Dayside
Today Monica made her television debut on Fox News on a show called Dayside. She was on almost the entire hour as she was seated just behind the host of the show, and she even got to ask a question! Pretty cool if you ask me…my wife, the TV star.

Jim Cantore loves the weather
I spent much of today watching the Weather Channel, and their continuing coverage of the famous Hurricane Dennis. They do know their stuff, but it’s a bit odd to see them so pumped over a potentially catastrophic and deadly storm. You can tell some of them get really excited over it, especially Jim Cantore, who…

Serenity Now!
I just found another very cool podcast: The Signal. Back in 2002, there was a show on Fox called Firefly. The commercials that I saw for it peeked my interest so I decided to give it a try. Man, was that good television. It was not only good television, it was good sci-fi television. So…

Foote’s Legacy
You might have heard lately of the passing of someone named Shelby Foote, and if you’ve ever watched Ken Burn’s epic The Civil War, you’ve no doubt seen him. I love that documentary because it just feeds my passion for history, and Shelby Foote’s commentary is a big reason I enjoy it so much. He…

BSG
Okay, I admit it. I’m a Battlestar Galactica fan. I resisted for awhile because I just didn’t want to get into a new show. I tried not to buy into the hype, and I didn’t for awhile. But then, I thought, well maybe I’ll just check out the mini-series that was on back in 2003…

You are correct, sir
Didn’t do a whole lot this weekend as I’m recovering from my cold. I’m slowly feeling better, and I think my veins are pumping Robitussin now. Been watching some good NFL playoff action today. Too bad the blizzard didn’t hit today instead of yesterday because that would have made these games even more fun to…

I Am Feeling Very Olympic
Wow, we’re actually doing pretty well over there in Athens. Not that we usually do bad in the Olympics, but Paul Hamm winning a gold medal in the men’s gymnastics all-around, the first in like….EVER…is really something. I’m really enjoying the coverage. What I do is TiVo just about every second of coverage and then…

Clean Sweep
11 for 11. Tied with Ben Hur and Titanic. Wow. What an amazing display of respect and honor for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at the Academy Awards last night. The movie was just showered with awards all night long, and deservedly so. It won in the expected catagories such…

A Passion for the Passion
I watched the interview with Mel Gibson on Primetime last night, and I have a new found respect for the man. The “must-see” factor is very high for me on The Passion of the Christ, and you have to admire his devotion and determination to get this kind of movie made in Hollywood today. I’m…
