How I Met Lady Kara of House Tully
Game of Thrones is one of those shows that has encapsulated folks across the world, from all walks of life. I got into the show a season or two into its run, and some of my friends shortly after. I’ve had friends tell me their reactions to various scenes, like my friend Ser Brandon who threatened to quit the show after the Red Wedding. Other friends didn’t care for it and have stated their reasons for not watching and wear it like a badge of honor—like Bry, who said he refrained from the program because of his religious beliefs, much to the annoyance of Ser Brandon and myself.

Combat Sports Night at a Bar Can Be Fun
After a long day of the district softball tournament, I went to Wild Rivers Bar and Grill in East Wenatchee for a couple of cold ones and dinner to end the day.

'I Survived Ritzville, I Can Survive This'
Note: This post contains mentions of suicidal behavior, imposter syndrome and other potential triggers. I recently celebrated my 34th birthday.
