Don’t you just love the Baller? If you don’t watch Big Brother, you have no clue what that means. But those of us who waste inordinate amounts of time following the “houseguests” on the CBS reality show hve come to know Adam “Baller” Jasinski over the past 80-some days. Adam won $500K last night in […]
Normally, I have no problem entertaining myself with the many cable channels we get. For some reason the other day, I decided to explore some of the extras that come along with our Tivo. They had some special feature featuring music videos which I checked out. I didn’t have a lot of interest in a […]
I will touch more on this topic in tomorrow’s newspaper column, but I have to sing the praises of “Totally 80s” on VH1Classic. The show runs most mornings, and I like to catch it on weekend mornings.

Ever since I heard that Kevin Spacey intended to make a movie version of Ben Mezrich‘s book “Bringing Down the House,” I knew I would want to go see it. I really enjoyed the book (even though it is coming under fire for possible made up facts), love Vegas, and just thought it lent itself […]
I have so many problems with Coors Light. I can’t stand how they take a really bad beer best suited for women and people who don’t want to taste what real beer should taste like and then market it toward me as if it’s the manly way to end a day. The stuff is really […]
