Recently by Stephanie StricklenI'm officially on vacation through the first week in September! I landed in Shanghai less than 24 hours ago and am overwhelmed at the size of this city. It's hard to make Beijing look small, but Shanghai does. I came on the heels of that terrible rainstorm here that flooded the streets and killed a woman who drowned in a tunnel. The rain is gone and you wouldn't know what happened here if you didn't read about it in the local papers... Hey there!! This health blog is likely going completely dormant for the next, oh, two months. In the short-term.. wontcha consider visiting me here? http://beloblog.com/KGW_Blogs/olympics/ Yeah, yeah.. wontcha isn't a word. Neither is "gonna". And that wasn't a sentence. I know, I know. :-) ...Hey there!! This health blog is likely going completely dormant for the next, oh, two months.

I know, I know. :-) ...Did you see me at 4:30 this morning talk about the watermelon story? I broke into a wide smile-- knowing this was perfect blog fodder. I think I even said as much. And then when the story made a reappearance at 5:50am... I knew it had to go in today. It's very easy to over-simplify and say that eating watermelon will give you.. ahem.. a boost in the bedroom. But, it's not that simple. Let's start with a link that will bre... Just got the word about an hour and a half ago that I will need to double up on my visa's for China-- so that I can extend my stay. This after the consulate in San Francisco assured me there was no problem using my NBC provided credential for travel (it was supposed to serve as a three month visa-- which it does, but NBC news is now recommending people double up to play it extra safe. It would suck for me to get there only to get denied my p... I am knee deep... no, waist deep... in preparations for the Olympic Games in Beijing! Have I mentioned this here, yet?? I know we've talked about it on the air during the morning show, but I can't remember if I've laid it out here. Anyway, I leave July 31st for about 6 weeks. WOW!! Right now, I'm making calls.. trying to line up stories, find local folks/businesses/students who are going over there.. contacting athletes.. se... http://www.kgw.com/lifestyle/stories/kgw_062708_entertainment_shockwave_truck.44d5af9e.html I'm still smiling. :-D ...I'm back from vacation and slowly getting back into the swing of things. I've got some very fun stuff to share with you about my vacation-- which I hope to post later today. I also have some McGorge Scott photos to share and some of your emails. BUT FIRST: Here is that link that helps clarify exactly how much sun we should all get... No health stuff today! I'm anchoring the full am and noon news, so I've been busy with that. And I'm out of town for the next few days.. so I'll be back blogging mid next week. In the meantime.. let me solve the puzzle of what was wrong with that picture I showed you.
For those of you whe weren't up at 4:30am with me this morning.. I have to share something that happened-- after I get some business taken care of first. Let me link you to more on that story about middle class Americans taking the brunt of the current explosion in the numbers of the under-insured. |
