ZackSnacks / New Book January 30, 2007

I still haven’t taken any pictures of our ZackSnacks. I was hoping Zach would take them to school today and hand out to his friends so I wouldn’t eat them. But he said he couldn’t charge his friends money for them…. so they’re still here. I already handed out a lot of them to [...]

Hat Trick January 21, 2007

We hosted the Maple Leafs.
It was wild. Wild in the score. Wild in the fights on the ice. Wild in the fights in the stands. In fact, it was the most outrageous game I’ve ever seen.

Jon’s Specialty January 20, 2007

You all know sports anchor Jon Burton…. What you may not know is that he is famous for his impersonations. He can do just about anybody. My favorite is his impression of our News Director Bob Longo. When Bob comes out and talks to us in the newsroom, [...]

A Money Box January 10, 2007

Some people have been asking me how Santa’s gifts went over… since I wrote so much about them before Christmas….
Ally loves that horse. She named her Sarah and combs her and feeds her every night. I have to say …. I was alone when I put [...]

First Resolution Step January 7, 2007

I thought I’d share with you the first thing I did for my New Year’s resolution.
While I was grocery shopping I picked up those new energy- saving light bulbs. They’re called compact fluorescent. They’re better for the environment and they’re [...]

Resolutions January 5, 2007

I’ve been trying to figure out a New Year’s resolution. I think one thing I’ll try to do more often is to thank those who make my life easier. Today, I’m thanking the garbage collectors. They came today to my house and hauled off a crazy amount of [...]
