So... did you miss me this morning? Was your coffee a little more bitter without me? I hope you were able to go on living without my words of inspiration. Or, more than likely, you didn't even notice and now I'm going to go cry in a corner. :)
Last night was a great night...

After what I felt was a very boring weekend of television I am looking forward to a week of nearly all original programming!
Usually when it hits 90+ degrees outside my butt it glued to the couch, but TV this weekend sucked! The only diamond amongst a pile of broken glass was HBO's...

Quick question to all of you readers out there...
What is your preferred local news station? KGET, KERO or KBAK?
and Why?
Lately I've been watching quite a bit of cable news (mostly because I don't get home until after the 5p news is over), but I tend to watch KGET when I do.
Love Lori...

Being my first blog I will try and keep criticism to a minimum... I will start by saying I am a firm believer in the magic of DVR, and seldom (that should be in caps) SELDOM ever watch a single commercial in Prime Time.

On a lighter note than many of our recent ones, this blog is meant to bring a smile.

What is your favorite coffee shop and why? Since I work downtown, I often visit Dagny's on breaks. My wife likes Starbucks, especially because of the convenience of its drive-thru windows. What do you prefer, small mom and pop store or corporate franchise?

Greetings everyone from Oakhurst, Ca.
It has been a while since Road Show has actually been "on-the-road." First there was the 1000 mile day fiasco which some of you may remember, then the Beemer required major surgery.

"Balboa," which debuts in theaters tomorrow, is the sixth movie in a series that began with 1976's "Rocky." Stallone famously raised about $1 million to make that low-budget film based on a screenplay he wrote and would not sell to Hollywood's studios unless he was the star....
