PIZZA, anyone?

Planning to go out for pizza tonight?  You can take Round Table of your list of options.  The Statesman is reporting that the company closed all seven locations in Boise overnight…with no word to employees who showed up for work today and were told via a note on the door that “their employment had been [...]

Muse News

So you think you can “do” the news better than Dee Sarton or Don Nelson?  As a “trained” broadcast journalist who is now practicing in the field of PR, I’ve found it intensely interesting to observe the advent of the “citizen journalist” - you know, the idea that with cell phones, blogs, and other technology, anyone [...]

Help for the Coburn Family - JUNE 7 EVENT

We had some friends over this weekend for a BBQ and officially test out our imaginary table (see previous post “Shattered” for details…).  Table aside, I got a great tip from one of my friends who told me about a fantastic home decor place I’ve been wanting to check out in Nampa called “Graples.”  It’s [...]

Step away from that water…

The warm weather this weekend may tempt you to wade into the Boise River, but DON’T DO IT!  The river is flowing at dangerously high levels, and will get higher with the rapidly melting snow.  If you don’t believe me, check out this story from today’s Idaho Statesman:

So, what is news?

How many times have you wondered what life is like for our injured vets returning from war?  Ever considered the challenges (physical, mental and psychological) they face as the reality of missing a limb or having limited mobility sets in?  
I hope I never REALLY find out, you know?
Sometimes I think the news really kind of “misses [...]

Margo’s back!

Listeners to 107.1 KHITS got a surprise yesterday a.m. when Margo Vaughn was back on the air.  She’s been back on her blog too…sharing with the world what it’s like to be a breast cancer survivor.  http://blogs.kivitv.com/margos_road_to_recovery/

Best wishes to Margo

If you listen to KHITS 107.1 all the time, or watch Channel 6 news (both are owned by Journal Broadcast Group), then you likely have heard the news that Margo Vaughn, the popular morning show diva was undergoing surgery today for breast cancer.  
 Vaughn made the announcement on the air last week. You can follow her [...]

Resolution Rewind

What did I say!?!?  The Statesman this weekend confirmed my assertion that there’s no excuse for not getting active when you live in Boise…Even if it’s hard work.
 Check out the headline on the article (link below) by Pete Zimowsky:
Some of the best workouts in the Valley are in the Foothills
Exercising in the Foothills taxes the [...]

Patriotic Light Display

Hmmm… I guess you just have to see this one.  The guy built a replica battleship in his yard and covered it with Christmas lights!  Here’s the photo:

The Idaho Statesman
Former Navy man Roy Schmidt has constructed a 110-foot replica of the USS Arizona out of pigwire and Christmas lights in front of his home in [...]
