A tasty little something (I hope!)
So, many of you remember the infamous “Every Day in May” blog war of 2009 between myself and U-B social media guy, Jeremy Gonzalez. Lots and lots of you participated and made the whole thing fun, even when I wanted to grind that boy into dust. It was all worth it when I won by [...]
Souvenirs from the front
Ok, for any newcomers to this blog, Union-Bulletin blogger and Web content producer Jeremy Gonzalez and I engaged in blog warfare for the month of May. “Every Day in May” started like this: U-B Web dude Carlos Virgen noticed my blog was getting some serious traffic in April. (Finally!) Web dude Carlos posted some of [...]
The last hours of an unplanned war
You know why this is coming out so late on the very last night? I mean, most of you won’t even see this until Monday morning and those visits won’t count for the win. Lots of reasons. One, it is TOO HOT at my house, even though the girls and I did wrestle one window [...]
A house is a house, of course, of course
Until you’re looking for a home. Many of us have been where my oldest daughter and her husband are right now — looking for the perfect first house. You know how it is…no matter what your budget, you have every hope that the very first piece of real estate you purchase will fulfill all your [...]
I….need….red….meat
We’re not, as a rule, regular red meat eaters. For starters, the expense is hard to justify, especially at this time of year when the stores crank up the prices for grilling season. Red meat — and by that I really mean steak — requires a little more forethought and prep work to take full [...]
Muffins with Mom

Again, let me laud the school’s librarian for innovation and a positive attitude, given that she can’t even be sure there will be a school library next year. We [...]
Sheila vs. Jeremy Blog war: It’s Back On!
From the Storage Room It’s Probably Not This Simple But…
Haunted, maybe. Haunting, absolutely
Here in Walla Walla, change is coming to a historic icon. What was recently living is about to become memory. Our original Carnegie Library building has, for nearly 40 years, been the home of the Carnegie Art Center. Things have changed, however — the building has aged into an expensive proposition, volunteers are more scarce [...]
My life was saved by a naked man
Ok, folks, I’m not going to lie to you. This blog war is beginning to show. Reporting on swine flu and all of my other beats has made “Every Day in May” feel like “Forever.” I considered just sticking my own favorite YouTube video up here today — and that could still happen — but [...]
Introducing Tracey, whom I’m told favors pink cowboy boots
I asked my blog readers for stories and some of you have been so kind to send things in. It’s not too late for those who have something they’d like to see blogged about, since this Blog War — Every Day in May — has more than three weeks to go. Tracey mentioned her new [...]
