I’ve read the original edition three times — and each time I’ve walked away with something new. His voice feels so alive on the page: candid, witty, reflective, and surprisingly vulnerable. Desi wasn’t just the charismatic bandleader and Ricky Ricardo on I Love Lucy — he was a visionary producer, an immigrant success story, and… Read More Revisiting The Book by Desi Arnaz
Back in November, we got an email asking if we were interested in working the merchandise booth for The Lion King when it arrives in Spokane. We, of course, signed up, and over the holiday, we had a Zoom call with Disney, where we were told they would love to have us. At the end… Read More Our time with The Lion King Rafiki Tour

While we waited for breakfast to cook, we had cocoa and cinnamon rolls and got caught up with… Read More Christmas

This weekend, we spent time volunteering at Spokane’s Hoopfest, the largest 3×3 basketball game in the world. It was a lot of fun and a great new location: the Pavillion in Riverside Park, where we sold the event’s merchandise. This year, both of us mainly worked on keeping items stocked on the floor and moving… Read More Volunteering at Hoopfest
