April is Child Abuse Awareness month. I was on a call in radio show this morning called Talk of Alaska to discuss this topic. It was unanimous. We are all against it.

Everyone in the Anchorage bowl area should be prepared for a blizzard tonight since I’m having my studded snow tires changed out today. Sorry about that.

Is it just me or does Tom Cruise just continue to get stranger with each interview?  And seriously, have they sucked out what few brains Katie Holmes might have had going into this fake relationship?  One is reminded of a certain 50s macho male star and his brief abortive marriage.

In the spirit of spending my tax refund at least three times over, I went to a store the other day to look at TVs. Since my current one is so small I have to literally pull my chair to within two feet of it to really see well, I figured I could go to the eye doctor or get a bigger TV. The bigger TV won hands down.  Much more fun than an eye doctor…no offense, Grant.

So I’m standing in the store staring at what looks like miniature movie screens when a very nice young man comes up

I spent the day at a journalism forum representing the Italian-Inupiat subset at a diversity forum.  It’s amazing how few of us there are.

Growing old doesn’t mean everything stops working…or, at least if it does, you thankfully don’t remember that it doesn’t because you can’t remember that it ever did.

In the grand scheme of things, how important could that possibly be?  And yet I must go look for one that apparently will push/pull/shove/uplift/separate/and cover nipple dents in order to look proper when out in polite company.  Sigh…..
