Hello sports fans...

9:44 AM Wed, Apr 30, 2008 |

This is one of those stories you've got to see to believe. If you've watched the PGA at all during the past 10 years...you know the trials of tribulations of John Daly. John is a gregarious, outspoken party animal who also happens to be one of the biggest hitters on the tour. I mean the guy can flat out smack a golf ball 300 yards, but it's generally his excessive partying that damaged his career. Now he's apparently designing golf co...



Weekend Update

Okay, so maybe I didn't go to the Van Halen concert this weekend. In fact, if I'd had my way, I would have been at Jimmy Buffet Thursday night. But ratings month started that day and me coming in at 3:30 a.m. after a night with the Parrot Heads would have not been smart or pretty.

I went to the March of Dimes March for Babies Saturday. I ran the 5k with Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder. Well, we started off together. I heard he didn'...

23 years.

276 months.

And Diamond Dave summed it all up Saturday night with one line: "Better late than never!"
The version of Van Halen that took the stage Saturday night at S...

So I was in the market for a new summer handbag and I am constantly seeing my coworker Diane with same as new Coach purses she bought off Ebay.
I decided to try it. I had never purchased anything before from the internet auction site. Just looked.
I was looking for a straw handbag with leather trim and found the perfect one. What I thought was perfect.

Check out the picture that was posted on Ebay.

EARTHQUAKE!

12:05 PM Fri, Apr 18, 2008 |

What a morning. I was sitting in the newsroom at 4:37 this morning when the 5.2 magnitude quake hit, and like many people, it was hard to believe at first. Our studios sit very near I-70 downtown, and it's not unusual for tractor-trailers to rumble through the depressed section and cause vibrations in our building. Here's a link to a video of our reactions, posted by our crew this morning on KMOV.COM

Hey You Dog Lovers!!!

Oh my goodness! Did you happen to see the episode on Oprah dedicated to dogs two weeks ago? It was heart breaking. They went undercover to expose puppy farms. They showed dogs that had NEVER walked on solid ground because they were kept in chicken wire cages to breed repeatedly until they were too old and no longer fertile. There were dogs kept in hamster wheel cages so that they had to continuously run. Dogs that had chains embedded into thei...



She's Gone Country

Virginia

I'm from Alabama. Haven't lived there in 10 years but I am a southerner. I left there wanting everything opposite of what I grew up with. I stopped going to church, went polar opposite on my political views and you would NEVER find me listening to country music.

I still remember very vividly making that cross country trip to Missoula, Montana in my box on wheels Volvo, blaring my collection of Ani Difranco cd's, and feeling incredibly ...
