I have found my calling in life…to become an Olympic athlete. Sure, I’m old and out-of-shape. But, I think with some training, I could easily suit up and throw some rocks for the U.S. Olympic Curling team. Don’t know anything about curling? Check this out: Curling clubs across the country have ‘Learn to Curl’ nights,…
ALL YOU CAN EAT MAC-AND CHEESE for $10 – and the money goes to charity? Yes it’s real. Yes you can go. And yes, it’s for a great cause. There are so many charity events – all for worthy causes – but this is one that stands out, and I really hope you attend!! Give…
The strangest thing has happened to me – and I feel the need to share it because I don’t know what else to do. This situation has me bouncing between laughter and anger…so I share in search of help. As previously blogged about, I have an obsession with Disney Starbucks mugs. My dear friend in…

What a long, strange trip it’s been. The first time I met Joe Clark was at the retirement party of Scott Harris. Harris was an Orlando news-icon who, shortly after his “retirement”, died of cancer. I met Joe and was instantly drawn in. We talked briefly about Jimmy Johns and our mutual love of NASCAR…
Today I got to do something I’ve been wanting to do for YEARS….go inside the brand new Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. I have been in Orlando for 15 years now – and it seems like it’s taken that long to get to this point! And I have to say, the facility doesn’t…
An event where I can swear a flannel shirt and jeans? Yes please! Last night I was lucky enough to attend the annual Cows ‘n Cabs event, benefiting the Community Food & Outreach Center and Elevate Orlando. So I borrowed some fancy cowboy boots and hit the town to get-down at Winter Park’s West Meadow. …
I really don’t know when it all happened. There was a time, not that long ago, where my children would be mildly interested in sports and sport news, but would rather play with toys. Suddenly, my oldest, who is now 11 and in the 6th grade, has become sports obsessed. It’s kind of awesome, and…
