I don’t know if Bona Fide is the correct word (or words) but they popped into my head and made me think about Holly Hunter’s line in “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” I guess I feel “Bona Fide” now! Let’s revisit two little hints I may have given anyone that pays attention (or cares) earlier this year [...]

Back in the Game
Posted in Newspaper, Work on February 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I’m back in the game! No, not the dating game – thank God – but the covering high school sports game. I know, sounds silly but if you have ever had a dream, done it part-time, left it and then returned, you would know what I’m talking about. What am I talking about? Well, so [...]
The Dream is Over onto the Next One – September 14, 2009
Posted in Newspaper, Work on September 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The dream has ended. I’ve hung up my pen and notepad and have decided to move on with my life. No more long nights. No more intense drives around Snohomish County looking for a wireless signal. No more soaked paints, jacket, and socks from covering prep soccer games in the torrential rain. No more watching [...]
Snow, Rain and Floods – Oh My! – January 9, 2009
Posted in Work on January 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We’ve had one of our worst winters for snow that I can remember. In our backyard we had about 15-17 inches of snow. Then came the wind that blew the snow into snow dunes. We didn’t see our sidewalks for over three weeks. Then came the rain and warmer weather. And if you’re not familiar [...]
Feeling Down and Out – December 10, 2008
Posted in Nonsense, Work on December 10, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Thank you to those of you that continue to check up on my blog and comment on it. It gives me reason to continue writing, so here I am writing. There has been valid reason for me to not write as much. Most of that has to do with my work schedule and lack of [...]
Long Time, No Write

I hope you’re ready for the most random entry I’ve had in a long, long time! I’m currently at work and every time I get a tiny break I jot down nonsense. And here it is…today’s nonsense and a recap on what’s going on in the life of a Johnson. Do you ever feel like [...]
Boo! Happy Halloween 2008
Posted in Halloween, Insurance, Newspaper, Nonsense, Work on October 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Happy Halloween to everyone out there! I won’t be participating in any festivities this year because I work both jobs tonight. Nine to 6pm at job No. 1, 8pm to 11:30pm for job No. 2. Halloween will forever remind me of the kick arse time my brothers, Wes and I had in 2002 when we [...]
Tales from a Part-Time Sport Clerk
Posted in Newspaper, Work on October 30, 2008 | 1 Comment »
We don’t get much publicity, us lowly part-time sports clerks. The guys that get paid just a tad over minimum wage, answering phone calls from coaches before earning our stripes and actually getting an opportunity to cover an actual sports event. You read articles from the full-time writers. They even have their own blogs, but [...]
My First Day at School … I mean Work
Posted in Insurance, Work on October 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday was my first full day at my new job. It had been five years since I last started a new job and here I was starting at the bottom of the totem pole all over again. It felt different being the new guy. For the past 4-1/2 years I was da man. And now…now [...]
The Life Chaotic
Posted in Nonsense, Work on September 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Things have been chaotic lately so I thought I’d blog about every time my mind goes out on me. Here are a list of things that have led me to believe that things aren’t all there inside my head. * I completely renamed a volleyball coach for an item I wrote for Friday’s paper. Her [...]
