Hi there, the curtains were made at Designers Edge in Calgary from a fabric in their design centre.
Hi! We got this light fixture from Cartwright Lighting in Calgary, Alberta. The manufacturer is DVI Lighting and it is part of their Milan series. Thank

Dining Room Makeover
I'vebeen told a black shaded chandelier does not gtive off good light.
Any idea where the light over the dining table is from? thanks!
on the fabric of the shade. This fabric is fairly shear, so the light does shine through. With this particular fixture the light is meant to bounce off
off the hanging crystals and light the table below as opposed to lighting the whole room. This makes the dining experience more intimate.
from Eurofase lighting. It is an oval fixture and compliments a rectangular table beautifully! Anne Vernon Rooms & Blooms

Talon Private Capital is the new cat in town that is poised to re-develop Kirkland Park Place. It's hard to believe, I know, and somebody will have to pinch me when they actually break ground which is going to be BEST CASE scenario March of 2016. Bill Pollard , Founding Principal, was at our neighborhood meeting a few nights ago and even though he only had about 20 minutes on the agenda, I thought it was SO exciting I wanted to share the highlights:
-Prudential, who owns KPP, allowed them to start from scratch instead of starting with Touchstone's previous plan
-This version is scaled back
-There WILL be a new movie theater- think upscale/iPic-like in current QFC location. This part makes me giddy. Seriously. You had me at 'movie theater.'
-650K sf office space, 200K retail, 300K apartments, and NO hotel.
-A new QFC twice the size latest/greatest will still anchor (moving to different location on site)
-Restaurants, also some pop- up ones on the 2nd floor w/view of the lake
-Multi-family apartments for rent (our geo has demand for more 2-3 bedrooms than most)
-100 surface parking spots, rest are sub-terrain
-Focus on walk-ability, there's even a little U-Village-like lane w/slow traffic, open courtyard feel
It's early in the process, they are still working with the city and have not yet hired an architect or gone through the Design Review Process. The next meeting is the Planning Committee's Study Session at City Hall on 12/11 at 7pm if you have input. Questions can be directed to Natalie Price at firstname.lastname@example.com. I love that they are getting out and talking to all of the neighborhoods (when is your next nhood assoc mtg??). And did I mention there will be a movie theater? ;-)
That's right. I said the word "Christmas Tree" in mid-November. BEFORE Thanksgiving. Cause I'm crazy like that.
The Kirkland Kiwanis will be selling Christmas trees, fragrant wreaths, See's Candies and gourmet nuts at Juanita Beach Park starting on Friday Nov 28th, which is the day after Thanksgiving. The hours are Mon-Fri 11am-8pm and Sat/Sun 10am-7pm and ALL proceeds go to support local community projects.
Kiwanis is also sponsoring a donation drive for Eastside Baby Corner now through Dec 14th. EBC strives to help over 500 local children each week. Their biggest need is for powdered forumula, baby food, diapers/pull-ups, blankets and bedding, warm coats, clothes and shoes. Merrill Gardens of Kirkland (201 Kirkland Ave) is the drop-off location if you are able to help out.
This Saturday Nov 22nd, Christmas-time is coming to Kirkland. It's a favorite for everyone seeing the lights , greens, and having the cow/coyote in their Santa reds. But we need more elves to help with the transformation! At 8am on Sat everyone is meeting at Merrill Gardens (14 Main Street) to get fueled up with some coffee and donuts and receive their work assignments. Nothing starts off the holiday spirit like donating a few hours of your time and meeting old and new friends for this community effort. It's helpful to bring gloves, wire cutters and a ladder if you have them. The more hands on deck, the sooner we can all celebrate with pizza afterwards (noon-ish?).
Hope to see you there. Please sign-up at 425-822-7066 so Santa can assemble the elves accordingly. :-)
I'm out to lunch on a Friday with a couple of girlfriends and where better to meander afterwards than the newest boutique in downtown Kirkland?? Let some ladies put it to the test. And so we did.
Everything about this place is clear, intentional and upbeat. From the electric turqoise and gold dots on the wall to the comfortable smiles and positive energy bubbling over from the staff, you kind of want to stay in there and rummage around. It feels FUN. And obviously, my friends are fun, so by the time we are in there 10 minutes we are all swapping clothes in dressing rooms and employees (thanks Brie!) are rushing into the back to open boxes of new finds for us. Even though I feel like my butt is a giant Hween sized Baby Ruth right now, I still managed to find a pair of Kut from the Kloth black leggings ($79) that were so comfortable I would even wear them IN my house on a dark Tues at 4:30. And a cool necklace ($23) I can't wait to have someplace to wear it to. Fun colorful items- layering pieces and statement ones too and plenty of accessories in between. There were lots of helpful staff that love styling and verbally embraced every newcomer in the shop. Best part-- totally affordable AND a portion of proceeds gets donated. Even sweaters were $40-60.
Enough of my rambling, here is some brilliantly crafted feedback from my uber-fun shopping partners:
"The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how friendly the sales girls were. Great attitudes, cute outfits. They weren't pushy but kindly suggestive and helpful. When certain things didn't work, they suggested different options, and in fact I ended up buying things I didn't even see on the floor - they just brought them to me. The black pants made me so happy, I did a little dance. The employees really enjoyed our girlfriend "banter" and engaged with us. The shop itself is darling...interesting decor and good music. I was also surprised by the reasonable price-point. Good mix of merchandise, appealing to a diverse age group. Very fun experience. " ~Christi (trainer, boat dancer, arm flailer, football/beer lover)
"Purpose Boutique, I had no intentions of buying anything when I walked in to Purpose. I was just looking with some friends. The prices and quality of the clothing was so attractive I couldn't resist and the staff was so helpful, going in the back to find different colors and sizes until I found what I wanted. I will definately shop there again." ~Erica (sports mom extraordinaire, British golf wizard, future stand-up comedian)
"Shopping is usually self-serving, but not at Purpose. Donating to non-profits and partnering with organizations to help women who suffer from poverty or exploitation is reason enough to visit and support this boutique!" ~Footie (professional carpooler, wardrobe re-vamper, water polo champion, creator of sunshine)
The City of Kirkland's Emergency Management team is excited launch two social media channels for us to follow. Hurry up and "Like" and "follow" them on Facebook and Twitter. The intent is to help raise awareness and better prepare our community for hazards.

