Eastlake High School Drama Team is trying something new this winter.
The Importance of Being Earnest opened Jan. 22 at the Francis J. Gaudette Theatre.
Well, it’s that time of year again. No, I’m not talking about the holidays, I’m referring to that most important and most overlooked of computer maintenance items – removing the dust and debris from inside your computer case.
Kids will be out of school for the holidays in just a few weeks. If you’re looking for a few outdoor options not too far from home, Sammamish and Issaquah both have several kid-pleasing playgrounds worth checking out.
As my great-grandfather Ebenezer Wappler used to tell me, nothing says “Happy Holidays!” like doing the exact same thing, the exact same way every year. From dry turkey to cold gravy, from Uncle Pete telling his favorite jokes to a smooch on the cheek for Grandma, it‘s not the holidays if things change too much, too fast.
I have this philosophy that as we age we put numerous layers on top of us that slow us down in all aspects of life.
If you’re looking for something dull to read but have already completed the phone book, here’s a great choice: The Plum Book.
If music had a color, at Fleming School of Music, that color might be green.
I remember quite well my first Christmas in Sammamish (then unincorporated King County) in 1989. Just after decorating our house in High Country with lights, the snow started falling. It snowed heavily and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest took our breath away.

It’s not as if I need to find reasons to continue indulging in arguably my favorite pastime – surfing the Internet. After all, I surf the Net for a living!
One morning on my way — yet again — to the grocery store, I saw Amazon Fresh in my Sammamish neighborhood. It reminded me of an e-mail I received a few days earlier announcing their online grocery order and delivery service. An hour later, after pushing my shopping cart up and down the aisles, filling it with the things my family needed for the week, and a few too many things we didn’t, and then standing in a seemingly endless checkout line, I decided to take a closer look at that e-mail.
“Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house we go…” Many of us will travel this holiday season, whether it is by plane, train or automobile, for a holiday meal, a few days’ stay with family or friends, or a week’s vacation to celebrate with loved ones. Staying organized with your holiday travel will ensure smooth sailing.
As the first strains of music filtered into the theater, I felt a “tap, tap” on my leg.
