Kelly DavenportMy life in T-shirts: Ask Me About My Cat - Legalize Frostitution - Death Before Decaf. You get the idea. I enjoy lint-rolling, bons mots, magazine launch parties (if I was invited), paying too much for groceries, and the occasional semicolon.

Laura Gentry...lives in Seattle (so you don’t have to) with her cat Peanut Zeta-Jones. The self-proclaimed “Webmeister” of TheNewsTribune.com, Laura spends her spare time driving on I-5, sifting through estate sales, writing songs about Miss Zeta-Jones and wishing she was somewhere else regardless of where she is. You can reach her at laura.gentry@thenewstribune.com, but it’s in your best interest not to.

"Steve Craig left one of the city’s more unusual collections when he died in his sleep in one of Tacoma’s more unusual homes."
That's what C.R. Roberts writes in a story about the upcoming auction of Craig's stuff. And he had a lot of stuff.
Alan Gorsuch of Sanford & Son has been organizing the collection, which includes:
• An embalming table
• A dentist’s station featuring chair with spit bowl, drill and tools
• An arm and a leg (from a human skeleton)
• Life-size “birthing doll” used by medical students
• Badges, plates, tickets, photo books
• Pinball machines
• Shuffleboard game
• Juke boxes
• Complete soda fountain
• Tiki bar
• Pornography of a sort not spoken of in family newspapers
So if you want a piece of that, here are the details:
Where: 715 Court C, Opera Alley, downtown Tacoma
When: Monday and April 28; preview 9 to 10 a.m. both days; auction begins at 10 a.m. Auctioneers say a third auction will likely be needed; time, date and location to be determined.
Information: Sanford & Son Antiques & Auctions, 253-272-0334
