Queenkv’s Brainpickings

I finished up a short, 2-day week, inside the newsroom.
Our weekend morning show features some interesting guests. We interviewed folks from the State Fair last month. One of them folded up dollar bills and made these cute origami pigs for us.
My anchor and meteorologist were tickled by the pigs. I said I could [...]

I love driving by this beautiful sunflower field next to I-80 on my drive home from work.
Last week, I got off the freeway and took a closer look at these beautiful flowers. They looked so happy. It seemed like the blossoms were smiling back at me.

The sunflowers are blooming off the Midway Exit on [...]

Meet Little Al. We featured this State Fair star on our morning show this week. His handler said I had to mind his personal space when leaning in for a picture.
He’s a cutie!

We had a blast at the State Fair this week. Our $8-admission ticket also granted us access to [...]

It’s my weekend and I woke-up ’round 3:00 AM. I suppose that means I’m getting used to my vampire shift at my new station.

After the fireworks, [...]

Almost two years ago, I snapped a picture of a dying sunflower on I-70 in Denver. That was in the middle of our moving trip to Kansas. Ever since then, I’ve been hunting for a field of sunflowers in the Sunflower State. I also found more fields in Upstate NY.
Sure, it may be the touristy [...]

We kicked off our road trip with a local favorite in T-Town: Bagel Express. They make the bagels the night before…letting [...]

OK – I love online lists and games. Mark found one that fits us…sorta: “You may be married to a Filipina if…”. He says I fit about 30% of the things on this list.
And I laughed my butt off at the list below: “You Know You’re Filipino When…”
I matched-up with several items on this list. [...]

Happy Birthday to Mark! We went to Old Chicago for his birthday lunch…Mark got lot’s of cards…including one from our baby.

Daisy writes all about it in her new blog. Yes, now the dog is blogging. We had an important conversation about safe online practices. You never know what weirdo would want to take advantage [...]

PANERA, WANAMAKER — Daisy’s taking a nap after her nice romp at Bark Park. She behaved nicely. She played/wrestled with the big doggies…and she let some little kids pet her.

Last month, we went to the LA County Fair. I have some fond memories of the fair….my dad took my friends and I to the fair. I remember all that yummy fried food, fast rides [...]
