From Guest Blogger Liz:
I placed an order with AmazonFresh on Wednesday and I was pleasantly surprised with the transaction, and thought I’d share. The fresh produce arrived before 6 AM on Thursday; clean and packaged nicely. Aside from fruits and vegetables, I bought some prosciutto and Italian sausages (they arrived in a temperature-controlled bag with […]

One of the things I really want to do more of in 2008 is play more golf.  It’s felt like Spring in the Pacific Northwest the past few days, with temperatures soaring into the 60’s. Driving around Bellevue and Seattle I’ve noticed multiple courses with numerous groups out enjoying the weather. 
I suppose the other […]

Sunny summer evenings in Kirkland usually means crowds, traffic, more traffic, and long searches for parking spots. It’s a busy spot with the beach parks, lots of restaurant options, a marina, and a generally pedestrian friendly feel. The final stop on our tour of the trio of Italian restaurants in Kirkland will encourage Seattlites to […]

There’s some nice coverage anticipating Ken Griffey Jr’s return to Seattle in the Times today - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2003753289_griffey19.html.
I’m actually looking forward to this too and would like to be there on Friday when Griffey comes back to Seattle for the first time since he last played here in 99. Griffey was easily my childhood hero […]

I’m back on the Mariners bandwagon after reading that they swept the Padres this weekend - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2003742793_mari11.html
Could baseball finally be exciting again in Seattle? Will Beltre and that tall overpaid first baseman finally start earing thier money? Is Jose Lopez the best young second baseman in baseball? How good can Felix be this year? […]

Some might call it posturing, but I’d rather call it what it is - Lying.

Clay Bennett continues to show the Sonics fans and residents of Washington that he can not be trusted by his constant lying about his intentions. In turn, Howard Schultz should not be trusted either -remember when Schultz said that he […]

Check out my contribution to the Seattlest from last Friday - Seattlest.

Every year it seems that Bubble talk and speculation starts creeping further and further forward in the College Basketball Season. What is a bubble? Who’s on the bubble now? How can you get off the bubble? Why call it a bubble? Is Gonzaga on the bubble after losing 3 games in conference? Is UW on […]

From Jim Moore of the PI:
“When I play, I play,” he (Ditka) said. “I don’t play 18, I play 36, all day long. If I never played another round of golf, I’ll have played more than any other man ever played.”
Big game for the Hawks in Chicago this weekend. Luckily, Ditka will be at ESPN […]

Today, the NW took center stage on the national sports scene. Its always great to see a couple local stories on the ESPN home page which is usually cluttered with coverage of the overhyped teams from New York or clowns from the great state of Texas. Here’s why today mattered for the NW:
1. the Seattle Seahawks squaked […]

Tonights UW/Gonzaga game is a big deal in Seattle and Spokane and across the state of Washington.  And, its become an increasingly big deal nationally with both teams ranked in the top 25 over the past 2 meetings.  Andy Katz of ESPN.com contributed a solid article on the state of in-state out of conference rivalries, […]

Every fall, as the NBA jumps into the sports scene on the heels of another ho-hum World Series, I ask “who cares?”
For whatever reason, the NBA just doesn’t much interest me anymore.  Actually, I don’t think it has since the Celtics were good. Here is why:

Individual games don’t matter. They play 82 games, and between […]

Today felt like fall in Seattle.  I love and fear the transitional time between seasons here.  Depending on how you look at it, fall in Seattle is either a really short period of time (a few weeks in October) or a really long period of time combined with spring (October thru June).  I like to […]

Another fun wedding weekend is in the books.  Some highlights:
