But! I did have a visit from a virtual blog-pal.....yes, in the flesh .....Kevin!!
we chatted about all things Tacoma.....yeah Us!
my pal Julie was here hanging around and she is old school Tacoma so we 3 were all excited about chatting about Tacoma and all the doings, the bars, the restaurants, the rants, the SoDo, my neighbors, Freighthouse Sq., LeMay You-See-Um...will it come or not? And all manner, like I said, of Tacoma !!!!
And Kenny popped in .....used to have Yung's Teriyaki next door....
and folks from Seattle here to see Girl Trouble.....
I told them my daughter Jan was a Go-Go dancer for GT along with Neko Case
back in the day (yes that Neko Case!)
And many more visited funkoma (I directed folks to eateries...The Chamber of Commerce should pay ME !! big time !!)
Here's what I have now for a garden.....good start...needs a big weedin' and some color ! hurrrrry up spring !
I really wanna see the flowers, the dahlias, the Tagro display (my gal pal Amber works for the County in the um, Tagro department ..she has a shitty job.....no joke)

Here's the 411, homies (I love using old outdated hip urban language since I must mock myself before you do)
Have I told you I had an organic farm, sold at GigHarbor Farmers Mkt, and had a landscaping business for a while? No. Consider yerself told, then.
