GEARING UP FOR A SUMMER WITH THE WENATCHEE APPLESOX
I know, we’re ankle deep in snow and Wenatchee Wild games, but I’m already dreaming of warm summer days and heading over to Paul Thomas Sr. Field for another season with the Wenatchee AppleSox. How odd was seeing an AppleSox post on Instagram with a bunch of photos of the stadium seats covered in snow. It’s like when two seasons collide!
THE TINY TOWN: Skykomish
And then there are really small towns. Like Skykomish, here in the state of Washington. The tiny town has a total area of 0.33 square miles. Its current population is about 160 people. The population peaked in the 1930’s when the census count was 562. You can almost fit the whole population into the town’s favorite local pub called, Whistling Post Saloon. Where when the train cruises by and blows the whistle…they serve up free shots.
BIZARRE DRINK COMBOS YOU CAN GET IN WENATCHEE
If you’ve ever watched the old 70’s/80’s TV show, Laverne & Shirley, their favorite beverage was milk and Pepsi. Today it’s known as a dirty soda. Perhaps you recently saw Pepsi’s holiday campaign featuring Lindsay Lohan with their Pepsi and milk commercial, calling the drink, Pilk. It sounds gross, but I finally tried it....and it wasn’t bad.
COME FLY WITH ME: Out of Wenatchee (More Than Once A Day)
It was one of the bigger stories here in the Wenatchee Valley in 2022. And it frustrated many trying to fly out of Pangborn Airport for business, family affairs, vacations, or for those who just enjoy sitting closely to others in very tiny uncomfortable seats on an airbus.
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION: 2023 Will Be Different in Wenatchee
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a workaholic. I love what I do. It gives me the opportunity to be creative in so many ways. But when I look back at all the things I did in 2022, there were less than a handful of fun things that I did. And they were all work related. I rarely got out. I get out out bed, head into work. After work, I go home, take a shower, go to bed. Are you like me? Eek! I hope not. Maybe you’re not as bad as me. So how can we make a change? It all boils down to two things.
MY INTERVIEW WITH FATHER TIME: A Year in Review
This was an interview I’ve been looking forward to all year. I tried to get a few words with him in his younger days. Of course as the Baby New Year, it was all incomprehensive gaga-googoo gibberish. In his teen days, it was hard to pin him down, for his time is limited. But now that his time is coming to a close, he had something to say. Although his words were few, and sometimes speaking gibberish much like when he was the Baby New Year of 2022.
COULD SANTA CLAUS COME TO TOWN….FOR GOOD?
I wonder if Washington state officials have thought about making an offer to convince Kris Kringle Corparation to pack the bags and move the whole operation to the Evergreen State?
WHERE ARE YOU SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
It’s another year, and I found myself once again at work with the sudden realization that we’re only days away from Christmas. Holy cats! It was just Halloween! Wait. Did I miss Thanksgiving? When we were kids, it took forever for Christmas morning to arrive! But as adults?
YOU’VE HEARD OF ELF ON THE SHELF…
We all know about the endearing or creepy Elf on the Shelf. The popularity of the stuffed childhood red or green elf resurged back in 2005 after Carol Aebersold and her daughter, Chanda Bell published the book, Elf on the Shelf. A story about the scout elves that are watching to see if we’re naughty or nice. And when you’re not looking, they would fly back to the North Pole and report back to Santa.

THE SMALL THINGS MAKE BIG DIFFERENCES
If you’ve ever lived in the heart of Seattle or New York, or San Francisco, you know how difficult it can be to find parking. Especially during the holidays. And then once you’ve found a spot, holy cats! There’s th...
