A vivid childhood memory: one winter evening in the early 90s, my family stopped in for dinner. As we waited for the food to arrive, I went to look at all the baseball cards up front and I felt a tap on my shoulder and got a "hey kid" from Bobby V himself.
On this day in 2017 I closed the original Bobby Valentine s Sports Gallery Cafe after 38 years of great memories. Thanks too all who helped make the good times roll.

The EPA made a rare move under the Clean Water Act effectively vetoing the Pebble Mine near Bristol Bay, AK. It's 1500 miles away, but this is big news for many in the Puget Sound region. @KNKXBellamy joined @EmilMoffatt on ATC to explain. knkx.org/2023-01-31/epa-veto…

Today is El Dia De Los Reyes, or Three Kings Day. I went to a bakery in White Center to chat with people for @knkxfm. Hear that story tonight on All Things Considered.

Patrick Haggerty is a true loss. I talked to him in February, and he shared a moving story about one of his songs and the new meaning its taken on in the 50 years he's played it. But that was only about 10 minutes of a nearly 5 hour conversation...
Patrick Haggerty of the gay country band Lavender Country has died, at 78. The band started in Seattle and Haggerty lived in Bremerton.

Can't wait for this. Scott is terrific.
Thursday on @nprfreshair - my interview with Scott Franzke, radio voice of the Phila Phillies - talking about the World Series, baseball, and the life of a hometown baseball announcer - it's fun.

Page was always so generous with his time. His insight made us better reporters. May his family find strength and peace.

“His greatness does not come from the legendary calls, the ones everyone remembers. No, they come from summer nights like tonight, under a dimming sky, when he kindly calls another baseball game.”

America’s employers shrugged off high inflation and weakening growth to add 372,000 jobs in June, a surprisingly strong gain that will likely spur the Federal Reserve to keep sharply raising interest rates to cool the economy and slow price increases. wabe.org/us-employers-add-a-…
