My parents have been feeding the deer in their yard for more than a year. They’ve just about tamed them.
This one is the most brave. Zach loves feeding him corn. Ally named him Squanto.
I think she got this name from listening to Zach study history. ( Squanto (c. 1580s – November 1622) was one of two Native American [...]
This is the Christmas gift I gave to my parents.
The kids and I found it while we were in Sedona. It is a wind sculpture by Lyman Whitaker. We put it in their front yard right outside the big window where they watch the birds. It looks so peaceful as it slowly turns in [...]
This video is called Mom’s song. It’s everything a Mom says in a day condensed into a couple of minutes and sung to the William Tell Overture. One of the best Moms I know sent this to me…. so Bonnie, thank you and this is dedicated to you : )
Before I tell you what happened…. take a look at my parents’ beautiful Christmas tree.
Mom works very hard on it and likes everything to be perfect.
Normally, everything is perfect.
Here’s Mom and Ally getting ready for the big night.
Mom started a cozy fire in the fireplace about an hour before all the relatives were to arrive [...]
Every year at this time our boss, Bob Longo, decides to bring a little Christmas cheer to the busy newsroom by reading a Christmas story.
Normally it’s ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. This year it was about some evil Santa twin that tries to ruin Christmas.
My dear friend, Maria is in the background rushing around. I [...]
I posted this before…. but I wanted to do it again so you’ll have it for tomorrow night. : )

Here’s a preview for it:

Here’s a quick update from the Oasis concert my brothers attended last weekend. Derek took my camera to take some pictures. David and Derek sat in the second row. In the middle of the show the guy from Oasis pointed back and forth at them and said “Brothers?” David and Derek are twins and [...]
Sidney Crosby just broke the record for the most fan votes ever in the NHL All-Star game balloting. He such a great athlete but an even better example to children. As a mother of a 10 year old boy, that means more to me than any record Sidney could possibly break. I can tell [...]
Today after lunch I’m going to post a video of Sidney Crosby playing hockey as a kid to celebrate him breaking the All-Star fan voting record! Stay warm today. There’s a two hour school delay in my district so we’re enjoying a lazy morning in our warm house. : )
Shannon Perrine and I got together for a fun sushi lunch. I’m allergic to shellfish so I get tuna and salmon.
That’s why these odd looking little baby shrimp in their shells didn’t look very appetizing to me. They look like insects. In fact, I’ll just come out and say it…. they look gross!
Shannon was taunting [...]
My brothers and I are having a debate over a song. Tonight they’re in Virginia to see the English rock band Oasis. It’s my brother, David’s favorite band…. or at least one of his favorites. They got second row seats. Opening for Oasis is one of my favorite artists, Ryan Adams. It should be a [...]
Zach had a Social Studies test today. We studied for it a lot this week. One of the things he was learning about as the English and French and Spanish and Dutch explored and fought over North America ….. is diversity and tolerance. For some reason this Mr Rogers song kept popping in my head. [...]
So they tell me it’s like a soap opera for men. When I heard several people here at work got tickets for the WWE RAW show at Mellon Arena… I handed my good friend and co-worker, Joe, my camera and asked him to take some photos.
For those of you out there who are like [...]
Our wonderful meteorologist Erin Kienzle demonstrated for you how her weather wall works. We call it the “key”…. which is short for Chroma Key, the technical name for what’s happening here.
During the weather, Erin stands in front of the bright green screen. Anything that is that color green (or we’ve learned [...]
Here’s a look at what we see during the newscast. Most of you have heard about our “teleprompter”…. that magical device which allows us to read our scripts while looking into the camera lens. I had Mike Clark help me show you how it works.
We can read our scripts by looking at [...]
