An anchorman's take on news, money, family, life and a lot more
It’s a beautiful Friday, and the beginning of another month. But can you remember (if you lived in Oklahoma) what happened two years ago today? The above picture is a pretty good clue. Yeah, we were buried in a record-setting blizzard. More than 14 inches of snow dumped on Tulsa on February 1, 2011, and […]
The 49ers and Ravens square off in the big game this weekend, but the Super Bowl of dog breeds has already been played. And you could say the winner has a dynasty going. The American Kennel Club says the Labrador retriever was the nation’s most popular dog in 2012 … for the 22nd straight year! […]
My cat, Butters, loves to read the morning paper with me as I have a cup of coffee to start my day. But look what she did right after I snapped this picture of her …. Oops!! Was it something she read? Or was the coffee too strong? Oh well, don’t cry over spilled Keurig […]
Most of us take it for granted, but this week, two little Tulsa girls were able to hear for the very first time. Up until Wednesday, 7 year old Ruby and her sister Kate lived a life primarily in silence, able to communicate only through sign language. A year ago, Al and Chris Shasteen brought […]
I didn’t up and quit my job last night to live a life of luxury, and the odds are pretty good you didn’t either. But two lucky winners struck it rich in Wednesday’s Powerball jackpot, splitting $587 million. But don’t just automatically toss your lotto ticket in disgust if you didn’t match all the winning […]
Think you can be President in 2016? Of course not. So why are you playing the Powerball lottery this week? You may have heard that the Powerball jackpot continues to climb to new record highs. As of Tuesday evening, the jackpot is at half a billion dollars for Wednesday’s drawing. When else can $2 magically […]
Here we go again. Lotto fever is here. The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing is expected to reach $425 million! The frenzy to buy tickets for the biggest Powerball jackpot ever is in full swing. Even though the odds of winning it are 175 million to one (I heard you have a better chance of […]
This is a big weekend for college football rivalry games. USC-Notre Dame. Florida-Florida State. Oregon-Oregon State to name a few. Around here THE game is simply called Bedlam. Oklahoma-Oklahoma State. Like all the others, the Sooners and Cowboys, and their fans are at a fever pitch this week. The smack talk is flying. Here are […]
Not too long ago when my kids were small, I remember one of them begging my wife and I to buy a brand new, expensive sports car. It was something like $50,000. He asked us if we’d buy it if he chipped in all the money in his piggy bank. I think he had all […]
As we approach Thanksgiving Day, most of us have plenty to be thankful for. But the fact is many people are hurting financially. 2012 has been another tough year. Jobs lost. Bills unpaid. Just about everything costs more. A lot of people need a lot of help. Last week Channel 8 started a project none […]
It’s Election day. Finally! We’ve endured a year and a half of promises by the politicians, billions raised and spent to promote the candidates and issues on all the ballots, and the dramatic (and sometimes boring) debates. And now all that’s left is the voting. Unless you voted early either in-person or absentee (which I […]