The Cow & Coyote (photo) in the center of downtown are helping to kick off the announcement of the T-shirt contest. No, not a wet t-shirt contest, a 'win a t-shirt' contest. Very different. From Weds 11/12 to Sun 11/16, go to their Facebook page or Tweet them an answer to the question, "What should the Cow & Coyote put in their emergency kit?" Winners announced on Monday 11/17.
Just because it gets dark at 4:30 doesn't mean we can hide in our sweatpants until springtime (..says the girl in her cozies curled in front of her computer). We need some compelling reasons to get out, like maybe some free stuff? Here are some opportunities this week. Go ahead, put on your 'good' boots and head out the door this Thurs, Fri, Sat...

Thank goodness- a break in the rain! Let's hope it's a sunny one for our Turkey Trot this year.
That day happens on to be on Sunday Nov 23rd. For those of you new to trotting, this is a beloved fundraiser for Hopelink where we run, walk, trot, gobble our way thru 5K (roughly 3 miles) from Marina Park to Carillon Point and back.

-Reg is $25-40/ per person depending on how many (team/indiv) and when (sooner is better) you register. Watch out, Team Rabuchin is 6 people strong this year. And I need to start training now so I can keep up with my 11 year old. I wish I were kidding but I'm not.
-Strollers and pets are free.

