I wasn’t always living the dream. Yes, it’s true. I know it might sound crazy to some, but there was a time — not all that long ago, even — when I didn’t have cable (gasp!). Life was simpler back then. Options were fewer, and I came to love Antique Road Show on PBS. How much is this piece of crap worth? Let’s find out! This was my tube watching thought pattern on most nights back then.

On Saturday at the Museum of Glass, longstanding and well-respected non-profit Tacoma Community House, which was established in 1910 and provides services to refugees, immigrants, and English speaking adults and youth, will hold its Third Annual Antique Quest and Wine Fest. Expect food from around the world, plenty of wine, live music, and — oh hell yes! — antique appraising.

I might camp out early for a good spot.
