Fish on Friday was not a thing in our house when I was a kid, but I remember lunches at school on Friday serving fish.

Some times people will come up to me and say, “That’s a true Washingtonian right there! Being able to handle cold weather wearing shorts!” Actually, I’m a warm climate beach boy from SoCal.

We are just a few days away from celebrating St. Patrick’s Day! Are you ready?? Do you have all of your green gear? Green treats, green everything right? There’s a super fun parade that will take place in Cashmere WA.

We may have found a true ghost town in Govan, Washington just off highway 2, not far from the Tiny Town that we explored earlier, Wilbur. Although ask the gentleman who actually lives in Govan (pronounced go-van), he has never seen any supernatural phenomenon. More on him later.

The Oscars are this Sunday March 12th. Every year I try to watch as many of the best picture nominees as possible. It was a much easier feat when there used to only be 5 nominations. Now every year there are 10. It can be a daunting task. I have done fairly well this year,

I recently went home, and while driving around my childhood neighborhood, I’d listen to songs from my Wonder Years that reminded of my first love. My best friends. My family. Emotions hit me hard. Sometimes wishing was 12 years old again. Yep. I cried.

Yeah, We know when we live in a small town. And for the most part, we love it. Sure we don't have a few things that we would love to see come to Wenatchee. We've talked about before. But there are a few other signs. And we like to make fun of ourselves for it.

Happy Hour, something I actually grew up knowing about. Every weekday from 4p-6p my dad always visits our local waterhole in Pateros, sit down with the good ole boys and have a nice cold one or two. Actually, I didn’t know it was called “Happy Hour,” I just thought from 4p-6p that it was “dads going to town time.”

Ever sit back and wonder on a Monday afternoon, “Hmm, would be really nice to go hang with some cool people and get out of the house for a few.” I have the perfect solution for you!

With each successful business, many have mottos that they live by. Within our jobs, and even in our personal lives, it’s about the culture that makes the best work environment. There’s nothing like being positively encouraged and uplifted. I’ve worked at places where I’ve said, “It’s like family here”.