Did this arrive in your mailbox recently and you were wondering what it was?
A neighborhood magazine formerly known as "West of Market, Kirkland Living" is expanding to include residents of Market, Norkirk, Moss Bay, Lakeview and Houghton and is now called "Kirkland Living." It shows up right in your mailbox! The free monthly publication is focused on being a community newsletter and includes content such as events, a featured family, featured home and landscapes, pet pick of the month and young achievers. Most of the writing and photography is contributed by local Kirklanders. It's fun, it's close and it's neighborhood-y. For those of you in the mailing area, you can also join this Facebook page.
The publisher, Heidi Hawkins, grew up moving around a lot and feels she missed out on the strong tie of community spirit that many of us in Kirkland enjoy. She will often organize complimentary events at local restaurants and thrives on the sense of togetherness that she can help bring through the magazine. She's always open to story ideas and can be contacted at email@example.com or 206-291-7771. ~j
I don't know if I have ever had Peruvian food before?? Last Monday night was filled with many anxious Kirklanders that were curious to experience the much-anticipated opening of Wyraqocha. It's a cozy, crisp and colorful dining room with an open kitchen nestled right on Central Way. We were greeted by Cyndy, one of the owners, whose warmth and kindness is tangible. After she sat us, my 11 year old whispered to me, " I really LIKE her." Then I had to explain how she's an east coaster like her mom ;-).
I ordered a Pisco Sour which is a delicious South American cocktail. It's on the sweeter side, like me... N-O-T. So I might classify this as a chick drink, but very good nonetheless. As for food, we tried tastes of many things- an advantage to bringing the whole family! We nibbled on tequenos (fried cheese/avocado puree), ceviche (a generous portion on the halibut), lomo saltado (beef stir fry), Classic Causa (beautiful stack of whipped potato, crab, avocado, tomato and egg). Everything was a fusion of flavors- mild but tasty. The kids also loved everything we ordered (no kids menu) and we practically had to restrain them from eating everything in sight before we had a chance to try.
We were seated near the open kitchen, and it was entertaining to watch the flames erupt into the air as the cooks hustled to get food orders out. Still working out the kinks of newness, the timing will get better. The staff was all super friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is one that makes you want to hang around. Our family had a lot of fun together that evening experiencing a new place and different tastes. I'd recommend you try this new addition to Kirkland too! They are still figuring out their hours so may give a jingle first. Reservations for parties of 6+ only. Dinner only right now. 425-602-7397 ~j
And you thought that I never leave downtown Kirkland, didn't ya? Here's a little gem I wanted to share. MOD Skin and Body is unassumingly tucked into a strip mall between LA Fitness and QFC on Juanita Drive. Not relaxed yet? You will be. Owners Polly Tabares (photo) and Clair Gehrt have carefully put together their space to have a serene comfort and warmth that will greet you with welcoming arms. They even made the chevron wood wall behind Polly in the photo!
Down the hall, my awaiting room was a thin and dimly lit space with a giant wood dresser and soft sheets on the bed. I would spend the next 80 minutes zoning in and out of consciousness as Sarah's magical hands applied layers of lotions to my face, dècolletè, hands and even my feet. That's right- no joke. I was not dreaming, this facial actually started with a foot rub and warm wraps on my tired paws. We cleansed, we microdermed, we exfoliated and extracted and nourished and moisturized. And at the very end was my all-time favorite (I need to teach my kids to do this for me)....the head rub. The one where the person is not scared to stick their hands into your hair and use the pads of their fingers to press on those pressure spots on your scalp. Really good stuff.
MOD has a great lineup of massage therapy offerings and also body/facial/skincare treatments including botox, fillers, and laser services. They also carry Bare Minerals, which I use and love and was happy to discover I will no longer have to drive to BSquare to purchase. Polly has been in the industry for over 20 years and loves to educate clients, while being able to offer clinical services in a comfortable environment. Spa hours are Mon-Fri 9am-7pm, Sat 9-5, Sun 10-4. 425-406-8455, firstname.lastname@example.com
You are invited to the MOD Skin and Body Anniversary Party on November 14th from 4-7pm. There will be complimentary micro-facials, make-up lessons, chair massages, gift bags and even some fun giveaways too! Happy hr botox, filler, gift certificate and Latisse specials....that's enough to cheer up any Kirkland girl. Especially on these rainy days. On their website there is a new client special-- 50 min massage and 70 min facial w/microderm (2.5hrs) for $99. Hellooooo holiday gifts!! I love free stuff so will see you on the 14th at the party. Feel free to review your experience here afterwards! ~j
It's a HOT week for opening a business in Kirkland...
Top Pot Doughnuts in Juanita Village-OPENS this FRIDAY 10/17 at 5am. I'm curious who will buy that first one at 5am, but not curious enough to wake up that early.
Wyraqocha- on Central Way- OPENS to the public MONDAY 10/20 for lunch. Finally! Woohoo.
Purpose Boutique- 122 Central Ave- GRAND OPENING Bash SATURDAY 10/25 5-8pm. Hello holiday shopping.
Blue Luna will be closing its Kirkland storefront at 127 Lake St. S and is soon to be found online only. Hurry in to take advantage of up to 50% off.
And... things aren't looking so good for the much anticipated Bill the Butcher opening in Kirkland. Just saw this the other day. Booooo.
But for other businesses starting with B's...breweries in Kirkland are on the rise. Securing some of my favorite beer-drinking friends for that post. Stay tuned.
I am SO not a dog person. Sorry. Not sure where this went askew. I grew up with dogs and loved them, but something changed as an adult, in my Type A brain, that can't fathom adding another layer of slobber, hair, wet paws, and poop to my life. Maybe I'm just lazy. Because I do realize, that for many people a pet can open up your heart and change your life.
Local resident Fay Andersson's dog came into her world at exactly the right time. In 2011, she was in a life-changing accident that left her in excruciating pain and depressed. To cheer up, she got a white fluffy Maltese puppy and named him Louie de Coton or "Louie" for short. Louie went everywhere with her. He healed her pain, alleviated her sadness, and even became designated as an emotional 'service dog' by her doctor so she could bring him everywhere with her. Even pilates! Louie changed her life.
But little Louie got cold easily. So Faye began designing technical dog clothes for him. She has searched everywhere to find the finest high-quality, high-performance materials to create fashionable clothes for small dogs. She was looking for things that weren't bulky but provided warmth in a light-weight fabric. You are North-westerners...think Gore-Tex/Northface/Patagonia styles. Her other priority was finding safe/environmental free/made in the USA materials and doing her manufacturing locally. There are rain jackets, fleeces, and even lined messenger bags for your little pooches. Why should humans be the only ones spoiled by awesome weather-proof clothing when your dogs are chilly too?
Louie de Coton products can be found online or at BooBoo Barkery in Kirkland. Prices range from $27-75. Louie has since passed on, but his legacy lives through Faye and her passion for designing high-end clothes for little dogs. ~j
It's still TOTALLY DARK inside, but it appears that an Urban Float is coming to K-Town. They've claimed their space at Kirkland Square (formerly Bead Hut) near Rock Star Tan Bar and Taco Del Mar. Everyone is buzzing and asking----what IS an Urban Float?
A quick Google search tells us that this already exists in Seattle and Kirklanders can now get ready to FLOAT in individual pods for an hour that are filled with about 10 inches of water and epsom salt. It sounds sort of womb-like to me. Sensory stimulation is reduced and the effects of gravity on the central nervous system are suspended. Finally we will be able to free our brain and achieve a deep relaxation and state of meditative calm. This system claimed to eliminate the negative effects of stress by reducing elevated levels of stress hormones and relaxing the nervous system. There's lots of history on the theory of floating. Yes! Yes! I'll do it! Sign me up!
All the questions that popped into my mind are already on their FAQ list-- like, will I drown? Because I'm pretty sure I'd fall asleep instantly. Or it will be like yoga where I'm supposed to be relaxing/releasing some sort of cosmic energy but I'm really just thinking about how much else I have to get done that day. Another obvious concern for the Type A's like myself is..... cleanliness. Recommended nakedness in a retail space is always a bit dicey, but they promise they have this covered too (filtering, disinfecting AND UV light). How much does this cost? A single float is $89 and they also have 3 or 5 float packages and monthly memberships starting at $49/mo.
I am looking forward to giving this a shot and sharing my experience with you (assuming I don't drown..). Renew, Refresh, Revive. I need all of those things. Don't you? ~j
Look what I found on my run today!
It was a great excuse (to rest... and) to snap a few photos. Purpose Boutique will be opening in the storefront that was previously Canvas, which moved down the street. Painters are in there now and some fun bright clothes hang on mannequins in the window with a teaser note saying hello to Kirkland. They currently have a location in Bremerton.
I love to see a woman-owned business and after checking out their website, these gals have a big vision for changing lives around the world. This is not just a retail clothing shop where you can get beautifully styled, this is a place that focuses on giving back. Read their story and follow them on Facebook until we can go visit them in person! ~j
Google's Kirkland campus just celebrated it's 10 year anniversary with, of course, a par-taaaaay today where they announced they will be donating over $200,000 to bring free wireless to Everest and Houghton Beach Parks. Until now, it is has been a total drag not being able to play beach volleyball while checking email. ;-) The network will expand on our current fiber network and be owned and operated by the City of Kirkland.
Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen said, "The City of Kirkland very much appreciates all of the ways that Google continues to contribute to the local community and is grateful to Google for this wonderful gift of connectivity. Free and accessible access to the Internet from public places is important in our modern age, and helps to make Kirkland a special place to work and live."
Thank you, again, Google. Can't wait to see what Santa will bring this year......??? ;-)
What happens when you write a blog post ripping on the recent property valuations from the King County Assessor? Well, the next morning someone from the Assessor's Communications/Outreach Dept has a little 'hello' waiting for me in my inbox (Insert warm fuzzies here). :-)
Here is what they want us to know:
Total property valuations are approaching pre-recession levels at $340.6 billion, (2008 total property value was $341 billion) up 7.6% overall from 2013 ($314.7 billion). "Continuing the 2013 trend, property values are increasing across King County as we emerge from the Great Recession," said Assessor Lloyd Hara. "In 2013, we saw a residential increase in 76 out of 86 residential areas and we expect to see continued growth in residential values in 2014 for almost all residential areas in King County except for a small number of parcels in the Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass area."
Kirkland Prezi on Property Values and Property Taxes: Click Here
View King County Assessor Lloyd Hara's message to taxpayers: Click Here
As property values rebounds across King County, property owners are wondering what the increase might mean for their property tax in 2015. Washington voters in 2001 approved Initiative-747, and the state legislature reinstated I-747 in 2007, imposing a 1 percent cap per year on property tax increase unless voters approve a greater tax increase.
Washington State operates under a revenue or "budget-based" property tax system in which taxing districts, such as counties, cities, ports, and fire, library, and school districts submit their annual adopted budgets to the Assessor's Office. The Assessor determines the taxing rate that is necessary to generate enough revenue to meet the adopted budgets. The tax rates are based on the value of residential, commercial, and personal property in each county, which is established by the assessors.
Assessor Lloyd Hara would like to remind all property owners to carefully review the information contained in the valuation notice. If you feel a mistake has been made in valuing your property, it is recommended that you contact the Assessor's Office directly before filing an appeal at 206-296-7300 or assessor.info@kingcountygov.
Property owners can review their property information online using eReal Property and review our Kirkland Area Report on the Assessor's homepage at www.kingcounty.gov/assessor or with the Assessor's staff to make sure an error has not been made. King County allows 60 days from the valuation's postmark date to file an appeal with the King County Board of Equalizations.
In some parts of King County, up to 50 percent of your 2014 property taxes might be voter-approved tax measures. In the majority of cases, an increase in property taxes is due to voter-approved property tax measures. These are typically school, fire, or other levies or bonds. Find out your tax levy rate and more property related information by visiting eReal Property and on the King County Assessor's website.
The Kirkland Downtown Association and Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Nytec, are holding a Gala Fish Frolic Auction at the Woodmark Hotel on Thursday, Sept 25th from 5:30-9pm. This is a fundraiser to support community events throughout the year, the flowerpots in downtown Kirkland, and a portion of the proceeds also benefits Lake WA Schools Foundation.
Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased here. But hurry because time is running out! Look how cool these fish are that have been created by local artists and you will be bidding on. Love the one (photo above) by Elizabeth Kincaid with the big red lips titled "Lovers in the Night." There will be a raffle, door prizes, dinner, dessert, drink tickets, music- all the components for a fun party... except your friends- so throw on a cocktail dress and bring them too! ~j
DonorsChoose.org is a crowd-funding nonprofit website where teachers can post things they need most for their classroom, and donors can support their favorite projects. It was started by a teacher and the site tells a really interesting story of their history. And thanks to the awesomeness of this site and the over-the-top generosity of Google, on Monday 9/15, they unveiled a big surprise-- Google is going to fund EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM PROJECT in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. Yep, Kirkland- that means us! Yipppeeeee!! I hope our teachers have been using this site. Estimates are that this will be approximately $315,000 in paper, pencils, books, tablets, instruments, field trips and other supplies.
The surprise announcement was made at Highland Park Elementary School in Seattle (photo). Those are some happy faces! Way to show the (local) love, Google!
WHAT IS UP with the property value notices that just came out?!?! Is this happening to you too? Ours went up 20% from last year, which nearly made me spill my wine coffee. I've heard lots of other residents squawking in disbelief also. One Kirkland friend said her assessment is 100% higher than last year (with no changes or improvements to land/dwelling). The real estate market is picking back up, but not THAT fast.
I haven't called their office yet, but it sounds like to appeal your evaluation you need to act quickly. July 1, 2014 or 60 days from the mailing date on the postcard....clearly the latter in my case. You can also contact the King County Assessor at 206-296-7300 firstname.lastname@example.com or the King Co Board of Equalization 206-696-3496. Please share your story in the comments if you have experienced a tax-induced heart attack or been through the appeals process.
Oktoberfest in October? NO! Let's expedite this beer-drinking celebration to Sept 26-28th in downtown Kirkland. Marina Park will transform into a Bavarian village with games, costumes, contests, beer, brats and undoubtedly, a weiner dog contest. There is also a Kirkland "Morganfahrt" Oktoberfest 5K on Sunday at 9am, so you can burn a few calories before you fill your stein. $35 for the run gets you into the Biergarten afterwards, if you are 21, of course.
Tickets and proof of age is are required at the authentic Muchen-style Biergarten which is open the following hours:

