Best albums of 1974 3
Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing that can be said for this list is that its creator was not afraid to include some pop stuff and it isn't just a painfully esoteric compilation of obscurity. http://rateyourmusic.com/list/justarunner/25_best_albums_of_1974/

Sighted: First slug of 2014 1
The neighbor's cat stopped by for a snack this afternoon. She polished off most of her treats. It's a two-paper-plate operation on the back porch. A bit later, she was ready for a little more. It was then I noticed that a decent sized slug…
Annoying Newsroom Behavior No. 58
I once worked for an editor whose wife would walk through the newsroom and hand out invitations to social gatherings. The thing is, not everyone received the invites. It was sort of "One for you...one for you...one for you...NOT YOU...one for you...NOT YOU..." Call me…

Your neighbors' religious affiliations
Do you know? Do you care? When I was a kid, I could have told you pretty much where everyone on our block went to church. If, that is, they went to church at all. It was not a big deal. But I knew. Now?…

Today is the late Tom Foley's birthday
You are entitled to your own opinion about his public policy positions. But I was always awed by one of his more personal accomplishments. He once lost weight at the same time he gave up smoking.
Is this how you pictured the Northwest?

Annoying Newsroom Behavior No. 57 2
An editor I worked with long ago once told me that visiting the men's room just isn't the same after you become someone people lobby about their department's needs and pester about pet projects.

Annoying Newsroom Behavior No. 56
I once worked at a paper where one of the guys in sports saved himself the trouble of learning new co-workers' names by simply addressing everyone -- males anyway -- as "coach." This was a couple of years before "Cheers" was on TV. Or it…

The part of the story that gets left out
There are people of a certain age who enjoy suggesting that kids today tend to be greedhead whiners. What they seem to forget is that some of these same people made their parents' lives a living hell with constant nagging about the all-important need to…
One reader's idea for a band name 1
Coeur d'Alene's Lisa Thompson listens to TV traffic reports on weekday mornings. And she has decided that "I-90 and the Arterials" would be a good name for a band. Yes, but what kind of music would they play?
