Queenkv’s Brainpickings

The Race for the White House is on!
We are less than a month away from the first Presidential debate. In the control booth, I had fun working with all our live reports from the DNC in Denver and the RNC in St. Paul…Keeping up with all the juicy sound bites and timing out my morning [...]

Today, we wished Daisy a Happy Birthday! We sang to her and gave her a few slices of some birthday salami. Since she has a lucky b-day (8.8.08), we should probably buy some lottery tickets. We could use her dog tags to scratch off the numbers. Good times.
Today, she turns 3-years-old. That translates (roughly) to [...]

Like the Footprint story. But this time there’s a dog by the dude’s side. Daisy would love it here

Today, my puppy rocked out her run near Alamo Creek with some Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Young Folks and more. We were able to run about 1.5 miles before she had to go potty. Such a good puppy!

More scenes from last weekend’s Asparagus Festival in Stockton. My station was a big sponsor of the event.

That pooch loves his board.

I have Easter bunnies and festivities on the brain. Earlier this week, I produced the Noon show and we had Thumper on as a guest. This SPCA bunny was a little sick and it couldn’t stop throwing up on our mall set. Thankfully, we had an Easter Bunny (dude in a costume) to wave at [...]

I’m waking up with aches and pains from our snowboarding weekend in Tahoe. I will post video, pix and thoughts about our snow adventures later.

A couple of weekends ago, we went to mass at St. Ignatius in the City by the Bay. It’s a beautiful Jesuit church next to the University of [...]
