolling! I am probably jinxing them with this post, but oh well, you have to brag while the bragging is good. The Mariners recently swept the Boston Red Sox in a…
