In July, I’ll have been at The Herald for three years. I keep thinking about Dan laughing at me the other day. We talk on the phone about once a month, after everything. The conversation always trails on for an hour, maybe two. Best friends, you know. The last time, he asked about my life-plans. […]

Important interview notes
In the breaking news business, we do a lot of checking on incidents that turn out to be … nothing. I often take notes during casual work phone calls absent-mindedly, if I know it’s something I don’t need to write 4,000 inches about. Sometimes, when I find them later, they seem silly. These were my […]

Schlumpy
I admit it … I’ve been schlumpy, like I never broke the spell of the grumpy-pants holiday season. It was a crazy couple of weeks at work, and not just from investigative stories and the layoffs and last week’s sale announcement. More than that, even.

Big news, in ways
Last night, after we learned that our newspaper had been sold to another company, a bunch of us newsroom folks went to a local eatery for food and drinks. I sipped iced tea and listened to the chatter that is now so routine. Stories about Everett in the 1980s. Editors long gone, reporters too. Funny […]

Seafood with faces
I had to run a work errand to south county last week. Afterward, I stopped and grabbed lunch to-go at 99 Ranch Market, the Asian grocery emporium along Highway 99 in Edmonds. I’d never been before. It’s huge! I was in a rush and needed to get back to the newsroom, but I definitely want […]

Ridealong to Stevens Pass
A photog and I spent a day earlier this month with WSP and WSDOT at snowy Stevens Pass, about an hour east of Everett along U.S. 2. You can read the story and see the photos here or watch Mark’s video about avalanche control here. It was a fun day. Here are my cell shots:

Family visit
My family visited Thursday night: Janie, Levi, Raven and Spud. It was wonderful. They came in typical my-family fashion: not confirming they were actually coming until three hours before arrival. It was late, and we didn’t get to do much. Mostly hung out and watched Netflix before bed. I had to work the next morning. […]

Winter adventure to Mukilteo
On Saturday, the boy and I hiked Japanese Gulch in Mukilteo and stopped in Old Town for a bit. It was an OK hike, not terribly challenging but a nice little pocket of nature in south county, next to Paine Field. The signage in the area wasn’t too helpful, and I’m pretty sure we accidentally […]

Staying at my married friends’ house in south county always makes me think about the first night I stayed here: the night before my job interview at The Herald in late June 2010. It seems like a long time ago, not that long ago. Not that long ago, a long time ago. I can’t decide. I’d […]
