SO THIS IS WHAT IT’S LIKE
October 31, 2008

I took the day off yesterday for Kyle’s birthday.   He had to work but I had some extra vacations days so I thought I’d be nice to spend the day with the boys and actually get to see Kyle in the evening.
I should preface this by saying that I’ve always loved working second shift.  I [...]

THE BAT.. IS A SUCCESS!
October 28, 2008

I had to take Connor to a neighborhood Halloween party yesterday.
We weren’t planning on going  but Connor was guilting me into going  So, here I am 10-minutes before the party throwing the bat costume together.
My girlfriend gave me a tip and told me I needed to slick down the fur on the “Cat ears” [...]

MAKEUP REALLY DOES DO WONDERS
October 25, 2008

Proof today, that makeup really does do wonders!
So, before I went into work today I stopped by Stephens Elementary School in Burlington to read to some of the students.  It was all to promote their “learn to read week”.
Anyway, the first class I go to is a group of Kindergartners.  Immediately I recognize one of the [...]

HALLOWEEN FUN
October 23, 2008

It’s Midnight and I’m writing from home because once again the week is slipping away from me.
I actually thought of writing over the weekend because we had a little bit of Halloween Fun (at least that’s what I’m calling it).
First of all,  we did a “dress rehearsal” for Halloween.  You know I’ve been worried about how I’m going to [...]

BEHIND THE INTERVIEW
October 18, 2008

So, I had my interview today with V-P candidate Sarah Palin.  And I thought you might like some behind the scenes “scoop”. 
I had to get to the airport about 2-hours before the interview so that the secret service could “sweep” my car, bag, and body.  It’s crazy! 
And you should have seen all of the security.   [...]

BACK FROM NYC
October 17, 2008

The week has just flown by!
Every day I’ve tried to get on and blog but before I know it…. the day is gone and I forgot.  Sorry!
Okay, so my trip to NYC was great.  It was so much fun.  My girlfriend and I did lots (and lots) of shopping.  For you guys… imagine sitting in [...]

LOTS GOING ON
October 10, 2008

I’m sure many of you are starting to get word of some of the changes happening at our station.  Many of you have even emailed me with questions.  So, I thought I’d set the record straight so that you know what’s really going on and why.
Yes, we are making a few changes at News-5.  It’s [...]

HAPPY MONDAY
October 7, 2008

Well I made it through the Bengal’s game by compromising.   Kyle watched the game with some buddies while I went to my girlfriends house to watch it     It at least made the defeat a little easier to swallow. 
And hey.. at least we competed.  I was afraid we’d get blown away.
Anyway, on to my parenting [...]

FOOTBALL FEVER
October 4, 2008

Okay, I know it’s kind of hard to have football fever when you’re a Bengal’s fan.. but this weekend is going to be a little tense in my house.
I’m a Bengals fan.  I think I’ve told you this before.  I used to share season tickets with my dad but because of the boys, time, and because [...]

My Monkey
October 2, 2008

Before I get into that….
I have to thank the people who I met at the Athena awards today.  It was an event to honor some outstanding women in the community.  And I had several people come up to me at the end and tell me how they enjoy reading my blog.  Thank you.  It’s nice to [...]
