An anchorman's take on news, money, family, life and a lot more
It’s almost midnight and 5 teenagers are in the back of our Suburban. Not like that picture above. They’re asleep now. It’s the only time they’ve been asleep at this late hour all week. Just like babies, they’re so well-behaved that way. There’s been a steady rain the past seven hours. It’s been a day of burger […]
Today is Valentine’s Day. Uh-oh. It’s a day you either score … or strike out. With gifts, that is. There’s a lot of pressure to please on this day. Especially for guys. And let’s face it, many of us don’t have a clue. There’s plenty of swinging and missing that fat pitch as it comes […]

The holidays are supposed to be a happy, joyous time… but unfortunately they’re not. If you feel like the Grinch during the holiday season, […]
See end of post for update on 2010 NYE It’s New Year’s Eve again. I’m helping my wife get ready for one of her NYE parties. Not that I’m much of a party planner (more like a party pooper, as she would put it). She loves a party, and never needs much of an excuse […]