I had the pleasure of bumping into the fun and friendly owners of the new Peruvian kitchen, Wyraqocha, which is getting ready to open in the next few weeks at 110 Central Way. Cyndy Almonte is the General Manager and Lia Horna is the Executive Chef (photo). Cyndy is MY PEOPLE, having moved here from New Jersey to start this joint venture with her BFF, Lia. "What IS Peruvian food?" I wondered. Sounds like we are about to find out that it is a fusion of many kinds of food and mostly tapas (small bites so you can taste many things). The menu is still being finalized so they can be sure to find the freshest local ingredients for all of their dishes.
The interior of the restaurant is a slate gray with stone on the wall and dark hardwoods. Things have been slowed down with a few different contractors but they are all on track now. A family member with some super awesome artistry skills flew in for a weekend to paint the designs on their walls (photo). I'm looking forward to a)my kids going back to school so that b)I have some free time to have lunch with a friend in this cool new spot. ~j
I can't say this outloud without singing the rest... Hey Baby! Hey Baby! Hey! Just like the Gwen Stefani song but I don't think this is what she was singing about (or maybe she was?). Hey Baby! is a new 3D/4D ultrasound imaging facility in Kirkland, 8556 122nd Ave NE, Ste A2, designed to enable pregnant women to capture some amazing images of their babies in utero. It's by appointment only- and this is NOT instead of diagnostic images with your doctor. Think of it as more of your baby's first portraits. And these are always a little bit freaky because you can actually kinda see what your kid is going to look like in a 3D/4D image. Sometimes it's a face only a mother can love.
My first pregnancy was twins so I was spoiled with lots of ultrasounds and monitoring ( and poking and prodding and gestational diabetes but that's another story, LOL). I didn't realize that most moms-to-be only get to see their little peanuts on the screen once or twice until Brady came along. Hey Baby! is a clever solution for anxious or curious family members. It would also be a great baby shower gift that allows access to amazing technology for an affordable price ($99-219 depending on package). Call for an appointment or questions: 844-777-BABY. Gift cards are also available. ~j
It's time! It's time! Summerfest is here!
Even though our favorite downtown cow is wearing a hot-pink diaper to celebrate the occasion, this is not your dress code (although I wouldn't stop you). The event runs Aug 8-10 in Marina Park and you can find all the details here. Plenty of fun for everyone so you should hustle on down there for music, beer/wine gardens, art, food trucks, vendors, activities, rides and cultural displays. This is not just for the adults, here's a list of the kids happenings.
Radio Disney, sparkle tattoos, balloon twister, stilt walker, library bookmobile, face painter, Maxmobile (adoptable animals), fly fishing demo(Sat. 12-6), roaming Star Wars characters, kids fitness course, Ivivva yoga demo (Sun. 11:00), huge sand pile and toys at the beach, kids rides: obstacle course, robo surfer, bouncy house, big slide, robotics, young artists' exhibition, cardboard boat regatta(Sat. 3:00), free 1 ½ hour painting classes in front of Volterra restaurant, dog fashion show, Rotary Duck Dash ( Sun. 2:30), Search and Rescue (Sat. 3:30), dragon boat races, Touch a Truck: police car, fire truck, Sno-King Zamboni, Smith Brothers milk truck, Rapid Ride bus, hydroplanes, MAC tow truck, Northshore Utility district truck and rehydration station, Kenworth Seahawk truck, limousine, RV, Ford Tonka truck, US Marine vehicle and more.
KIDS THINGS ARE ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 9 and SUNDAY, AUGUST 10
from 11:00 am- 6:00 pm
We finally meandered up to "The Market St," at 1720 Market St., to check out their new look and menu which has departed from the previous owner's Asian Wok offerings (Amen). A fresh coat of paint and getting rid of the giant fish tanks were definitely a step in the right direction. If only they had ousted the red pleather rolling chairs I might not be having flashbacks of what it used to be. The food was definitely much improved. The menu offers a variety of crowd pleasers: steak/burgers/sandwiches/fish/soup/salad all priced between $8-20. Steve got the pork shoulder which was really good and beautifully presented (photo). I couldn't stop stealing the delicious shoestring fries from my friend's plate, in between bites of my cobb salad which had lots of pork, avocado and hard boiled egg on top. Our waitress was very personable and helpful with the menu and our drinks were stiff, a signature trademark of the attached bar which keeps a steady flow of regulars.
Overall, this is a quaint little casual neighborhood spot that locals will keep coming back to. Restaurant hours are Sun/Mon 4-9pm, Tues-Sat 4-10pm. The bar is open until the weeeee hours of the morning when I am dreaming about waterskiing. Sun/Mon til 12am and Tues-Sat til 2am. 425-827-4117. ~j
On Monday July 28th, Poppinjay's at Carillon Point is sharing their 27th birthday with us by honoring 1987 prices. What a way to celebrate! You can have about 6 cups of coffee that day instead of your one Starbucks latte. Soup is .95, soup/sandwich is $3.55, coffee .50, and a chinese chicken salad is $4.25. Now if only we could buy our gas at .89/gallon again! :-)
What were YOU doing in 1987? I was a freshman in high school in Edison, New Jersey. My goal in life was to make the Varsity softball team and be able to afford enough Stiff Stuff hairspray to keep my bangs at least 4 inches high. I was listening to Bon Jovi and anxiously awaiting the day my braces came off and my perm grew out so I could blossom into an obnoxious potty-mouthed teen and capture the attention of some boy wearing Old Spice and driving an IROC. There you have it. Not my favorite years....we've come so far. Thanks for sticking with us, Poppinjay's. Happy Birthday! ~j
Oh look- another restaurant is going to try its luck at 89 Kirkland Ave (previous location of Top Shelf, that Greek place, Marina Park Grill, and a few others that have slipped my mind). Fingers are crossed that the Watercress Vietnamese Bistro is what you guys have been dreaming about for this spot (who doesn't love a good bowl of Pho?). This appear to be their second location. The other is in Seattle on Rainier and also includes a pool hall.
A new massage place in Spa Krista's old place near Flatstick Pub? Massa Wellness- don't know anything yet, but here's their website. Share some info if you have any.
I just met General Manager, David Fruchter, who is excited to let us know HomeGrown (101 Lake St.) will officially be opening on July 22nd (soft opening the 21st). Love what they've done with the space. White subway tiles, reclaimed wood everywhere, stainless steel and lots of light in this airy spot with a farmhouse feel. Paper is off the windows so take a peek. Be ready for casual local, organic food- menus here. ~j
The much anticipated opening for Lady Yum is here!! Get yourself ready for some macarons and mischief. You'll feel like you're in a French Bakery with the exposed brick, dark hardwoods, vintage chandeliers and sweet deliciousness of the colorful macarons. Owner Megan Gordon is over-the-moon with how the place turned out.... "I can't believe it's mine!" she said, after many months of planning and hard work.
The macaron flavors were all tempting-- lemon blueberry (my daughter Sydney's fave), toasted coconut (Megan's fave), Zoka mocha (mine), salted caramel, orange creme, maple bacon, strawberry, chocolate, and chocolate mint to name a few. All were the perfect consistency of light crackle on the outside and a chewy delight when you bite into it. The good news is they're only 100 calories each. The bad news is it's really tough not to eat 5 of them!
There's plenty of cafe style seating where you can sit and enjoy your beautiful treat. Hop on down to 111 Lake Street (old Ce Fiore site) and let us know YOUR favorite flavor! Hours are Tues- Sat 10-11, Sun 10-8, Closed MON. ~j
<--brothers Sam & Andy (mom would be proud)
If you like playing golf and drinking local beers, which encompasses an estimated 87% of the male population, Flatstick Pub is going to be your new go-to hot-spot in Kirkland. Brothers Sam and Andy Largent opened this new craft beer bar and indoor mini golf course on June 1st at 15 Lake St. S (inbetween Vovina and The Grape Choice). Sam has wanted to open a beer bar for a while, and liked the idea of offering something to do as well. After a little research, Flatstick Pub was born (he didn't have to twist his brother's arm to join him!). From the looks of this place on a Friday night, I think they nailed it.
After wiggling past gaggles of people half my age, the first thing I noticed was the bright display of the 'Digital Pour' Menu over the commanding line-up of 24 taps of Washington beers. The electronic menu tells you the name and type of beer, where it's from, % of alcohol, the price (most are $5.50), and how full the keg is. The red color indicates that a keg is almost tapped out, and the person who gets the last pour on that one gets to pick what will come up next. You can also look on their website to see what they are pouring right now-whoa... real-time beer monitoring! And just for fun, they also have their twitter feed up on the menu board. Can't find a babysitter for your pooch? No problem, bring 'em along, dogs are welcome in the pub area. If you and your dog and your drafts get hungry, they carry local packaged sandwiches, salads and wraps from Molly's and many local restaurants deliver to this location. Patio seating will be coming soon.
