Lately I’ve been muttering under my breath, “I hate this place”, as I walk through Red Robin. I really don’t hate it…I love it. I’ve been working there for almost seven years and it is comfortable and it feels like mine. But lately it’s been feeling too comfortable. So comfortable that [...]

I’m itching to find myself in someplace new. I don’t, as many of my neighbors do, involve myself in Spokane-bashing. I love it here. There is magic on this 2 acre plot where I’ve grown up- I can feel it at twilight. But I can feel myself not growing. This [...]
