May 2009The building gives nothing away. But inside a stark metal structure in Everett, volunteers are re-creating beautiful things and rediscovering their younger days. It's 7 a.m., and I timidly offer my 2-year-old daughter a bowl of oatmeal. It's a combination that will either make your mouth water with anticipation, or recoil with repugnance. I, for one, am salivating. And apparently, so are many of you. The marriage of two favorite food groups -- vodka and bacon -- is a dream come true for people who would rather spend their time mixing a cocktail than slaving over a hot stove when it comes to breakfast. ...Federal Fish and Wildlife agents are investigating whether a cow found dead near Twisp is the first victim of the state's newly established wolf pack. It's a question I ask my children a gazillion times a day. "Did you wash your hands?" That's usually followed by, "Did you wash your hands with soap?"

It's the start of another camping season, and ours is a camping family. It started with my Dad in an unusual way. Pharmacies CAN do something about the crime wave that's sweeping across the state. I say that with confidence, because they've done it before. Just two days after the Mariners hosted "Turn Back the Clock Night" at Safeco, the weather is following suit. You won't get a vintage Seattle Rainiers hat, but you need to hang on to whatever hat you are wearing or else it will get blown off. No one likes a liar, especially when it comes to your own child. It's hard not to be disappointed when you catch your kid in a lie, but parenting experts say lying is actually a normal part of childhood.
