Shameless Plugs

Plug #1: Watch my story tonight at 10pm, “Eat This, Not That.” I’m pretty sure you’ll be surprised at some of the information we’ll be sharing. The bottom line is this: Find out how to drop 10 pounds with very little effort. Really.
Plug #2: I’ll be blogging a lot [...]

Please Do Not Disturb

You won’t see me today at 4:00. I’ll be sleeping. If you watched NBC5 Today, you might have noticed me in the chair, not Brendan. (Although at that hour, you’ll be forgiven if you did not notice.) The alarm goes off at 2:30am on that shift, so forgive me for the [...]

The Nothing Day

So we’re in the studio right before the newscast yesterday and Nate says, “Man, I hate Mondays!” (Nate is our floor director. For one hour every day, he tells Kristi and me what to do.) But I disagree. Here’s how I see it:
Monday: Up and at ‘em. I always [...]

Meeting Hellga

By all accounts, the Healthfit Expo was a big success this year. I was there for a couple of hours yesterday. Thanks to all of you who stopped by the booth and said hello. It’s always fun to meet our friends on the other side of the tube.
Behind the booth we have [...]

It’s A Beautiful Day

I mean it. I don’t know about you, but I had way too much to get done today. The last thing I needed was an ice storm. Cold rain was just fine with me.
Kudos to our weather guys (and gal). This unfolded almost exactly as they said it would. I’ve [...]

UFOs and Cars

First let’s talk about the military’s revelation regarding the Stephenville UFO sightings. We now know that there were F-16s in the area that night. But it still doesn’t add up for me. Like I said in my previous post, the witnesses seem too credible. Everyone knows what fighter jets look like, [...]

Heath Ledger

I got back into town last night from a couple of days off, and the first message I got from the station was that actor Heath Ledger had been found dead. What a shocker. It is one of those stories that reaches out and grabs you because it is so unexpected and untimely. [...]

You Obviously Like Sausage…

…Because you keep coming back to the Factory. You see, we have ways of knowing these things. In just a couple of weeks, you’ve propelled my blog to within reach of Newy’s in terms of readership. He’s still the king. But keep clicking, and pass along the link (get it?) to [...]

I’m An Addict

As I was driving out of my neighborhood this afternoon, panic struck. I realized I was nearly naked. The Blackberry… WHERE’S THE BLACKBERRY?!?!?
I knew I had clipped it to my belt. I just knew it! But it wasn’t there. U-turn. Back to the house. Fly in the [...]
