Don and Peg Doman

My friend Jim picked me up about a quarter to twelve. I suggested we dine at El Sabor across the street from Tacoma Community College. I tried to visit their website, but it had been hacked and Google link took me to information about online casinos. I have run into hacks like this from my […]

Once again, the Tacoma Little Theatre design team of Blake R. York (Master Carpenter), Jen York (Resident Scenic Artist), Frank Roberts (Lead Carpenter) and Gunnar Johnson, Robin Mae Becar, Alyshia Collins, Dana Galagan, and Lissa Valentine (Build & Paint Crew) have given us a beautiful and substantial set.

James Lipton was interviewing Dave Chappelle for Inside the Actors Studio. Dave told about his early career. His first time on stage, he told his jokes while looking down at his shoes and then looking up at the audience. Dave went to school the next day, age 14, and told his friends about being on […]

Peg and I used to enjoy the plays at Harlequin reaching back nearly twenty years. We loved the dramatic productions as well as the musical revues and combinations like Rock N Roll Twelfth Night.

We’ll be booking the […]

I was reading the Seattle Times. Peg was eating breakfast. The phone rang. It was our friend Dennis Flannigan inviting us to join him for lunch. Peg couldn’t make it but I said yes and asked, “Where and when.” Denny answered, “Tibbitts at 11:45.” I replied, “Tibbitts at Fern Hill? Why?” I knew Tibbitts, but […]
