the morning bull pen

Last night the trophy was finally bestowed upon this year's winner for Yakima's Sexiest Male Bartender, Craig Chacon at Famous Dave's. And here's his answer to the question that's on everybody's mind ...

The trophy has arrived!! That means it's time to crown the king of this year's search for Yakima's Sexiest Male Bartender -- Craig Chacon at Famous Dave's. The award ceremony will take place today (May 30) at 4:30 p.m. at Famous Dave's in the Valley Mall and all are welcome!

I recently caught the previews for ABC's remake of Dirty Dancing while watching TV. Inside I cringed. Not because of the movie Dirty Dancing, but whenever I hear the world "remake."

He's practicing with the Seahawks! Free agent Colin Kaepernick, along with Robert Griffin III, are rumored to be working out with the Seahawks today, seeking a reserve quarterback spot. As a Seahawk fan I'm not really sure how I feel about the possibility of Colin becoming a Seahawk. It's not his playing that I have an issue with, it's his attitude and disrespect.

Out of 100 women, guess who took the title of Maxim magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive for 2017?

My family and I have decided that it's time to take action! We have collectively decided that each quarter we are going to volunteer. Our first family volunteer outing was for Northwest Harvest. Our shift was Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We packed food bags for schoolkids. Jackson, 12, and Shaylee, 11, had a great time! They are already asking when we are going back.

Sugar gliders are nocturnal animals, so every morning when I'm eating my breakfast before leaving for work I get a little entertainment from our sugar gliders and the cat. Marshmallow used to bother me while I was eating my breakfast for our alone time. Now, she has something more fun to do.

The winner of the third annual search for Yakima's Sexiest Male Bartender is ... Craig Chacon, who tends bar at Famous Dave's!

He was the bull known simply known as K24 until he earned his rodeo name, "Doctor Proctor," by head-butting Shane Proctor. Someone shouted "Proctor needs a doctor" and the name stuck.

The warm weather brings out bugs, flowers and toes. Yes ... sandal-wearing time means those little piggies who haven't seen the light of day in months now need a little sprucing up. I took my twinkle toes to the nail salon for their sprucing up (pedicure). While there, I discovered a new polish. It's called Chrome. They also have one called Cat Eye.

If you grew up being bullied then you can probably guess what a recent survey found -- it's a "duh" moment. The study revealed that kids who are bullied are more likely to get plastic surgery. Really? You needed a survey to tell you this?

If you binge-watch shows on Netflix maybe you've stumbled across the show "Girlboss." My friend Sol gave me a synopsis of the show and how it mentioned Yakima in a recent episode.
