Happy New Year!

SANTA SAYS >>>> You will notice that Santa is not his usual blabbermouth self.  I'm not sure about you, but for me, this week is all about recovery, booze and a steadfast devotion to trying to break my own record for the shortest time adhering to his New Year's resolutions. Right now

NORAD tracking my flight

SANTA SAYS >>>> Ho-ho-holy crap it's cold up here. Well, friends, my reindeer team, Papa Elf and I are on the clock. Papa Elf is dialed in with the North American Aerospace Defense Command with the weird, kid-friendly website that tracks my toy-delivering flight. You may follow me here. The Santa NORAD tracking

Expand Yoga on Christmas Eve

SANTA SAYS >>>> There is something awfully mysterious about yoga. When Santa first paid attention to the word back in the mid-1950s, I thought it was something Yogi Berra did when no one was looking. For years yoga remained a shrouded practice in the United States, as if hoarded by a few

Give the gift of Lorenzo Lamas

SANTA SAYS >>>> Nothing says "holiday spirit" better than telephonic contact with Lou Ferrigno, Ron "Horshack" Palillo, Larry Holmes or any of the other washed-up nobodies who are now touching base with their "fans" in calls of up to 30 seconds in duration.

Give the gift of First Night Tacoma

SANTA SAYS >>>> There are many differences between the New Year's celebrations of New York City and Tacoma, the most telling of which is the trajectory of each ball. In New York, the ball drops - another year down the tubes. In Tacoma, however, the ball is set on fire.            "We're really

Salvation Army Tacoma to the rescue

SANTA SAYS >>>> There's no better way to support your community than supporting your neighbors in need, especially during the holiday season. The Weekly Volcano has partnered with the United Way of Pierce County on a 12-month campaign focused on the issue of homelessness and affordable housing. The

Grand Prix Raceway

SANTA SAYS >>>> The best-ever answer to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" came from Crow T. Robot of Mystery Science Theater 3000, who responded: "I want to decide who lives and who DIES!" After that, we're all pretty much amateurs. But in case anybody out there really gives an ounce

Olympia Mahayana Buddhist Center gift certificates

SANTA SAYS >>>> You are doomed. You are all doomed if you do not give a gift certificate from Olympia Mahayana Buddhist Center. Buddhists have all that karma business in the bag, and if you do not give the gift of meditation, you will probably rue the day. Arguably, the beautiful thing

Tempur-Pedic SeatCushion Pillow

SANTA SAYS >>>> Santa loves lists. Before he dreams of sugarplums, he makes a list of what he'd like to accomplish the next day. Santa is, in fact, so manic about his list-keeping that if he does something that isn't on the list I'll write it down just so I can
