My Addiction – Gotta Dance, Gotta Sing…
Apr 12I recently caught an NPR interview with Dr. Gabor Mate, a best-selling writer and physician who specializes in additions. Fascinating! As I listened to him describe the signs of addiction, I thought of mine. Certainly, there is no doubt about it, I am a workaholic, but I haven’t been diagnosed as a musicaholic and danceaholic. I know “fer sure, dude,” I am addicted. Recently, I...
I found friend-makers. Need a friend?
Mar 29
Seriously, I was looking at the past 4- 5 events, I presented and or attended. The cool people I met and have stayed in touch with are the ones I sold the PersonalCameraCrew or the FlashBadge to. Coincidence? No. I guess, if you are excited about something, your personality is put on the stage. Even though cool gadgets are currently less than 1% of my business they are total friend-makers. I see...
Rock of Ages Show at the Paramount
Feb 10

I donned my 11th grade dual toned taffeta dress I designed and my mother sewed. For my material girl performance, I was rewarded with tickets to Rock of Ages. The show costuming was incredible. Do you remember the airline carryon bags...

Do you remember the High-Fivin’ White Guys?
Dec 01
Back in the 80s, Seattle had a local comedy, evening show called Almost Live. Great show. It often made fun of Ballard. Some of the folks we know are here in Seattle like Producer, Bill Stainton and Tracey Conway. The show had a lot of inside jokes connecting with the people live in our communities. Do you remember this sketch, the High-Fivin’ White Guys? I cannot find the one, I want to...
Portable sound has changed
Nov 17
After cleaning out the garage, guess what I found? Big contraptions we used to call “ghetto blasters.” Do you believe we called them this without even thinking about it’s name? I can’t believe these devices are huge. Two foot by ten inches by ten inches were our “portable music solutions.” With one cd player/tape deck/radio and one tape deck this takes up...
