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 [...]
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

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 [...]
Blogging from the Sox Game – August 21, 2008
Posted in Baseball, Newspaper, Work on August 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One of my favorite things to do for the Herald is to cover an Everett AquaSox game. The AquaSox are the Single-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. I’m the second string reporter for the Sox. Since our usual Sox reporter is unavailable (covering the Everett Silvertips, our Western Hockey League team that has turnedEverett into [...]
Things that are irking me – October 9, 2007
Posted in Insurance, Newspaper, Nonsense, Work on October 10, 2007 | 3 Comments »
As you can see I’m bored at work and wanting to get things off my mind. Lately I’ve been feeling a little on the depressed side. No, it’s not because I just turned 30. I just feel like I’m not being the best person I can be. Here are some of the things that are [...]
My So Called Life…as a Prep Sports Writer – April 30, 2007
Posted in Newspaper, Work on April 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s not so bad sometimes. Sure I bitch and moan about working so many hours (a combined 58.5 this week between both jobs) and I have to go straight from one job to the next often seeing my darling 2-year-old son for just an hour each day, but hey I’m doing something I always wanted [...]
More of Colton’s Story – March 29, 2007

I guess my story was also on MSNBC.com (see below) and a local TV station ran a story a day after my story was released. A coincidence? I think not! Click here for the video. Teen uses Make-A-Wish for generous act – News – MSNBC.com
A bit of our own March Madness – March 28, 2007
Posted in A Kevy Favorite, Basketball, Newspaper, Work on March 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I had one of those weekends I may never forget. Not because Lis and I did our first real house shopping with a realtor, but because of the two basketball games that we played on Sunday. Games that were determined with last minute dramatics. First a backdrop to the amazing story that I will tell [...]