Flatstick, which is another name for putter, is a sprawling 3,000 square feet. The entire back half is a custom-made 9-hole mini golf course that Andy designed and his neighbor built. Let me tell ya, these holes are NOT easy. Even after a few beers, navigating through water features, mazes and going under kegs is no small challenge. I love the custom mural on the back wall of the old Kirkland ferry that gives you the illusion of golfing on the Lake Washington. The course is $6/per person and you can usually get around two times in an hour. Other fun things to expect from these guys? Trivia night, brewer's night, random drawings for Seahawks tickets, and of course....corporate events. This would be a great spot to rent out for a birthday party or team building event. They are even working on changing their licensing so that they can host children's parties soon too. Like them on Facebook to stay in the know.
Hours at Flatstick Pub are weekdays noon to midnight, and Saturday noon to 1:30am. Fun, casual, good young energy abounds in this clever new concept. Look for them at Kirkland Uncorked (THIS WEEKEND!!) and as a sponsor for Kirkland Summerfest (Aug 8-10) this year. 425-242-1618, firstname.lastname@example.com . ~j
I went out of town for a little bit and came back and hardly have time to write about all of the new Kirkland happenings. Patience, my friends. I'm trying to keep up. Let's start with Pike St. Press in the old 'Sweet & Sassy' space next to Bikini Beach at 92 Kirkland Ave. Fab. Just think of thick creamy papers on a custom letter press- custom coasters, tags, announcements, invites and business cards. No templates, this is the real deal. Sean Brown, born and raised in Kirkland and whom also started their first location on Pike St is excited to be on the eastside doing what he knows how to do. email@example.com
Check out this 1905 printing press in the window. This is where Sean creates cards like these (above). He even helped create Milagro's first menu. Everything is hand-crafted and custom, with a fun spattering of cards and notebooks and journals to choose from in his storefront- stamps too. Def pop in to say hello and see what's up at Pike St Press.~j
I was driving past our downtown Kirkland "Smokin Hot Smoke Shop" today and couldn't help but notice their giant banner announcing a FREE TRIAL OFFER for a vaporizer and e-cigarette. Well, isn't that super??! Somehow this just rubs me the wrong way. But I can't put my finger on it. And I'm sure some of you are going to go berserk on me when you read this. But I also think some of you feel the weird vibe this sign creates too.
I know they have the same right as anyone to advertise their business...does it feel like they're encouraging the general public to smoke (legal, I realize...)? Maybe next door we could open a porn shop and your first DVD is free? Or a gun store offering free bullets? Same strange corner of the universe perhaps- Compelling to some, but offensive to others? Maybe it's the location I can't wrap my brain around. I dunno. Go ahead, comment. I'll brace myself (probably while you are all rushing out to get your free vaporizers....) ~j
Folks, we are down to the last few days and still have unfilled positions.
Please Please Please help make this annual event just as special as it always is. Sometimes it takes the whole darn village!
Follow this link and sign up. Call with Questions Penny 425-765-5576 or Barbie 425-766-6982
And if you can't do any of those jobs....
Do you want to walk IN the parade? The Summerfest entry in the 4th of July parade could use about 20 people to march with them- kids, friends, neighbors, parents, pets-they need ya! They are meeting at 10am and the parade starts at 12 (after the kids parade at 11:30). Done by 1pm. Call Sue if you can do it- 425-827-6870 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Always fun to see the parade from the 'other side'. Happy Fourth!
Here is the schedule of events for the whole day. I heard a rumor that the parade is going in the opposite direction this year???
It's back! This program is a win for everyone. Simplicity Decor and Simplicity ABC will partner with you and your favorite charity to raise money at their downtown storefronts by selling lemonade to the thirsty patrons of Kirkland. My kids LOVE doing this- and have had a successful stand in the past for Seattle Children's Hospital. Choose whatever has meaning for you and make it special. Kids really dig setting up their own little 'shop' on the sidewalk and working for tips that go straight to a worthy cause. Ten percent of Simplicity Decor/ABC's proceeds for that day will also go towards your charity. Ka-ching!
If you'd like to sign up for a day that you (and your kiddos) can set up shop, email "A" for an application here. They are due by July 11th. Great sales/interpersonal/life skills for the kids, your charity benefits, and so do some favorite downtown local businesses. Tell us when you'll be there, I'm getting thirsty already...~j
The rumors are true. Top Pot is coming to Juanita Village! This little shopping center seems to be a magnet for coffee drinkers and doughnut eaters (so I'll see you there, right?). No intel on timing yet, so you'll have to just salivate for now. ~j
Went for a little jog through Juanita Beach Park today, and I had forgotten about the Juanita Friday Market. What a fun surprise, and unexpected reason to slow my pace down to a walk. The usual suspects are there (flowers, popcorn, fruit/vegs) and I also noticed some I haven't seen before (tea stand, soaps/fun smell-good things for kids, doggie products)- worth checking out! Every Fri from 3-7 (except 7/4) And, of course there's the Weds Market also every week, at Marina Park 2-7.
Other fun summertime things in the que:
The Fourth of July Celebration- 7/4/14
Kirkland Car Show- 7/27/14
Kirkland Summerfest- Aug 8-10th and a funny little video to go with it.
Wyraqocha Peruvian Kitchen- seems like we've been waiting a long time for this one at 110 Central, but they just put their 'real' sign up the other day so things must be moving forward. You can get an idea of what they've been up to on their FB page. Now, can you say Wyraqocha 5 times fast?
Kirkland iRepair- in the old Asher location at 13 Central, Kirkland iRepair specializes in repairing all Apple products (iPhone, iPad,iPod, MacBook). There is some very green paint up on the walls now. And even more green stickers/signage went up today after this photo was taken. It doesn't even matter that they aren't open yet, you can make an appt on their website or call 425-753-3557. I like that their site has tabs for each product and lists pricing and turnaround times for specific repairs.
Canvas Paint & Sip Studio re-lo- Canvas has their sign on the empty retail space next to Kathy Evans at 140 Central Way (where the weird Piroshky drugstore used to be). Looks like a little expansion perhaps??
Wellllll, it's work-boots really. I'll bet you have an old pair in your garage and you would feel really awesome if you gave them to somebody in need.
Let me explain-I wrote a post back in Sept about a homeless man named Steve that often stands at the corner of 100th and 116th (near Columbia Athletic Club). A few people have mentioned that it helped them take notice or give a wave and a smile, maybe a buck for coffee. And it sounds like many of you have reached out also. My kids still get excited every time they see Steve, and willingly surrender their unopened food/drinks out the window if we happen to catch the red light.
It gave me warm fuzzies to get this update from a reader. A sort of full circle scenario:blogger->reader->subject->reader->blogger. Cause, believe it or not, I don't do this gig for the whopping paycheck or employee benefits. It's because of the all of the awesome people in this city and our common interests as a community- all inter-connected. Check your garage, please. You guys rock. (poor Steve might get 17 pairs of boots now)...
Here is the recent note from a reader (thank you, Ginny, for sharing):
I'm on the #255 bus heading downtown & saw Steve. Ever since your column, I've stopped occasionally. I greeted him = I'm the lady who waves hello from across the street on my walk. Your name/ column came up. Steve always wanted to tell you how much he appreciated your kind words - and the day you & the girls stopped by to chat.
So, here he is:
"Thank you! Apparently you have some wonderful followers on your weblog who have stopped. I really appreciate it. God Bless You.
I'm no longer homeless. I live in an apartment downtown Seattle. I'm keeping it real and trying to make it happen. There are some really good people out there and I just want to thank them.
PS Anybody out there with a size 10 1/2 work boot? I'm usually @ 116th corner 11:30am -1:30 pm several days a week.

