Defeat, Death and Devastation

My five year old golden retriever died yesterday, and I am left totally devastated by the loss of my beloved family dog. Turns out that she did in fact have cancer, and my attempts to save her life with a veterinarian’s second opinion and treatment options did not help. We found out from [...]

Matt Damon in Springfield Illinois!

Whoopee! Apparently Matt Damon is in Springfield, Illinois filming for a new movie and it’s all the talk around town. He should probably eat a horseshoe and throw a cow chip for the full Springfield experience before he leaves.

David Versus David American Idol Finale

I’m looking forward to the battle of the final two contestants tonight on American Idol. Either David can win and I’ll be happy, they both are worthy in my opinion. I do think that the pendulum is swinging in David Cook’s direction of late, just at the right time. And I think [...]

Dr. Frank Coble DVM, Recommended Top Veterinarian Springfield Illinois

I decided it was necessary to get a second opinion with a new veterinarian after a cancer diagnosis for my five year old golden retriever Holly. Since my one-man country vet had never seen blood work results like the ones that came back on Holly and had no equipment of his own to do [...]

Duel of the Duo Davids American Idol Top Two

I’m predicting, as I have all along, that the final two in American Idol will be David Archuleta and David Cook. I thought Syesha did a fabulous job last night with her three songs, and like usual the judges were way too hard on her. It’s obvious they want the two Davids showdown [...]

The Police Reunion Tour Chicago May 10 2008

The last year and a half has been a wild ride for me, starting with the rumors of a reunion on New Year’s Day 2007, followed by my last second trip to see the Police Rehearsals and announcement of the tour at the Whisky a Go Go in LA, then the Police shows I saw [...]

Erik Is Ice Cream Boy Survivor 16 Micronesia

Erik said it himself, he’s just an ice cream boy. I feel bad for Erik, I was cheering for him there, especially after he won immunity. I always like the underdog. How could he let those scheming women convince him to give up immunity? He had it made to the final [...]

Indiana Jones 4 The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

BRING IT ON, but please don’t let it suck! Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opens May 22, I can’t wait!!!

Jason Castro American Idol Final 4 Goodbye DUDE

If Jason Castro isn’t voted off American Idol tonight, I will have completely lost my faith in the American voting public. He was just terrible last night. Goodbye DUDE! If Syesha goes instead of Jason, I will be very upset, she was fabulous. David Archuleta was by far the best last [...]

Golden Retrievers and Cancer

I am devastated by the recent news that my five year old golden retriever named Holly has cancer. She is the most beautiful and affectionate creature and such a beloved member of my family, and it is so unfair that she has to endure and give in to this terrible disease. I’ve been [...]
