Here is my first attempt at making a video for my blog. Our producer, Maria, thought I was trying to snap a picture. So she kept posing with her food….. The joke was on her (once again) when I told her it was video.
Sorry Maria! Thanks for being [...]

Notes from the newsroom
August 30, 2007
Newsroom Notes:
Jon Greiner has a jar on his desk filled with candy. He invites us all to have some. I have a bird’s-eye-view of my fellow employees who walk up and take a piece. It is always interesting to hear the comments based [...]

For my post today I’d like to give a birthday shout out to our wonderful producer Maria Dravecky. Since I don’t have my camera to take her birthday picture… Instead I’m posting a photo of her darling nephew Logan. He is almost two years [...]
Got One!
August 19, 2007
We got one! And I think I’ve figured out what it is. It seems to be a Cicada Killer Wasp. Thanks to everyone who wrote in about this scary looking flying thing. I got so many responses there is no way [...]
Freaky Insect
August 18, 2007
I need some help identifying this insect. It’s huge and the sounds it makes when it flys by freaks me out. It looks like it has a huge stinger but it hasn’t gotten any of us yet. I’m guessing it’s about three inches long. [...]
Giggling on the Carriage Ride
August 17, 2007
We took one of those horse-drawn carriage rides today.
The owner dressed up in clothes from the 1800s and we all pretended to live back then. I have no idea how he does it. He wears those hot clothes everyday. And today it was almost [...]
Meteor Shower Watching
August 13, 2007
I stayed up until 1:45 to watch the annual meteor shower. My mom bought a bunch of lounge chairs and my cousin, Lisa, came over (yes the same one from the great Safari park incident of ‘07). I let the kids stay up too. [...]
No Power
August 10, 2007
Well…. I am one of the many people out there with no power right now.
It went out at three right when the tornado warning hit… and it may not be restored until Saturday at noon. Life is tough without power.

Your Pictures
August 9, 2007
What a storm this morning! I had some water creep into my basement…. but that was nothing compared to what happened to others. Flooding all around the region… lightning caused a fire that destroyed a home… people were trapped in their cars…. and now, communities are trying to figure out how to [...]
Good Poem
August 9, 2007
A guy stopped me in the grocery store yesterday and told me he often read my blog. But he said he wanted me to start including more things about my personal taste rather than just letting you know what events I attend.
He said he’d like to hear more about [...]
Eating for your blood type
August 8, 2007
My friend is reading that book about eating right for your blood type. She’s promising to let me read it when she’s done. I’m an O-negative blood type. Have any of you out there read that book? Any thoughts on whether it works?
Bridge Collapse
August 3, 2007
It seems like a normal morning here. Zach has pulled up an OnDemand Pitt Panthers basketball game to watch a player shatter the backboard. He loves it. He’s watched it many times already. Ally is eating pancakes and trying to get Zach’s attention but he just [...]