Sure, McDonald's might be a cheap meal, but some McDonald's around New York City are charging extra for extra ketchup packets, DNAinfo reports.
A reporter found that 35 McDonald's south of Central Park were charging customers who asked for extra ketchup in addition to the two packets given; outer-borough restaurants in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, and the Bronx were not found to charge extra for ketchup.
"We want to control condiment cost," one manager said, who has implemented a ketchup fee since 2011.
A spokeswoman for McDonald's notes that all 300 McDonald's franchises in New York City are run by private owners, and they are allowed to give out condiments however they like. The spokeswoman noted that they are allowed to give them out as individual packets or have dispensers and charge for extra condiments as needed.
Of course, in the past McDonald's has also started charging for sweet and sour sauces (back in 2010 it was $0.40).

Ricciardo now a serious title contender?
Daniel Ricciardo celebrates victory in Montreal The 2014 Formula 1 World Championship title could be the next on the radar for Formula 1′s newest race winner. Impressive Red Bull newcomer Daniel Ricciardo drove past Mercedes' technical trouble in Canada last weekend to record his first grand prix victory and position himself as a serious title contender. Should Mercedes hit a spate of problems, as they did in Canada, and Red Bull keep improving – keeping in mind that Newey inspired upgrades traditionally kick in around the time of Singapore – Ricciardo is well positioned to capitalise and perhaps even launch a title bid in the latter half of the season. The feat earned...

