When the Olympics were held in Atlanta 13 years ago, a local radio station from East Dublin, GA wanted to draw some of the Olympic crowds to their little town. What could they possibly do to accomplish this? Create the “Summer Redneck Games”, of course!
A week from today, on July 5th, the 13th Annual Summer Redneck [...]
High Resolution Pictures of Mars

I have been fascinated with astronomy and space exploration for as long as I can remember, but even if you don’t really care, you will be amazed by these pictures. This is by far the best collection of Mars images I’ve seen anywhere – these 17 pictures and animations are incredible! And just imagine the what we’ll be [...]

These days many of us feel the need to be constantly connected. Being surrounded by technology in today’s “wired” world makes living in this uber-productive and connected state easy as pie. The downside? Well, we don’t watch where we are going and tend to walk into things on the sidewalk.
This photo was taken on a [...]

I’d expect a “Celebrity 100″ list from People Magazine, but I was surprised today to see that Forbes.com published an extensive online feature on the top 100 celebs. I have to admit – reading celebrity magazines are a guilty pleasure of mine. Although, I only read them when I travel or when I visit the [...]

A long first paragraph describing how we came to decide on our next vacation destination would be pointless, as I’ve already revealed it in my clever blog title (I should have been a rapper – could have put my superior rhyming skills to better use.)
Anyways, Buzz headed to Texas, ya’ll!
We just ordered our tickets and booked our [...]
Flip Flops to Flip Over

Along with the hot weather in New England comes a few of my favorite things – ice cream, sun, outdoor activities, BBQs, and flip flops. I’m a casual gal and I’ve always felt that I had “sensitive” feet. Huh? Well, either I have sensitive feet or I just don’t understand the “beauty is pain” concept when it comes [...]
The Constitution Is Not A Suicide Pact

The nation will live to regret what the court has done today.” Justice Antonin Scalia, in dissent of Thursday’s Supreme Court decision
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that foreign terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have rights under the Constitution to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts. So let’s get this straight, Islamic-jihadists, terrorists are entitled [...]
George Will Raises The Bar On NPR

I don’t regularly listen to NPR, but I’ll tune into almost anything when someone as brilliant as George Will (one of the most widely recognized writers in America) is on. George was a guest on Tom Ashbrook’s show, OnPoint, for about 40 minutes on Monday, during which time, he discussed a whole bunch of topics, including [...]
Don’t Boycott Legal Sea Foods

The Issue: Legal Sea Foods owner Roger Berkowitz says he’s sorry for the “fresh fish” ad campaign on the MBTA that offended train operators in Boston (get it…”fresh” as in, wise-ass, not recently-caught). Stephan MacDougall, a union rep for MBTA operators, said Berkowitz is an elitist and insensitive. He said he’s organizing a boycott of Legal Sea Foods. [...]

Eric Clapton Gets His Mojo Workin’ in Mansfield

Elicia mentioned in her earlier post that we saw the legendary Eric Clapton last night at Great Woods in Mansfield (a.k.a Tweeter Center, and as of yesterday, Comcast Center). I miss the old days of roaming the lawn, but it is still a terrific venue to see a concert and we all had a great time getting [...]

This week might just be my wackiest yet of 2008.
So, to kick things off on Monday night I attended the Publicity Club of New England’s annual Bell Ringers – the Oscars of the New England PR world. I enjoyed myself – food was good and I loved the steel drum band. The award show usually runs [...]
