Roll, Tide, Roll, Cards

10:47 AM Wed, Aug 29, 2007 |

I'm as thrilled as Virginia about college football finally being here! It marks the true start of Fall when you hear the scream of the crowds, the crunch of the pads and the drumbeat of the marching bands.

Of course, it also means we're just two months away from UK Basketball season, with our new multi-million dollar coach. Nick Saban and Billy Gillispie have one thing in common - they could rival Atlas with all that weight on their s...



Roll Tide Roll, Baby!

It is finally here! College football season officially kicks off Saturday and I am soooo stoked. It will be the first game that Nick Saban, our $4 million-a-year coach, will be in charge of the Crimson Tide.

You have no idea how exciting that is to me. In fact, I spotted an Alabama fan...



Dancing with St. Louis Stars

Virginia

Okay, I have done a lot of adventurous things in St Louis. Rappelling from tall buildings, riding wild bulls, even standing in the Dome of Death with motorcycles spinning above my head BUT this is the most frightening of all.
I have entered the Dancing with St. Louis Stars competition. I am teamed with a professional dancer and I must learn a routine and perform it in front of hundreds of people at the Chase.

This could be me on...



MODERN MIRACLE

11:42 AM Fri, Aug 24, 2007 |

I'm about to become a dad for the third time, and boy how things have changed! It's not just the gadgets, and the really cool swings and monitors they've developed in the past ten years.

It's the ability to see your child - in living color - months before she's born:

These 3d/4d ult...



SOMEBODY GET ME A DOCTOR!

Van Halen is coming!

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, so here goes: I am obsessed with the Van Halen reunion tour.
There, I said it. I've been waiting 22 years for this to happen, and was nearly convinced it wouldn't. After our stint on the Dave Glover show last week...



Hitting the Radio Waves

Virginia

If you want to hear Marc, Matt, Paul and me uncut and unedited, then tune us in this afternoon at 4 o'clock on the Dave Glover Show. We will be rockin' the airwaves on 97.1Talk until 6 tonight and again tomorrow from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. When Dave and Turbrock leave town they let us fill in from time to time. You never know what you will find out about us. We don't have a producer in charge, so it gets pretty interesting. Plus you can call in and ...



FAIR OR BALANCED?

12:15 PM Fri, Aug 10, 2007 |

Which one is it? Is it possible the the media deserves neither of those adjectives? And yes, I'm talking about the media in general, not a particular network. Perception is everything when it comes to the buying public, and according to a new poll from the Pew Research Group, nobody is buying the media's honesty or neutrality:

YOU HAVE TO ASTERISK...DID THEY JUICE?

11:39 AM Wed, Aug 08, 2007 |

I was already questioning this home run record Barry Bonds set last night, but now many more records may need an * next to them for reasons that have nothing to do with steroid allegations.

Did you know the way baseballs are made was changed dramatically in 1977? That is the allegation of a CT S...



DID YOU DINO?

10:48 AM Mon, Aug 06, 2007 |

I'm hearing some great feedback about the Walking with Dinosaurs show, especially from the 10 & Under set. Check out these pictures someone sent:

The one complaint I heard is that it's a "bit heavy" on the science lesson, but it seems to me you have a captive audience so why not take advantage of it? Check out these R...



Looking to the Future

Virginia

Wow! I can't believe all the emails and responses of encouragement I have received since I posted my last blog entry.
Some of you even sent before and after pictures of yourselves. Thank you!
I spoke with Keath Hausher today. In fact, we have video of the interview about getting back on track on our website. He says we should not focus on the mistakes (and added weight) but focus on the future.
Which means I can't focus on th...