Let us work cooperatively together to spread the sankirtan, purify ourselves, please Srila Prabhupada, bring auspiciousness to the world and satisfaction to our hearts.
Contact myself – email@example.com or Ekalavya prabhu email@example.com if you would like to take an active role in organizing locally or internationally or being a part of this great yajna.

The Securities and Exchange Commission's crackdown on insider trading has been a high-profile campaign that has included some high-profile hedge fund industry targets, but the market watchdog is also keeping a close eye on another aspect of private fund activity—transactions that may require the adviser to register as a broker-dealer.
"[T]he SEC is bringing cases in this area and has been sounding this alarm bell since April," Perrie Weiner, global co-chairman of securities litigation at law firm DLA piper, told FINalternatives.
The April alarm bell took the form of an address to the American Bar Association by David Blass, chief counsel for the SEC's trading and markets division, during which he said it was "vitally important...to settle some of the questions that have been open for a decade or more about who needs to register with the SEC as a broker-dealer."
While underlining that his views were his alone and not those of the Commission, Blass focused in on the "two flavors" of the issue that have come to his attention:
"[T]he first flavor (let's call it plain vanilla) involves a fund adviser that pays its personnel transaction-based compensation for selling interests in a fund or that has personnel whose only or primary functions are to sell interest in the fund," he said.
"In the second flavor (a bit more unusual, say dark chocolate with a subtle infusion of habanero), the private fund adviser, its personnel, or its affiliates receive transaction-based compensation for purported investment banking or other broker activities relating to one or more of the fund's portfolio companies."
To determine whether they need to register, Blass suggested private fund advisers ask themselves a series of questions including: How do we solicit and retain investors? Do employees who solicit investors have other responsibilities? How are personnel who solicit investors compensated? Do we charge a transaction fee in connection with a securities transaction?
Case In Point
Registration as a broker-dealer is "arduous and time consuming (approximately six to nine months)," said Weiner, "and, thereafter, the fund would be subject to, among other things, another inspection scheme."
But there are no viable alternatives to registration for firms who fail to qualify for an exemption "other than to assume the risk of an enforcement action," said Weiner.
One firm that found that our the hard way was New York-based private-equity firm Ranieri Partners.
In March of this year, Ranieri settled SEC accusations it had violated Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act—the rule exempting from registration certain non-U.S. resident persons engaged in business as a broker or dealer entirely outside the United States.
The SEC said that William Stephens, a consultant at Ranieri, went further than his role as a "finder" allowed. Instead of just introducing investors to the firm, Stephens continued to work with them after the introduction had been made, including on transactions and analysis, activities the SEC said should have not been undertaken by a person not registered as a broker. The settlement saw Stephens barred from the securities industry, his boss pay $75,000 and Ranieri pay $375,000 although none admitted nor denied wrongdoing.
Weiner noted another potential hazard: "The failure to register also raises the potential for a disgruntled investor of such a fund to later claim that the fund should have been registered at the time the investment was made and that, therefore, the investor should be entitled to rescission, or some other sort of relief."
Weiner said he would also advise private fund advisors to examine whether Rule 3a4-1, i.e., the 'issuer exemption'—which many funds were, and are, relying on as a rationale for not registering—applies.
To qualify, he said, "You have to meet one of these conditions: (a) the person limits the offering and selling of the issuer's securities only to broker-dealers and other specified types of financial institutions; (b) the person performs substantial duties for the issuer other than in connection with transactions in securities, was not a broker-dealer or an associated person of a broker-dealer within the preceding 12 months, and does not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months; or (c) the person limits activities to delivering written communications by means that do not involve oral solicitation by the associated person of a potential purchaser."
Blass, in his April speech, referenced the issuer exemption noting that it "could be difficult for private fund advisers to fall within these conditions."

Jake "The Snake" Roberts Addresses Exclusion From The WWE Hall of Fame
by Amish Patel - March 27, 2012
One of the most unique and memorable wrestlers in WWE history, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, is among the most glaring omissions from the WWE Hall of Fame. Roberts commented on his exclusion from WWE's gallery of greats during a recent interview with the Busted Open satellite radio show.
"There's been a lot of guys go in that belong there, and…there are some who shouldn't be in there, but who the hell am I? Hell, I'm not in there, so what the hell. Maybe someday when they put some more guys in there, maybe I'll go in. I would love to go in, not so much for me, but for my kids, man. It's part of my legacy. I put so much into wrestling; 37 years of it. Why I'm not there, I'm sure somebody's got a reason," he said.
When asked whether WWE and other wrestling organizations are scared to give him another employment opportunity, Roberts said, "I don't think it's the past. I think it's just me, period, because of what I believe in… I'm a team player because I want the product better, but… my nose doesn't fit well up anybody's butt."

Is Egypt planning to rent out the pyramids?
2013 03 07
By Maya Shwayder |
International Business Times
Egypt, Its Economy In Tatters And Strapped For Cash, Considered Renting Out Pyramids For Tourism
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Cairo Saturday for talks with Egyptian leaders inside and outside the government, while demonstrators protested in Port Said and the country edged closer to deeper economic distress.
Egypts economic situation has deteriorated enough that the religious website Al-Ketab al-Mounir, or the Enlightened Book, presented a proposal to the countrys Finance Ministry to rent out the nations key monuments, including the pyramids of Giza, the English-language Egypt Independent reported. According to the proposal, the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the temples of Luxor could be rented out to international tourism companies for three to five years, thus generating an estimated $200 billion for Egypt.
The proposal was rejected, but it was considered by the Ministry of State for Antiquities.

