Birds of a feather will drink together—from a delightfully eerie birdbath (bar) called the Krö Bar in Bothell, Washington. Bothell is known for its murders of crows, the sky and fields thick like thieves with them. And if you can’t beat them, join them—at the bar. Nate, Alex, and I did, and we are still… Continue reading Murder, She Drank: Krö Bar Visit

The Fixin’ Leaks ‘n Leeks Ohana Attends a Luau
Hips don’t lie. We went to a luau in Hawaii and did more than our share of a hula or two. Yep, the Fixin’ Leeks ‘n Leaks Team has talked about going to a luau, but we’ve never done it.

The whole thing wedged itself sturdily between my feet, under the seat in front of me. Here’s the catch: As much as I… Continue reading Yes, You Have to Fly Over the Water to Get to Hawaii
Fall Foray Through Port Townsend
“Jump in the leaves enough times, and you’ll find an octopus.” If I had a dime for every time I heard this cautionary phrase, I’d have no dimes because no one says that. But if you take a day trip to Port Townsend in Washington state in the fall, you can jump in the leaves… Continue reading Fall Foray Through Port Townsend
Bula! The Fixin’ Leaks and Leeks Team Visits Fiji
Mini Fiji, which consists of a hot tub near the Fixin’ Leaks and Leeks Headquarters—and a bunch of tropical flowers—is nice, but it naturally falls short of the actual Fiji Islands. For instance, it’s missing fruit bats and soooo many more coconuts and stingrays and such. So we time-traveled two days and five hours, to… Continue reading Bula!
