Tunes and Improve

Comedy hasn't evolved much since the glory days of ventriloquist and puppet. Every so often, there's a Gallagher smashing watermelons or a musical funnyman like Jack Black, but for the most part, comedy is a dude on a stage with a microphone, plodding through a joke-punch line-new joke routine. Boring! Well,

You’ve got to love Frida Kahlo — if not for her art, then for her outrageous sense of style and her superhuman courage. “Frida Kahlo: Images of an Icon” at the Tacoma Art Museum is not so much about Kahlo the artist as it is about Kahlo the woman. There are

The Big Cheese

Whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not, the grilled cheese sandwich was likely one of the first loves for most American children. Yes, parents rank up there as well. But grilled cheese sandwiches — with their gooey cheese center and their crispy, warm toasted exterior — stand

Fun for one on Valentine's Day

I’m very nearly 38, overweight, and temporarily single. Not, like, buying new underwear and low-cut tops single, but, like, eating microwaveable food while hovering over the sink musing over Valentine’s Day prospects single. So here are my thoughts. I have no desire to meet anyone, mind

Urban Spelunker: Ruston/Point Defiance Park

Point Defiance PARK and Ruston are perfect examples and just a few of the reasons that Tacoma is so rad. Sweeping waterfront views and fabulous patio dining options paired with kayak, parasailing and picnic areas define the town of Ruston, making it a prime destination for a casual stroll, lunch

Joint Base Lewis-McChord kayak fishing

Some people are habitual runners, others race bikes and a few even climb mountains to get that rush of adrenaline; but have you heard of kayak fishing? "This is why I fish ... sometimes I catch fish, often times I get skunked, sometimes I make memories that will haunt me for
