Sexy Sells

The new blog stats are out, and Jane thumped us all.  I’m pretty sure that’s a first.  She topped perennial king Newy by more than a thousand hits! 
It’s further proof that sexy sells. (As if we needed any.)  Jane’s blog about highly personal grooming habits rocketed her into the blogosphere stratosphere. 
So what’s my comeback strategy?
Not sure.  [...]

Flip a Coin on Idol

Has there ever been a tougher choice on American Idol?  I don’t think so.  Both Davids — Archuleta and Cook — could easily fill the shoes.
In last night’s showdown, Archuleta was clearly the one ”in the zone.”  Cook seemed a bit cashed out, like a runner who gets ten feet from the finish line and then [...]

Proud Moments in Journalism

I promised you a second serving of sausage today, so here you go.
We’ve all done some pretty crazy stories, so I’m not making fun of this guy.  My journalistic gems just haven’t made it on YouTube yet.  (But I know they’re floating around somewhere on a dusty VHS tape.)
A friend shared this with me, and [...]

The Black Hole

First of all, my apologies for not blogging yesterday.  I always say, “It’s fresh every day.”  Not.  I may blog twice today to make it up to you.
This is what I was planning to share.
I’ve blogged previously about “Hell’s Kitchen,” the makeshift cooking station in the TV room.
Here’s what I’m calling “The Black Hole.”  It’s [...]

Jerry’s House

A couple of months ago I shared some pictures of the new Cowboys stadium in Arlington.  Apparently you liked them, because we had tens of thousands of hits.
The place has changed quite a bit since the last time I hopped off I-30 with my camera.  So here’s a fresh look at Jerry Jones’ new house.  [...]

Free at Last

It’s official. We are free at last.
Anchors often feel a bit boxed in. When you watch a newscast, we know that your first priority is information. So our producers pack the shows with every news nugget possible. Newscasts are literally timed to the second.
So when we start yammering about something that’s [...]

The Gas War

Can you put regular gas in a car engineered to run on premium?
That little question has ignited a bit of a war in our newsroom.  Some people swear up and down that their premium rides are just fine drinking the cheap stuff.  Others insist that premium makes a difference in their vehicle’s performance and overall mechanical [...]

The Call of KeKe

It was during yesterday’s 4:00 newscast that we learned that KeKe, a 39 year-old elephant at the Dallas Zoo, had died.  
Aside from the obvious sadness, KeKe’s passing brought to mind a fascinating experience that I will try to share with you.  Words, I’m afraid, are inadequate for this one.
Several years ago, I was invited to [...]

Hell’s Kitchen

It’s Monday, and I’m glad to be back at work so I can rest.  I spent the weekend preparing to detonate my kitchen.
Have you ever done a big renovation project?  Good times!
I’m learning the joys of cooking in the TV room and doing the dishes in the tub.
I’m including a pic of “Hell’s Kitchen” for [...]