Calling all Dawgs: Huskies need you Tuesday night
By Brad Spencer
If you ask me -- and I doubt anyone is -- there was just a little too much respect going on in the Dawg Pound last night in the field house during the OPRF boys basketball team's final regular season game against York, a team the Huskies will see again this Tuesday at the same location in the semifinals of the Class 4A Oak Park Regional (8:10 p.m.).
I don't mean to sound snarky, but WHO, WHO, KEPT THE DAWGS IN? WHO WHO? Seriously.
In the bleachers beyond the south basket, normally designated for the loud, rowdy, face and body painted Dawgs, a large group of students sat quietly throughout the game wearing black t-shirts with the word RESPECT emblazoned across the front. The group, part of the drill team, put on a splendid halftime show, but was a far-cry from the sixth-man punch the Dawgs usually provide for the basketball team during many home games. And the Huskies could have used an infusion of excitement in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's loss. (Click here for the story on the game).
My hope is the Dawgs took Thursday off to be better prepared for Tuesday night's playoff game. Perhaps they were busy making some placards with Al Allen's face on them, in order to distract York's very good free throw shooters. If they need a stake for those placards, might they use the former head-turned-assistant coach's cane. Allen has already ditched the trusty crutch after suffering a debilitating stroke last month. He was back at full throttle last night, was his old self again, and it was good to see.
Hopefully, the Dawgs will be back at full throttle Tuesday night.

Wide range of CA hospital charges for blood tests called 'irrational'
KPBS, August 18, 2014
One California hospital charged $10 for a blood cholesterol test, while another hospital that ran the same test charged $10,169 — over 1,000 times more. For another common blood test called a basic metabolic panel, the average hospital charge was $371, but prices ranged from a low of $35 to a high of $7,303, more than 200 times more. The wide disparity in hospitals' listed charges for routine blood tests at California hospitals was revealed in a study published in the August issue of BMJ Open. The study examined the listed charges for routine blood tests performed in 2011.

Pop diva Jennifer Lopez and Season 7 winner David Cook performed their newest singles live on Thursday's results show of 'American Idol'...Watch videos now! First up was the 29-year-old Texas rocker who took the FOX talent show stage to debut his brand new single "The Last Song I'll Write for You". The mid-tempo rock tune is not included on David's 2011 album "This Loud Morning", so what we are hearing may be the first single off his upcoming third studio project. "The Last Song I'll Write for You" is a pretty solid release! In fact, after the 'Idol' performance, Mr Cook's new single got in the Top 50 on the iTunes USA chart.
Later on Thursday night, sexy latina Jennifer Lopez gave us the first televised performance of her RedOne-produced dance/pop hit "Dance Again"....That was amazing!! I can't at the opening being so captivating, J.Lo's fake live vocals being so good, the whole dancing being so fierce, and the cute chemistry between Jennifer and her toy-boy Casper Smart during their 'intimate' break. She killed it!! Oh, and thank God she did the solo version, and left out Pitbull for once. "Dance Again" climbed 5 spots this week on the Hot 100 going up to #20, and it's back again on the Top 10 on iTunes USA after the 'Idol' performance. Go gurl!
What do YOU think of the performances?

The NFL Killed Masculinity. Can Players Ever Reclaim it?
There's no greater team and character building sport than football, period. The torturous training regimen dramatically shapes you literally and figuratively. As a teenager, running hills in the heat of summer camp prepared me for the passion of racism, "hating" colleagues, and bureaucracy. I learned all these things with and through men, but there's no denying the NFL has killed masculinity.
To be a man in the NFL is to hold cities hostage though stadium negotiation deals. To be a man is to conceal evidence of early death due to head injuries from your employees. To be a man is to turn a defensive eye to spousal and drug abuse. To be a man is to be a bounty hunter, a missile, a shamer, homophobe, punisher, beater, and extortionist who will get on his knees and be thankful for winning a game. And we men pay to see this shameful display of manhood. We pay for the morbid intrigue and corruption. Audiences have concussed themselves. As a society, we have become no different than the game itself. Winning at all cost is undoubtedly masculine, undoubtedly American. Yes, the NFL has killed real manhood.
What's real manhood? I applaud Johnathan Martin for outing Incognito and the Dolphins' organization for their harmful, as well as emotionally immature bullying tactics. He proves to be the only man truly demonstrating the character traits of courage, tolerance, and integrity. The obvious racist jaw flapping around Seahawk defensive back Richard Sherman missed the mark.
Now, Michael Sam, the gay football player, will teach the NFL and its homophobic fan base how to be a man. The lessons won't come from Sam's play on the field. They'll come from his endurance, ability to overcome obstacles, examples of interdependence, and his honesty. Still, most the discourse on ethics in the NFL revolves around individual players. This one man's high character isn't enough for me.
I can't let my son play football because I want him to be a man.
The irony is that football as a sport is an incredible teacher. Growing up, football placed me in positions that exposed my character. I learned how far and fast I could run by overcoming fear. I faced physical giants every day. Very few experiences can humble an ego-driven, 150-pound, 15-year-old like being coached to scamper towards a hole occupied by a 270-pound guy named "Dano."
Dano didn't care that he was twice my size; Dano needed to stop me as much as I needed to elude him. The inevitable collision never scared me. The landing's what took my breath away. And if I failed to execute the run, or play to Coach Simon's liking, he would run the same play—again and again. I can wax poetic about the lessons taught in Oklahoma drills.
I learned what an even playing field means. I know how to rely on others. It gave me a man-cave that helped form intrinsic qualities of hard work, determination, fairness, and sportsmanship. Sure, I had an ample supply of women who imparted these lessons—in particular, my best teachers (parents) were two old women, Ma Elsie and Mary, who raised me when my father abused my mother and abdicated his responsibilities. Because of my rearing, I needed male surrogates so that I could understand what it meant to be a man. Football gave me examples.
For many urban males like me, sports provided the direction, structure, and discipline that crack cocaine, Reaganomics, and a corrupt criminal justice system stole from my neighborhood. Sports provided the rose-colored glasses I needed to view a father I never knew (and who later died in prison.) Sports gave me positive male friends, structure, and a community I could rely upon. Athletics improved my vision of masculinity.
I only played a few years of high school football because it began to blur my vision of masculinity. There are traditional initiations between upperclassmen and rookies at all levels in all sports. Having played several, none exhibit the physical abuse endorsed in football. To be tough is to take and deliver punishment. Hazing is tradition in football. I still struggle to see the relevance of physical manipulation in football. The game itself is abusive.
I eventually gained positive lessons of masculinity through cross-country and track. The culture of football just didn't fit my intellectual aspiration or emotional sensibilities, and, that culture trickles down from NFL.
Sure, the NFL will "clean up" the workplace environment rife with flagrant sexism and homophobia. This isn't enough for me. The NFL will attempt to police the N-word. This isn't enough for me. Changing the name of the team in Washington, D.C. wouldn't be enough for me. I can't risk allowing football to help teach my son how to be a man.
