Where's the nearest Payless?

I can't tell you how many times I've had to seek relief at a discount shoe store while traveling in uncomfortable shoes.

In addition, ladies are you really having fun when your feet hurt due to high heels? Share your high heel horror story on my blog.

First Landing State Park

Spent a few hours in the park over the weekend. Put this on your bucket list of must visit places.

Trails are terrific and there's a nice beach as well.

Ok I can sink.

I have finished the classroom and swimming pool portion of the SCUBA certification. Big thanks to new mom and awesome reporter Lindsey Roberts for giving me encouragement to continue the program. Also big thanks to Dana Chapman. He must be the most patient SCUBA instructor under the sea.

What's next? Open water training in Lake Rawlings. I have to complete four open water dives.

Did you know...

I learned today the Half Moon Cruise Terminal in downtown Norfolk is open anytime for people who want to enjoy the view from the deck? All you have to do is take the elevator to the second floor to drink it all in.There are a few chairs and tables there if you'd like to sit a spell.

Another interesting thing to do from the deck is to watch the work being done on Town Point Park. I drive by the park each day on my way to work, bu...



Breaking Bad Habits

10:14 AM Sun, Mar 22, 2009 |

My mother would be the first to tell you, she's not a cook. She was a busy working single mother, and my cries to visit my favorite fast food joint were often answered. She wasn't just trying to be convenient, it likely was more nutirional then what we had at home, I remember some baked chicken she made once, 4 hours later it was still bleeding and we ordered Chinese takeout when it was all over.

Fast Forward 15 years or so t...



Sink or Swim

9:51 PM Wed, Mar 18, 2009 |

At the risk of totally embarrassing myself, I am scheduled to begin SCUBA lessons at the end of March.
As you may have heard, I learned to swim just two years ago with the help of swim instructor Leslie Paul.
Now at the urgings of my glamorous colleague Lindsey Roberts, I am going to take SCUBA lessons.
Keep in mind, I have never jumped into open water from a raised platform. But, I think I can do...



Back to the Basics...

6:44 AM Sun, Mar 15, 2009 |

Each morning I hop into my car which is in the safety of my garage and head to work. I drive by my neighbors and wave, some of them I know but most who I don't.
Sadly, it's become the norm for so many of us. As a reporter we often interview people's neighbors when something tragic happens. An increasing number of neighbors are telling me they don't know or talk to their neighbors. It's easy to understand with our demanding bus...
