Here is a sentence I never thought I would utter “I had a business trip in Yakima”. Not that I have anything against Yakima, but I just never expected to need to head there.
This week I did in fact need to go and was lucky enough to get to spend some time with my grand-parents Joe and Doe.
Before dinner I checked out Joe’s amazing wooden model of an Ercoupe Airplane. Each little part made by hand, without instructions, all from wood. The steering wheels turn the flaps (or whatever those things are called), the landing gears have little wooden shock absorbs that move, it is an amazing model.
Generally speaking, my family is chocked full of creative folks, my grandpa does this (and used to rebuild the real thing), I have an uncles who either designing adverting or building a plane in garage, cousins who dance and draw. This could be biggest indicator I was switched a birth. Somewhere this is an engineer in a family full of really attractive people trying to figure how he fits in.
As part of the trip I went to Richland, Washington. Not much to say…except this little riddle. What is a SMORGY?

hey now– yakima is famous for hundreds of things… apples, wine, G&G and perhaps most famous–place of my birth. REPRESENT BIG Y!
Richland–can’t help you there. I think a Smorgy is their high-school football mascot that resembles an all you can eat buffet.

Ah gez, how could I leave out mentioning your birth place being there?!?
I figured SMORGY is just an Orgy or S’mores. Which has absolutely nothing appealing in it’s name.
