American Cliche

This week I spent most of the show talking about Christine O’Donnell and the Tea Party. Frankly, I’m pretty scared about the prospect of someone like this bumbling her way into a seat on the senate. She hasn’t been willing to do interviews – all we really know about her are some of the clips […]

Have you guys been following the controversy around Katy Perry’s appearance on Sesame Street? I don’t understand what the fuss is about. Children see more skin on a public beach. Why aren’t we outraged over all the violence on TV that kids watch? Oh, and isn’t it a double standard that the monsters on Sesame […]

Have you ever had a week where the days melted together and you often found yourself staring at a to-do list that you thought you’d never get to the end of? Yeah, me too. In addition to being swamped with client work, I’m trying to spend as much time with Emma as I can while […]

Now that Labor Day has signaled the official end of summer, it’s time to put our heads down and focus on work – at least it is for me. The next couple of weeks are going to be extremely busy with client projects, but hey, in this economy I think we’re all happy to have […]

As the summer rolls to a close with the impending Labor Day Weekend upon us, I’m reminded of how much life changes from season to season. I think about how different my life was last summer compared to this one. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just part of my natural evolution. So as you […]

This week I’m doing something a bit different on the show. I’m in a musical mood, so I’m sharing some of my recent musical finds with you. Sometimes you’ve gotta shake things up a bit to keep it fresh. For those of you that NEED your dose of political snarkiness – fear not – I’ve […]

I’m late again producing a new show. I apologize for that. This week has been incredibly busy and saw a lot of unexpected things surface. Last minute client work and a sick child sidelined me for longer than I had hoped. But that’s life right? Things come up and you deal with them. Tomorrow I […]

I’ve talked about Fiesta in Santa Barbara many times on this show. Officially, it’s a celebration of the city’s Spanish heritage. Unofficially, it’s a five day party throughout downtown. Last night I had a pre-Fiesta kickoff with some good friends at Arigato Sushi and the Press Room. Tonight, I’m heading to the rooftop of the […]

I had an amazing day this past Saturday. I spent the afternoon at the beach in Santa Barbara with my friend Manny at the California Wine Festival. The ocean was 40 feet away on one side, and the mountains and palm trees were on the other. Besides the amazing weather, there was great wine, food […]

I complained last week because of overcast weather here in Santa Barbara, now I’m paying for those remarks. For the last two days it been 90+ degrees at my house. While I recorded the show there was no ventilation, no fan and no air conditioning. You have to shut everything off so you don’t hear […]
