Do you remember?

10:33 AM Wed, May 28, 2008 |

Quick...hum the theme song to your favorite TV show.

Well? I tried, but other than CSI Miami, which uses a favorite song from The Who, I usually draw a blank on current TV shows. I wonder why, because most of us can remember the theme song to our favorite shows when we were kids. That's why the death of a largely unknown producer this week is so sad.

We, the media, continue to cover the fact that Chrysler is offering to "Refuel America" - if only you'll buy a brand new car!
C'mon people, do the ma...



Losing Weight

8:37 AM Tue, May 20, 2008 |
Virginia

I did a story about a weight loss technique that is gaining popularity in the United States.
I first saw it on Easter Sunday night. A guy was demonstrating it on a television show.
The "secret" is you lose the desire to eat when you are emotional. You know, those uncontrollable urges to down a pint of ice cream, eat two candy bars or maybe a big bag of M&M's.

I am a total emotional eater. I have been struggling with it sin...



RAVENWOOD!

9:21 AM Fri, May 16, 2008 |

I admit it.
I'm a sap when it comes to movie sequels and 80's rock band reunions. You can add the new Indiana Jones movie to that list. I was already excited when I heard about a 4th installment, but then I found out Karen Allen is back! Maybe it's some juvenile crush I had on Katy in Animal House, but I just love this actress, and I'm thrilled they're letting Marion Ravenwood hook up with Indy again! Here's a peek at the traile...



A CURE FOR VIOLENCE?

This was our lead story this morning - "A deadly night of violence in St. Louis." In a span of 7 hours, 5 lives were lost to senseless violence. As Journ...



Did they really waste money on that?

10:54 AM Mon, May 12, 2008 |

Sometimes I'm handed a story that even I can't believe we're running. Often those stories are health related, and often they are the results of studies someone spent alot of money on. So, on the day after Mother's Day, I'm given this:

"MANY MOMS HEAD BACK TO WORK THIS MORNING....WISHING THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO.
A NEW CAREERBUILDER.COM SURVEY FOUND OVER 50 PERCENT OF WORKING MOMS WOULD QUIT THEIR JOB IF THEIR SPOUSE MADE ENOUGH M...



Mother's Day

7:40 AM Thu, May 08, 2008 |
Virginia

I won't see my mom for Mother's Day but she certainly deserves to have a special one this year. She's been through a lot. But watching how she is able to take on life's challenges and keep charging ahead motivates me and encourages me.

I don't have children, so I don't have the experience to know what it's like to worry, support, sacrifice and all the other remarkable things moms do. I do know that it wasn't until I moved away that my ...



Plastic Surgery

Virginia

No, I'm not getting anything done. Not yet at least. I will tell you when that happens.
I have a story running Tuesday on the 10 PM show. I visited a plastic surgeon and took pictures of some pretty messed up looking celebrities. Priscilla Presley, Kenny Rogers (poor man) and Meg Ryan, to name a few.
I wanted to know where these people went wrong. Priscilla Presley looks like she was stung by bees with her new marshmellow look. >> Continue reading: Plastic Surgery
