It’s been announced that, once again, Britney Spears will be the opening act at the MTV Video Music Awards. It airs here on the East Coast in just under an hour from now. I’m praying that we don’t get a repeat of last year’s sad, robotic performance. This is her shot to reclaim her statusRead more about Deja Vu: Britney on the VMAs[…]
Yesterday, I enjoyed a lazy Saturday at home, waiting and waiting for the remnants of what was Hurricane Hannah to come and drench us. The waterworks didn’t get going until late in the afternoon, and although it was quite a bit of rain, the winds were not even close to what I’d expected.Now comes wordRead more about Stormy weather[…]
Last night, John McCain accepted his party’s nomination for President. I thought he did okay, but his speech was a bit all over the place. He should have focused on one clear message and stuck with it. Instead, he was trying to please everyone, so he came off as a bit schizo. He acknowledged ourRead more about McCain’s balancing act[…]
I watched Palin last night (fell asleep immediately afterwards–long day) but I thought she did very well. I think she got off to a slow start, but she accomplished exactly what she was supposed to: she introduced herself to America and set the tone for her campaign. She was aggressive and took lots of shotsRead more about Palin’s Big Night[…]

Rich and I started the day watching the flurry of news coverage as Hurricane Gustav made landfall, pelting Anderson Cooper and his on-location cohorts with heavy winds and rain, but ultimately sparing New Orleans. Thank goodness. The girls slept in a bit, andRead more about Labor Day, as it ought to be[…]
Over the next few days, I’ll be blogging about my recent cruise to Bermuda. Rather than write one big long review, I think it’s better to break it down into manageable topics, such as Shopping, Excursions, Entertainment, Overall Ship Review, etc. When we docked in Bermuda, our first order of business was to do aRead more about Shopping in Bermuda[…]
Sarah Palin: 44 years old, scarcely 2 years’ experience as Alaska governor, NO foreign policy experience, NO experience on a national level. Pro-life, pro-death penalty, lifelong NRA member. I can’t understand this choice. Sure, party loyalists/Republican conservatives will be happy, and McCain’s choice is certainly historic, but I don’t think it does him any favorsRead more about McCain’s VP: Oops[…]
Anthony Giglio is old friend of mine from college. He and I were on the school newspaper together many moons ago, and he’s become quite the expert on all things wine-related since then. He’s the author of Food & Wine’s 2009 Wine Guide, has written numerous articles on wine and spirits for a variety ofRead more about Great Tips for Wine Drinkers[…]
I know, some of my blogger friends aren’t big fans of my Al, but I thought he did a fantastic job tonight on his speech at the Democratic National Convention. I couldn’t help but think about what might have been 8 years ago, if only the electoral votes had gone his way.
