How're ya feelin'? I was born and raised right here in Yakima. Though I moved away for about 10 years I found my way back and glad I did. I love to cheerlead new restaurants and businesses coming to town. Also a fan of craft beer, being we live in the hop capital of the world. #ShopLocal #DrinkLocal I have three amazing kids, love breakfast cereal and am a huge retro gamer. I love new video games, too, but have a deep appreciation for the classics on systems like NES and Sega Genesis.

Internet Freaking Out for New 2-in-1 Washer and Dryer Combo Machine
I remember growing up we had a clothesline in our backyard. Although we did have a dryer next to our washing machine, my mom would often opt to hang clothes out to dry for that natural air-dried freshness. As a kid, I remember it was fun to kind of 'play' in the lightly damp, yet fresh scented sheets...
We Need to Incorporate Fresh Fruit Into Our Burgers More. Lemme Explain…
Think about the perfect burger.
Now, this is the perfect burger in your mind.
You might think an all-beef patty, cheese, maybe even more than one cheese, bacon, lettuce, different condiments and all that. Pickles or, if you're my friend Adam, 100% absolutely no pickles...
If You Need a New Breakfast Idea, Consider Making a Waffle Board
I was looking at the menu of a restaurant in a hotel in Spokane when something attracted my attention. It was simply titled a Waffle Board. I do love waffles but always figure waffles are often smothered in butter and syrup or sometimes fresh fruit and berries and all that...
Waffles Caffe in Yakima Puts Ice Cream on Your Waffles. You’re Welcome
The other day it was my oldest's birthday. They chose our breakfast destination and opted for Waffles Caffe. It's a place I've loved ever since they came to Yakima but, admittedly, I hadn't been here for a little while so I was happy to return...
This Macabre Store in Spokane is Creepy, Kooky, Mysterious and Spooky
As we were walking the streets of Spokane we ran across this store that had a cool store front. It intrigued us enough to have to want to take a peek inside to see what they had. If the stuff in the store window was enough of a tease, they had to have some cool stuff on the inside, too...

After Attending the Lilac Parade in Spokane, Yakima Needs to Step Up their Game [PHOTOS]
I was in Spokane over the weekend for something unrelated but when I arrived we quickly learned it was the same weekend as the Armed Forces Torchlight Parade as part of their Lilac Festival. Now, I've seen several parades, I've been in several parades, I've driven and walked in several parades and have even announced several parades but all of that parade experience didn't prepare me for how huge
Moses Lake is Home to One of the Coolest Bistros that Makes it Worth the Trip
Moses Lake is a neat town that I don't stop in as often as I should. I drive past it all the time and maybe swing by a gas station off the side of the road every once in a while as needed, but it's usually just a landmark on my traveling...
Eisenhower High School’s ‘One Acts’ is a Must See This Weekend
I'm a dad of a couple of Ike students. They like being involved in high school products like musicals and anything else they can join in on. When they told me they were going to audition and, thus, land roles in a student projection I was very happy for them...
