golf adventures

Recently, with Kevin’s influence, I’ve gotten into golf. My grandmother gave me her clubs when I moved to Florida almost 3 years ago, but other than the occasional trip to the driving range, I hadn’t used them that much. A couple weeks ago, we went to the range two days in a row, and then [...]

Jon & Kate and the great debate

I didn’t want to add to the media hype. I really didn’t. We have trouble in Iran and so much violence, a tough economy and 3 (THREE!) celebrities dying in one week’s time. We shouldn’t really be focused on Jon & Kate and their 8 kids.
But I feel compelled. There is so much debate out [...]

Social Media and Journalism

I recently found a post on Mashable – “10 Ways Journalism Schools are Teaching Social Media” and it made me think about my journalism education.
I graduated in April 2006 with my journalism degree, and I know for a fact my experience in j-school would have been completely different had Twitter been around then, and had Facebook [...]

History repeats…

I was pointed to a great opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times on Sunday called Are the Millenials the new GI Generation?, and I have to agree with it.
Being 25, I am most obviously a Millenial (Generation Y is the more common term for Millenial; people born between 1980 and 1988), a product of the Baby Boomer generation, [...]

The power of music therapy

I have always loved watching the national anthem performed, before sporting events or other performances. Sometimes I don’t really even think about the words and what they mean, other times I get chills actually thinking about them. Sometimes I think the performer really makes the song overdone and complicated, sometimes I think there isn’t enough [...]

Wordless Wednesday

Lately all I’m thinking about is our upcoming trip to Key Largo over the 4th of July, so you get Keys pictures today. One of my favorite things to do down there is go kneeboarding – here’s the first time I ever tried.

PEACE Update

So, remember back in December ‘08 when I chose my one little word to live by in 2009? And I just happened to choose peace? Well, I’m really thankful that I did. For many reasons, but it’s become especially clear to me over the past week with everything that’s been going on in Iran. [UPDATED: Here is [...]

Weekend Happenings

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve probably gotten all of my random updates from this weekend. Friday night was a sad night – and I was probably the quietest I’ve ever been while watching hockey. My beloved Detroit Red Wings lost the Stanley Cup on home ice. I’m done moping, the team who played [...]
