A favorite place for lunch or dinner is El Sabor, just across the street from Tacoma Community College on Mildred Street. I know they have a wide variety of food selections, but when it comes down to the basic meal, we always order the same thing. There must be a great lure for students at TCC. […]
Pizza Napoletana – Pizza on Wheels Review
About ten years ago Peg and I booked a room in downtown Seattle. We had heard about the resident restaurant with New Orleans French-style cooking. On a Friday evening the place was already packed. We took seats at the counter where a busy cook was preparing pizza with fresh dough and veggies, meats and cheese. […]

Rowing, Repairing, Sailing, and Catching the Wind
I’m sure we always think our fathers are a little weird when we’re growing up and then we sometimes think our children are a little weird when we’re raising them. That thought crossed my mind as I sat in my car waiting for my wife Peggy to get some allergy shots from her doctor. I […]
