Just recently a couple of girls who were flying on a “Buddy Pass” were denied access to a flight because they were wearing yoga pants. …
Winter is finally letting go of its grip on the Pacific Northwest. My husband continually reminds me that this has been a record-breaking rainy winter in Seattle’s history. (He’s not a fan of the constant rain.) And while it continues to drip outside, the temperatures are warming bit by bit. The trees around the neighborhood signal …
