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, I caught a new episode of Bourdain’s No Reservations: Tokyo. I slurped on my chicken-flavored instant ramen noodles as Anthony Bourdain ate handmade soba noodles with Chef Morimoto. One big difference, the Tokyo restaurant he was eating at has been making soba noodles since 1789. So yah. I suppose that’s a big difference.

I enjoy [...]

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!

Watching dachshund races at UC Davis. It was part of the annual Picnic Day on campus. Totally cute and totally free.

I also used those muscles to keep me upright on my double-toe jumps during this morning’s freestyle session at Vacaville Ice Sports. I’ve been off the ice for 4 months and it’s nice to know that I can still [...]

I’m tickled SNL has kicked off another round of new shows. Gov. Huckabee was cute….but why? Why is he still in the race?

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 [...]
