My Own Set of Luggage
Photos of me without makeup show an undereye area that’s as dark as a bruise. Interestingly, that shade extends all around the eye. Mother Nature isn’t content to just give me dark bags. No, after so many years of getting up in the middle of the night, the circles actually go into my eyelids! …

Why People Think You’re A Jerk
Last week one of my former 680 News colleagues put a “did you know” post on Facebook concerning “hidden” messages on the iPhone.

The Meat Machine
It’s after midnight and you want some fresh hamburger or a can of pate. What are you going to do? Well, if you’re in Paris, France, you simply find the right butcher shop on Rue de Charonne and pop some coins into their meat vending machine out front. …

If I Could Change the World… – Posted Oct 7, 2009
People would stop calling Lisa Kudrow the most talented cast member on Friends (Yeah, it’s this kind of blog!) because if you recall she tended to nearly crack up during funny scenes, breaking character, while Courteney Cox stayed true to Monica and was the most believable one of the bunch. …
