As you know, I launched a new Web site last month -- http://onegreatseason.com -- and you also might know, I'm going to drive around the country for the entire college football season. I leave in less than two weeks, and once I'm on the road, I'll update the site daily with words, still pictures and short video clips.The only obstacle remaining is funding, and if you want to help me out, I'm

What a terrible time it is these days to get laid off from your job, what with the sour economy and all.And getting fired isn’t much better.But that's what happened to me five weeks ago, and you can read all about it right here.

Being asked to house-sit came at a good time. I figured I'd go hang out in the suburbs for a few days and get some work done on http://onegreatseason.com in the comfort of a centrally air-conditioned home. Instead, I'm lamenting the absence of any ability to take care of an abandoned baby animal. Here's a mid-afternoon update on this fiasco:

My old boss and good friend @jtmyfox asked me to watch his dogs for the week while his family is away on vacation. I arrived at about 9:30 a.m. today, and before the clock struck 10, his dogs and I stumbled upon a tiny little helpless newborn animal that was clinging to life and screeching for help.I got some warm water and poured it all over the mysterious creature, whose eyes aren't even open

You've probably read about my stepdad Mike on here a time or two. He's in a lot of pain. I saw him last weekend when I went home and this bully called cancer is really making things tough for him.Mike muscled through the radiation last year, but the post-treatment medicine brought with it some unpleasant side effects. The bone in his lower jaw, in fact, began dying months ago, and doctors had

Home is usually a great time, but this weekend was especially memorable.Last summer, I missed my 20-year-high school reunion, which I would have loved to have attended. But what went down in the great city of Cleveland on Friday could not have been topped.About 500 of us jammed into La Vera Party Center to raise some money for our old bud Brian Ganim. Our boy has been recovering from a stroke

I've been saying for years how great it would be to get rid of all the clutter and take on more of a minimalist existence.I don't mean I'd get rid of everything; I'd certainly keep my clothes, my media and gadgetry and kitchen necessities.But I'd get rid of more than just paperwork. Do I really need to hold onto a small statue or a wall hanging so I can tell curious visitors I got it in Singapore

I haven't really talked about Mike on here in a little while, so let's get caught up.You might remember, he learned about a year ago that he had squamous cell carcinoma. The initial reports were a little cloudy; I couldn't tell if it was skin cancer or throat cancer. Unfortunately for Mike, it was skin cancer near his throat.He's been fighting a good fight, not necessarily taking names but still

It's pretty funny how some women on Facebook use some sexy shot of themselves for their profile picture when their day job requires them to be a journalist. Please make up your minds; you can be a busty whore or a journalist, but probably not both. That is all.

I put a little hint out there on Saturday, and got some snarky feedback. Now I'd like all of you to weigh in here, but first let me drop a disclaimer or two:I'm fully aware that being 38 and moving in with roommates isn't the coolest move of all-time. But things are done a little differently here in New York. Certainly if you're among my Ohio or Kentucky friends, the idea sounds absurd. Even some

Facebook is the great uniter, of course, but that doesn't mean getting in touch with old friends is always delightful.A former crush from college days -- yes, many years ago -- tracked me down and as we played the fun game of "How did we meet?" she dropped this nugget on me:"Another fun memory I have of you my friend (since you do enjoy memory lane) was...I think I was on a CWEST treasure hunt/

Sorry it's been so long since I last updated. New job is fairly demanding and long days are the norm. I hope both of you can understand.But just wanted to ask if you think this grizzly bear took a picture of his own foot.

And with about six weeks left in my job at FOX, I found myself staring at an inbox that had 7,800 emails in it. I had to do something.And what did I do?I thought of you. Yeah, that's right.

Tiresome are the lists re-capping the best sports stories of the year or the most bizarre photos. Every single news site has every single list imaginable, but one thing I don't necessarily see too often is bloggers posting their own personal year-enders. I suppose that's mostly because no one cares. But I've been away for too long, as the new job is a great challenge and leaves me exhausted at

I'll never claim to be a pioneer in online news, but I have been at it for nearly a decade and I've been progressive enough that I'd like to think I'm near the leading edge.The thing that frequently turns me off about the news business in general is this long-holding take that we're not allowed to openly acknowledge the competition.
