Turbulence Trouble August 3, 2009

How scary do you think that was?  did you hear about the Continental Flight that made the emergency landing in Miami this morning?   News 5 Today brought you the story with live pictures from the international airport in Miami.  We figured out really fast what happened.  When the stretchers started taking people off the plane [...]

Baseball At Any Age May 13, 2009

I saw this story on the Associated Press and I had to share it.  the dateline is Westlake, Ohio near Cleveland.   A minor league baseball player will spend the summer with a large host family – the residents of an Ohio assisted living facility.  Lake Erie Crushers pitchers Josh Faiola will stay at the Belvedere.  [...]

Are You Concerned? April 29, 2009

At this point most people are sick and tired of hearing about Swing Flu.  But now we’re hearing more and more are getting sick.  I think the moaning over too much coverage is now turning to…we can’t get enough of it.  
A friend of mine came over yesterday and the first thing she did was turn [...]

Johnny’s: Say It Isn’t So! March 23, 2009

No more birthday castle key mailed to your house every year. No more Sunday trip to the neighborhood toy store where you could buy the cheapest of trinkets and still feel like you struck it rich. No more running a mile or so down the road to pick up a quick gift for the party [...]

Nightmare At Sea March 3, 2009

One person pulled from the water.  Three more still missing.  Their boat capsized in 7-foot swells over the weekend.  Two of the missing are NFL players.  The Coast Guard  won’t speculate on the men’s chances of being rescued alive as the search continues.
The lone survivor so far, Nick Schuyler, was conscious when he was loaded onto [...]

McCafferty Intrigue: We All Want To Know February 23, 2009

I think we all want to know what went on inside the Fort Thomas home of the McCafferty’s.  I’ll admit I am interested in finding out how that happened.  How will her lawyers defend her?  What will be the claim?   A dead man’s behavior, personality…dirty laundry will be on display for everyone to see.  I [...]

The Great Meltdown! February 9, 2009

Did you hear water running all weekend?  Off the house.  Down the down spouts.  Down the street.  Creeks are running high.  The river has taken on a dirty (more dirty) brown color because of all the runoff.   I looked out my upstairs window a half dozen times just to look down and see grass.   The [...]

Detroit Auto Show 2009: The Mother of All Car Shows! January 18, 2009

You can’t believe the size of this place.  This is the Cobo Center in downtown Detroit.  It’s huge…as far as the eye can see …you can see cars and displays and big screen projection screens.  And people. Tons of people.  Each area of the center is clearly marked…by 20 foot signs that read: FORD, DODGE, [...]

The Detroit Auto Show: The Buck Stops Here January 17, 2009

Welcome to Detroit.  The outskirts, anyway.  I’m in Romulus, Michigan.  About 20 miles from downtown Detroit.  The international airport is here and so are many people who will visit to the North American International Auto Show.  Better known as the Mother of All Car Shows.  Even out this far the economy gets a boost from [...]

Deep Freeze! January 15, 2009

The icy lock has gripped much of the country.  It’s bad here.  It’s worse in other parts.   We’re talking staggering below zero readings.  So cold that volunteers are walking the streets around the favorite homeless hangouts trying to encourage people to come in from the cold and into shelters now open.  That could be lifesaving.
Meanwhile, [...]
