Lennon magic in Olympia

Magic was captured in Olympia Tuesday in the notes to a song that a Steinway & Sons upright piano drew out of John Lennon, a haunting call to peace and love made more poignant after Lennon’s assassination.  Lennon bought the Model Z piano in London in 1970 and composed and recorded

Viva Tacoma!

Once upon a time in Tacoma, Cinco de Mayo meant heading down to the local Mexican establishment and quaffing a grande margarita, on the rocks, no salt, while munching on stale tortilla chips. By now, those stale chips may be a stale memory amid all the other, better activities to choose

Scott Russell

As Scott Russell sauntered down the runway in Bond, James Bond fashion (toy gun in hand), the woman sitting next to me at the Point Defiance Zoo Society Fashion Tea raised her eyebrows in horror. Apparently she’d not been to a Zoobilee, to realize that, in point of fact, Russell was
