Unwinding after another long day in the news room. My dad sent me a picture of blue skies in Diamond Bar. Looks like my hometown dodged a bullet for this round of the wildfire season.
I need another drink.
Last weekend, we checked out a wine festival in Lodi. On Veterans Day, we did more wine tasting [...]

A beer sampler from Brew It Up! I liked the Oatmeal Stout & the Irish Amber. Still stuffed from our 3 course meal. That plus the beer adds up to $30. A tasty bargain! I loved the spicy mussels & Mark’s scallops. This place also has brew sessions when you can craft [...]

I called my dad about my first experience using the live chopper for a breaking news segment this morning. It was a crazy time. Thankfully, folks in the booth didn’t let me crash the segment (not the chopper…the actually show). My dad said I sounded happy. I am happy. I’m still training but I’m thrilled [...]

We woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning in Laramie. I’m blogging from the Coral Creek Coffee Company and about to bite into my bagel with veggie cream cheese.
We said good-bye to Kansas yesterday. A cold start to another cross-country road trip. Daisy made herself at home in the back seat. I’m [...]

I always love visiting my alma mater, UC Berkeley. I enjoyed checking out the computer lab at the business school — saying hi to my co-workers and my old boss. So many good memories….and so much good food!

We also found some tasty meals down in Fremont. By the way, [...]
