In and around this burg, there are many ways — and umpteen places — to enjoy a great burger.

I've always kind of wondered about pug passion. As much as I am an equal opportunity dog lover, the bug-eyed, plate-faced pugs have never really captured my fancy. I say this with trepidation since I know they've pretty much cornered most-favored status among Seattle's canine bantam weights.

You can disparage Ballard as you will -- "not as cool as it once was," "too many condos," "Geoff Carter lives there" -- but you can't deny that its residents give a hell of a lot of money to listener-supported radio. In recognition of the neighborhood's solid fundraising efforts during last summer's pledge drive, KEXP will be broadcasting live from Ballard from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, May 9.

If your kid is the type to spend hours sketching dream outfits, you'll be happy to know about the new Make It Workshop that opened last week in West Seattle.

Opening in Wallingford this Saturday, Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream promises to be to ice cream what another Wallingford favorite, Mighty-O, is to doughnuts.

Since Monday, the Seattle Animal Shelter has been promoting
Be Kind to Animals Week. I love the sentiment and admire the work of the
Seattle Animal Shelter. I have a major soft spot for them, since that's where I found my dog Lulu. In the spirit of the thing, the Shelter suggests excellent actions such as encouraging family and friends to spay or neuter their pets, creating spaces for wildlife, reporting animal abuse or neglect, volunteering at your local animal shelter and speaking out on the importance of respecting animals.

I don't put away the cheeseburgers the way I used to. Damn you, borderline cholesterol levels! Tasty burgers have become something I have to work up to -- the reward at the end of a long road paved with salads and tofu.

First, things slowed down at Itchmo.com, eventually posts ground to a halt and then the URL went kerflooey.

When "World's Largest Running Store" Road Runner Sports
came to town a few years ago, I ignored the store entirely, continuing to buy my shoes and gear
from one of the local shops. Last week, though, a friend who is the fitness director at Seattle Athletic Club suggested I check out Road Runner in Greenlake. He said I would find
both fit experts and a selection every bit as good as the local shops.

Last year when Danielle Luartes, owner of Tweed in
Greenwood, moved her shop to a larger location, she also added some
plus-size lines to her inventory. It was a brilliant move, since many
collections sold in local boutiques are designed for smaller bodies,
and even the extra-larges are anything but large.
