ABOUT A BOY
Perhaps you’ve seen the headlines about the little boy who silenced the critics of 49ers Kyle Williams, the punt returner who was blamed for costing San Francisco a trip to next weekends Super Bowl.
Williams received a lot of hate over the past few days, especially via twitter. And then came the small act of kindness from Owen Shure, a 7 year old who lives in Los Angeles.
As first...

How Peeps Found my Blog Via Google
It always amazes me how people find my blog via the Google search engine. Take a look at a few of the “keyword searches” from this morning.
I’m not sure what this says about the people “googling” these things… or how it reflects on me and the content of my blog.
For the record, I swear that I’ve never written about the “mom poop”...
Conservatives Should Applaud Mitt Romney's...
Throughout my life, I’ve lived by a simple rule: I don’t debate religion and politics with friends, family, or coworkers. In my experience, nothing ever good comes of it— emotions run high, feelings are hurt and relationships are damaged.
But now Politics is my job. I get paid to debate the issues. So, it should come to no surprise that I’ve been watching the...

He Knows How to Wipe His Own Butt.... and I didn't...
A friend of mine said she’s at her most creative early in the morning when the “ethers” were at their quietest. A friend of hers had shared that piece of advice with her back in the 1970s. His name was John Lennon. He knows a thing or two about creativity.
However, right now I don’t share their mantra. I’m up at the crack of ass for two reasons: 1) I...

My first post-NBC panic attack
I’ve been in a whirlwind since I gave my two weeks notice at NBC. It’s been an extremely stressful yet exciting month. And then came Friday, my first day off from my new job. I had so much to do … get caught up on laundry, bills, not to mention spend quality time with my two boys.
The day off also provided me time to think, too much time to think. It started with me...
The Rub
The Scene: Sitting on the couch watching the BCS Championship Football Game with my husband after a long day on the job.
MeHubs: Do it like old times (sticks his feet on my lap)?
Me: Are you serious?
MeHubs: C'mon, please.
Me: (I grab his feet and start rubbing)
MeHubs: (frustrated) No, you are doing it wrong.
Me: (annoyed) Don't tell me how to rub.
MeHubs: C'mon... not so rough.
Me: What? (stopped rubbing) You use to like it rough.
MeHubs: That was before kids.
The Takeaway: yes, it's true.. kids really do change everything.

“You expect any single moms to sympothize with you about finding time for your kids? You just sit around the house and do nothing and make your schedule around your child. The rest of the moms (especially single ones) have to get up early in the morning (not 10 am like u) and have to get their…

THE RISE OF THE TECHNO GENERATION
I spend a lot of time comparing my childhood to my children’s childhood. The good, the bad and the techno. Yes, techno.
I grew up in a time where there were no cell phones, no flat screen TVs, no DvDs let alone VCRs, and yes, even no internet. In fact, it seems like it was only yesterday when one of my journalism professors forced me to sign up for a thing he called “email”...

FROM THE ARCHIVE...
I found this picture in an old box tonight. It’s one of my favorite photos.
Me, a 22 year old senior in college, with my idol the late/great Peter Jennings.
I not only had the honor of meeting Jennings, but I also was fortunate to work with him and the World News Tonight team when they came to Seattle for three days in February 1995.
I was assigned to help the Executive Producer...

20 years and 20 pounds ago...
Funny the things we do to ourselves. Well, perhaps funny isn’t the right word. More like it’s fucked up the things we do to ourselves.
Take for instance my best friend who is so kind, caring, and above all honest. I mean she just cuts through the bullshit like no other and that is why I love her. She’s also a beautiful woman who has been through thick and thin with me—...
