Okay, indulge me in a little bit of name dropping. We're pretty excited for PGA Player Michael Allen. In his first time on the 50+ tour, Allen won the Senior PGA Championship. Allen is a friend of my husband's. They met a few years ago on a business venture. Our friend Izzy Justice invented something called…
We've come a long way when it comes to changing my son's insulin pump inset. That's the connection point from the pump to his body and we have to change it every three days. Sort of like a more mild, shallow version of a shunt - better explained here. It's like giving him a shot every…
One more episode to go this season and then just one more season to go! Here's my theory for how it all ends on Lost: The whole "the plane never crashes" discussion is a giant red herring. I can't imagine the show's creators would craft a story in which the plane peacefully lands in LA but…
I think I ate more last week than I have all year. Double whammy of judging a catering contest and hanging out with the hospitality folks at the Quail Hollow Championship. I know – heavy lifting! I got a media pass this year to cover the golf tournament. My beat? The food. I'm doing a…
Just wrapped up the Charlotte Walk for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Always an incredible day – more than six thousand people raised $1.5 million dollars! Thanks so much to Carowinds for hosting the walk every year; what a great venue. I also need to thank News 14 for their media sponsorship and for profiling my…
We gave my son a guitar for Chanukah. No lessons, just a small guitar. He and his sister fool around with it and have a lot of fun. A couple of days ago, they asked me to play a song. I haven't the slightest idea how to play a guitar, so I just started strumming it. What song do you…
Tough news from some friends of mine in Syracuse this week. After 60 years of broadcasting, CBS affiliate WTVH is basically shutting the doors on local news. They've laid off 40 people and merged the news operation with competitor (and my former station) WSTM. You can read the whole story in the Syracuse newspaper. Another sad…
I may have an advantage when it comes to following the show Lost. When you get up at 3:30am, watching a prime time television show is it's own exercise in time travel. I've actually worked this shift 10 out of the last 13 years and I used to try to watch a lot more TV. The…
This was already going to be a crazy week schedule-wise and now it snows! No school for the kids today. We woke up to 3 inches on the ground today - I think it's been at least five years since we've had that much snow! Glad the snow came today, though. Yesterday I had a fun photo shoot for…
In November, our good friend Captain Jack Ahart took on a new assignment. He's the retired Navy man who started the Charlotte USO office and quickly built it into a huge success. Jack's in Dubai now, starting up USO Chapters in the Gulf region. Before he left, he asked me to join the advisory…
