The Politics of “Nope” April 30, 2008

The above is a play on the title of the popular book by Senator Barack Obama which championed a new way to look at politics and running this country. I had hopes that given this election – featuring both an African-American and a woman in prominent roles – would be different.
I thought perhaps the days [...]

“Boobaloo” Says Thanks April 29, 2008

The stitches comes off this week … and “Boobaloo” could not be doing better. Our bischon/poddle is feeling great following his bladder stone surgery a week ago today. Sharon and myself once again want to thank you for your e-mails and prayers for Boo’s speedy and safe recovery. However, instead of me saying thanks I [...]

The Week in Pictures April 25, 2008

Working the mornings – and the toll it takes on your mind and body – there’s nothing like Fridays. You can see the home stretch in sight and you know the weekend is here. You also know it’s the end of another week and so much has happened these last seven days.
So instead of talking [...]

How’s “Boobaloo” Doing? April 24, 2008

Thanks again for all the e-mails and the kind wishes ( even got an e-mail from a dog named “Benjamin” wishing “Boobaloo” well ) regarding Boo’s surgery for bladders stones. As of last night, the vet told us everything went well in surgery and that he is recovering … and he is wagging his tail. We [...]

Boobaloo Update April 23, 2008

Sorry for the delay in updating Boobaloo’s surgery. The vet pushed his surgery for bladder stones to Wednesday morning and I have been in Philadelphia the last two days on primary coverage and unable to get to a computer.
That being said, Boo made it out of surgery and the vet tells us all went well [...]

Surgery For “Boobaloo” April 21, 2008

While this is a personal blog, I often keep very personal details out of this blog because I’m sure most of you would not care and I need to keep some privacy in my crazy life. However, since I have told you about our dog many times in this blog, I thought I would share something [...]

Pictures From Philadelphia April 18, 2008

Hi everyone! After trips to Myrtle Beach, and more recently Philadelphia, it’s good to be back home and back on the morning show. I have some pics I took from the Democratic Presidential debate to show you … and I will do that in a minute.
First though, I want to say thanks to many of you [...]

Caught in the Spin Cycle April 17, 2008

It’s the morning after the democratic presidential debate here in Philadelphia. The sun is shining and I’m just rising out of bed here at the hotel with a massive headache. I’m guessing it’s from all the spinning I went through last night in the post-debate spin room. For those who don’t follow all this political [...]

Greetings From Philadelphia April 16, 2008

Hi! I’m here in the city of Brotherly Love … and on my way over to the National Constitution Center for tonight’s debate between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and I have to tell you how excited I am to be here. Besides being in a city where there is every food known to [...]

Just Stopped By to Drop Off the Dirty Laundry April 15, 2008

Sorry for not telling everyone .. but as you might have guessed I was away last week. I just got back from Myrtle Beach and a week in the sun, fun and golf of  South Carolina. Sharon and myself had a wonderful time with a few other couples and friends. I would love to show [...]

A Toast to Your Health April 8, 2008

The title of this blog comes from an event which concluded this past Saturday night. There are so many benefits and charitable events that in which I have the opportunity to participate, but there are some that really stand out for how they are run, what they mean to a community and just how much they [...]

How Things Have Changed April 7, 2008

I’m not a major donor to my university. I don’t have enough money for the school to name a building in my honor, so I try to do the next best thing. Every year, I return to Ohio University ( not Ohio State ) and speak to the next generation of journalists during its yearly [...]

Cleaning Out A Cluttered Mind April 4, 2008

Sitting on the set, I have so many random thoughts that I want to blog about that often thoughts enter the back of mind and get stuck there. Well, it’s Friday and I can clean out the back reaches of my mind.
Deadly Fire in Jefferson County
When I first heard about the deadly fire in Jefferson [...]

Controversial Cover? April 2, 2008

I guess Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will never be paired as running mates. I mean how can we have these two paired together for anything when some in our society can’t handle seeing a black man and a white woman on the cover of Vogue.
I was hoping I wouldn’t have to blog about this [...]

Welcome to the Family April 1, 2008

When I first got into broadcasting professionally, I got my big break in the town where I grew up: Hartford, Conn. I was hired by the Fox affiliate ( WTIC-TV ) to anchor sports on the weekends and report during the week.

What really made this new job such a thrill was that I started shortly [...]
