news Self Promotion

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Morning news self promotion. I can’t speak for NBC or CBS, since I only watch one channel in the morning. But I can comment on Good morning America. Lately it is one part news and 2 parts something that isn’t news. A few weeks ago, it […]

Rainy Monday What’s Up?

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The morning text message. I text every morning. For more than a decade, every single day, I text. Every single solitary day, I send out dozens of text messages to 50, 75, maybe 100 or more news contacts. Cops, deputies, city leaders. I instant message chiefs, and […]

Wheel of Misfortune

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Being ridiculed by millions of people dumber than you for blowing a million dollars on national TV. And all you had to do was read 3 simple words. Good Morning America devoted an entire segment to it in lieu of other news. I guess flight 370 […]

Technology Gremlins

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The art of the live shot. We live in a world where a 4 year old can tweet, text and shoot a selfie, all while peeing on himself in nursery school. Technology is easy and ubiquitous, so it’s surprising when it fails. It seems like the […]

Boston Strong

April 15th 2013. Of all the days in our union, it will go down as one of the worst. It’s known as The Boston Bombing. It was a day of terror, a day of tears, a day of tragedy. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year. Now Boston Strong is the city’s motto. But […]

My Reporter Brain

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The roadside hit and run. A tire blows. A 13 year old boy does what a young man should do. He shows his momma, he can fix it. So with the family car, presumably, safely off the interstate, he begins to change the tire. Suddenly an […]

Work Place Burnout

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The modern day workplace. Hard working men and women are quitting like under compensated rats jumping ship. As they go, their comrades stand on deck of the sinking Titanic and wave. “I’m trapped,” an older employee says. His words are simple, his statement layered in complexity. […]

The Driving Test

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Driving with a new driver. You see that curb? You check that side view mirror? Oh man that car is close! You aren’t planning on driving with the rear wiper on the whole way are you? My son is 15. He’s a good kid, but he’s […]

Vampires and thieves rule the night

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. 12 minutes. I over slept by 12 minutes and it set off my entire morning. 7 am became 7:12 am. 12 silly minutes. Time dominoes began tumbling. What’s the lead story on Good Morning America? I don’t know. 12 minutes in and they are all ready […]

Cash Machine Genie

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Free Cash. We all want it. We all dream of it. We all need it. Have you ever looked at an armored car at the supermarket and wondered “What if?” Have you ever held your Powerball ticket and dreamed the dream? Have you ever dropped your […]
