I need a favor.
Live with Regis and Kelly is holding a contest. They’ll choose 20 local broadcasters and give them the chance to appear as a guest host on “Live”.
One of my co-workers, heard about the contest and entered my name. The problem is, it will probably take more than one nomination.
Here is the link to nominate me. You can do it once a day. And you have the chance of winning a $500 American Express Gift Card. Not a bad deal.
Here’s the link: www.liveregisandkelly.com
You have to register, but I promise this is not a scam.

This is a picture of the walkway into my house. You see that black thing on the ground? It’s a phone. Not a cellphone, a cordless house phone. And no, it’s not my house phone.
I was pulling into my driveway on Friday when I noticed something on my front door mat. I wasn’t sure what it was. A frog? A snake? Another phone book? It wasn’t until I got close that I realized it was someone’s house phone.
But I’m not sure who owns it, or how it ended up at my front door? I guess Madonna really hit the nail on the head, when she said, “Life is a mystery…”

Sunday night, I was outside my house talking to a friend of mine,w hen I looked up and saw a shooting star.
My friend immediately said, make a wish.
Being put on the spot like that, I didn’t know what to wish for? Is there a time limit to wish for something after a shooting star? Would you know what to wish for?

Sometimes when you’re about to give up on people, this happens.
Yesterday was Father’s Day. For me though, it was just another day. As many of you know, my Dad passed away in January. This has been a year of adjustments for me and my family. First came Easter, then my birthday, now Father’s Day.
As I did my best not to think about the day, my cell phone was very busy. I got a number of phone calls from my friends all checking in on me. They knew this was my first Father’s Day without Dad and they just wanted to check in.
This is something I would never think of doing myself. But I just wanted to say thank you to those who checked in on me and those who just thought of my family.
From now on, I plan on picking up the phone and making that same phone call. Because you never know how someone is feeling on the inside.

I have made it to Monroe for the start of the Miss Louisiana Pageant. On Saturday we’ll crown a brand new Miss Louisiana. But before then, it’s two nights of preliminaries and hours upon hours of rehersals.
Here are some of the pictures of our first rehersal on Wednesday night.
These are just some of the 29 contestants who are competing for the title. This is them in the opening number, “Life is a Highway.”
This is Brent May performing the opening number, with the Miss Louisiana contestants behind him.
These are just some of the Fleur De Lis Princess performing their Peter Pan number with Miss Louisiana 2008 Blair Abene.
And finally a blast from the past. Three former Miss Louisianas. From left to right, Amanda Joseph, Melissa Clark Whitworth and Mette Boving Castor.
Our coverage starts Thursday night on KTBS 3 News. I’ll be reporting live from Monroe.
The Miss Louisiana Pageant airs Saturday night at 8 o’clock on KPXJ CW 21. See you then!

It’s a simple question, but there is no answer.
Have you ever run into a person like this? You’re in a meeting to throw around new ideas. The suggestions are coming one right after another. But for every idea that is shared with the group, there is this one person, the same person, with the same answer, “can’t be done.”
Is it a power thing? laziness? or all of the above?
I can’t answer that.
Then I got to thinking. Lately I’ve become that person. More and more I’m finding that I have my mind made up before I even hear the idea or the question.
Why are we, I, so reluctant to change? I’d like to think it’s the fear of the unknown. But it’s not. I think it comes down to the fact that we think anything new is going to require more work, more effort, or more time.
It’s time to change.

Talk about a wake up call!
A good friend of mine just suffered a heart attack. He’s only 51 years old. He was lucky, there was no damage to his heart muscle. But he has one artery that’s 100% clogged, another that’s 50% and a third that is 80%.
I never considered this friend to be unhealthy. Yes, he smoked, but he recently got on a diet, lost a few pounds and joined a gym.
It’s funny how this has hit my close knit group of friends. Two of them are now working to kick the habit. Others are watching what we eat and working out more often.
We hear everyday what we need to do to prevent this, but we never seem to listen until it hits close to home.

Ever since I was a youngster, one of my favorite questions was, “Can I have a puppy?”
Every time it was answered with a resounding “No!”
Now that I’m an adult, I thought, hey I live on my own, I can do whatever I want and I want a puppy.
I had the chance to experience my “own” puppy this weekend.
A friend of mine’s daughter got a miniature daschund. Now that she’s expecting her third child, the puppy became a little too much to handle. So they thought of adoption, namely me.
The dog was in my house for less than 24 hours. During that time it managed to poop once and pee four times in the house. My hands are sore from where it would nip at my fingers. And it required constant attention.
Conclusion: I’m not ready for a puppy!
