Remember yesterday I said the coolest thing in Vegas was SXSW-V2V? Well, that was a mistake. I forgot that Peter O'Connell was in town.... not for SXSW, but for one of his many marketing commitments. Naturally, I had to drag him off for dinner last night with another Vegas voicer: Dustin Ebaugh. ...
Truckee, CA is a small, quaint community just North of Lake Tahoe. Truckee has a rich history in the mountains near Squaw Valley. It's set in what's known as the "Tahoe/Donner" region. You've heard of Donner....the "Donner Party"... a group of Mormon homesteaders who got trapped at this high...
My Dad was born about the time the Ford Model-T became popular. He died in the middle of the digital boom, even though he wasn't part of it. I marvel at the changes he experienced, but I'm even more astounded by the pace of change WE are all seeing now. Technology is a blessing and a...
Serious pie from the Blue Owl Cafe in historic Kimswick, MO on the Mississippi River South of St. Louis. Supposedly there are 24 apples in this pie.
You haven't seen the Emmy-award winning show? OK, sign-on to Netflix and start watching. The first four seasons are available (no commercials!) Most who have started...can't stop watching. The AMC series is gritty, depressing at times, extremely well-written, displays high-production values,...

...said to be the #1 thing people fear most. (It's actually looking like a fool they fear, but Public Speaking tends to make you look foolish). It never ceases to amaze me that people think I'd be a good public speaker because I'm a TV news anchor. If they thought about it, they'd realize I...
All my professional life I've never been able to take off my birthday. The all-important November TV ratings period happens in November, and unless you're coughing up blood, you'd better be at your post in the newsroom. But while I'm physically present, that doesn't mean I have to be mentally,...
Last week was a wash. Literally. I washed up on the shores of Belize, Isla Roatan, and Cozumel on a cruise ship excursion with my family, and two other families for a week. Yeah. Hate that. The picture of me there is on the beach at Passion Island North of Cozumel. 'An afternoon that I kinda...
