When I was a kid, I believed that our schoolteachers, firefighters, police officers and our veterans were always taken care of. When I got older, I sure did learn a few things. Turns out hey are not always taken care of. In fact, some of them struggle and shouldn't -- even with something simple like a blanket or jacket.
The Central Washington State Fair is on the way. There is always something to see at the fair. The rides, the art, the animals, the awesome fair food and the amazing shows. I am looking forward to every single one of the concerts that the Central Washington State Fair has to offer this year.
The 66th Annual "Naches Sportsmans Days are on the way this weekend (Sept. 9-11)! This is always a good time & lots of fun for the whole family!

The town of Pasco has lifted its juvenile curfew. According to the Tri-City Herald, the City Council dropped the ordinance last week after concluding the 22-year-old curfew was unenforceable and possibly unconstitutional.
The city's action raises a similar question for Yakima.
Since I have had Facebook, I haven't unfriended anybody. To be honest, I never really cared who the heck was on my Facebook. I love seeing everyone's posts, and it makes for some good show prep on air.
Summer is coming to an end. It makes me sad because, I love the warm weather and I love yard sales! Every time I turned a corner on Saturday, August 13th, there was a yard sale! I came upon some fantastic deals but, one yard sale caught my eye. I wasn't just one yard sale, it was the entire block of Summitview and 28th in Yakima!
I have always considered myself a good speller. But since I got into radio, I am not that good anymore. I spell everything phonetically, hoping I can say it right over the air. So now I really can't spell that well at all! Everything communicated on the internet by text or via social networking is quick. Like "WTF" or "OMG" or "LOL!" Kids cannot spell at all these days!
I love when young minds get together and share creativity -- and so does Yakima's Warehouse Theatre Company! They've selected some talented up-and-coming local stars to grace the Akin Center Theatre in Rick Elice's hilarious new Peter Pan sequel, "Peter & The Star Catcher!" It opens this week.
When I was growing up, my mom and dad would take my brother and I out to get hot fudge sundaes all the time. Neither one of us weighed much, so we both got away with it. Weight is catching up to me now, but I still go out for hot fudge sundaes and remember my awesome parents and the great times we had.

I love playing Pokemon Go with my 5-year old daughter, Willow, so when I finally arrived at my office desk this morning, I immediately grabbed the phone and rang up the business to find out "the tea" and get the scoop on all the shenanigans going down this Saturday at Yakima's Emil Kissel Park...
