I’ll keep this entry short and simple. I’ve been scolded by a few other elected officials (city hall and others) for not taking “their side” in their ongoing battle with Highlands Community Association. Here’s my view on that….stop it already! There should not be any sides or an on-going feud. I’ve been voting with my experience and my conscience, which happens to match many of the views of HCA in recent months. See my Highlands blogs below if you want to know why I’ve taken these positions on these issues. And I’m super-proud of my colleagues on council that have weighed the issues the same way I have, and not let personalities become the issue instead. Anyone who approaches me to tell me that I need to change my view because it came from HCA, sounds like a Hatfield telling me I can never support the idea of a McCoy. I won’t be part of this. Life is too short to spend it throwing rocks at your neighbors. And as elected officials, we have a responsibility to set positive examples, not to prolong or exacerbate pointless feuding. I trust you will all understand and support me on this.

She looks so professional in her uniform I had to show her off….
My wife and I once lived in this beautiful Renton hotel for a week before our daughter shown above was even born. The years go by so quickly!
River Days Fun Run!
2006
Written by Randy Corman
We teamed up with another family to participate in the River Days Fun Run this morning, which benefits Communities in Schools. We called our team “over the top” which seemed a little fitting consider how goofy we may have looked!
Yes, running with 5 year olds and pushing strollers and being detoured by potty breaksmay not get you the speediest time…..
But it can get you the winning view of the fastest runners as they enter the home stretch!
We had a GREAT time, and the walk was organized supurbly…shirts, water, refreshments, and music at the end. Good accomodation for speedsters like those shown, and the over the top families like ourselves. We were also in the parade this morning, and had no difficulty making it to the start on time. Thanks Recreation Staff and Fun Run Sponsors! (Valley Medical Center, Valley Orthopedic, Wizards of the Coast, Proliance Surgeons, Cat’s Eye Group, Sign Prints, Inc.)
