So I had blogged on here about whether I should get digital cable thru comcast or get the Dish. I decided to get Comcast digital, dunno why, just did. I go to Comcast get my DVR's and was going to install it myself. But in our downstairs, we have [...]
About 715 Saturday night, the phones at News 2, in the newsroom and in the sports office, started ringing non-stop. I mean they were ringing for an hour straight, without a break. Word had gotten out that Titans QB Vince Young had been suspended for the game against the [...]
Ever since my son started walking, actually sprinting, things have not been the same around the Dubin household. You turn around for a second and he is gone. Usually to someplace that you have sealed off, put tape around, stationed 5 national guard soldiers around it and somehow, someway, [...]
For someone who grew up here, you always knew this was going to happen but thought it would be a long time off before it did happen. For those who moved here even in the last 10 years, you know exactly what I am talking about.
Back ten years [...]
I gotta say, the more things change, the more they stay the same. And here is why. Monday, I came home for lunch and took the dog for about a 30 minute walk. It is so hot during the day and she loves to run outside, but since everyone [...]
Last week we all celebrated the opening of Briley Parkway, now lets celebrate the opening of Elm Hill Rd underneath Briley. To 99 percent of us, who cares, to me and countless others who have to drive thru there, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Ok, I get it. [...]
Ever since we got our dog last year, April 10th to be exact, but who is counting, I have been amazed and just stunned at how much a dog can eat. Not just eat what is in her bowl, but eat and eat and eat and eat and eat, [...]
When my daughter was born back in 1998, someone at work told me to take a lot of pictures because she will grow up so, so fast. Yeh, Yeh, I said, heard it all before, that won't happen, it will be a long time before she even gets to [...]
We have been talking about this for about 2 years. The Briley Parkway construction. And Folks, it is finally over. Sure, there is a little touch up here, a little touch up there but for the most part, it is done and ready to go.
It was supposed [...]
I need to get on this quickly. Does anyone understand the Stock Market and if so, where would I go to learn more about it. I have been meaning to for years but I have no clue to what they are talking about.
I turned the tv on [...]
Ok, I gotta tell you and we have talked about it before, but I cannot stop watching that dang show Dateline: To Catch A Predator. I just find out so befuddling that people can be so stupid and sick and just plain scum. Everytime I am home and that [...]
Just a couple of things that I want to mention.......First, was outside on Thursday and looked up in the sky and saw Air Force One coming in. I don't care whether you don't like Bush or not, but that is a very impressive sight and knowing it is [...]
I blogged on Monday about what a complete jerk Danica Patrick was over the weekend at the Speedway but someone else was there this weekend that Ms. Patrick could take a lesson from.
His real name is Chaim Witz. Just google it and find it what he goes [...]
That is exactly what I expected to hear from someone after the first week of my son's walking. You see JJ did not just learn how to walk. He has learned how to sprint. And along the way, he has run into just about any and everything you can [...]
Came home from work for dinner on Sunday and as I pull up in my yard, I see a political sign for JB Loring. Evidently, Mr. Loring is running for city council and evidently someone from Mr. Loring's campaign thought it would be nice to put a sign in [...]
If you don't have kids than this won't make much sense to you. If you do, especially between the ages of say 5 and 13, this blog post will.
On August 17th, High School Musical part 2 comes out. For those who don't know, this movie was watched by [...]
The most thankless job in the world has to be working in customer service of any kind. For example, the dry cleaners I go to has some of the nicest people you will meet anywhere. Yesterday, a lady was picking up a dress and the manager had told her [...]
.....Ok the very informal survey continues.
Today's question is: Leno or Letterman?
For me, Letterman. Back in the 80's, when he came on at 1130 on NBC, he was a complete riot. Especially when he went out and just totally messed with people. He got away from that in this [...]
Got a quick question for you today and there is a reason I am asking. If something is happening nationally, or internationally, like some kind of huge breaking news and you want to see it, do you turn to CNN, FOX, or MSNBC?
Was at the gym last [...]
Just a couple of things to share with you.........First, just got back from the fireworks downtown and once again,t they were spectacular. Great music, great show, lasted about 20 plus minutes or so, a good job all the way around. Which leads me to this, why are fireworks still [...]
I just realized that this summer will be the first summer since 1986 that no outdoor concerts will be held at Starwood. I know we found out back in the spring but I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who has already seen some great [...]
Thanks to Jennifer,who sent this link to me. If you ever need a reason to shake with your left hand, this is why my friend.
Great Story
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when [...]
One of the greatest things in the last 5 years or so has been the ability to capture special and great moments on tape and get them on the internet, pretty quickly.
Case in point, my son walking. He is 13 months and I guess crawling was getting [...]
