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,…
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…
I had an experience today that I found so disturbing and upsetting, I really am unsure of what to do next. So I’m blogging about it. Advice please. So my 8-year-old son is in an Little League. I haven’t been in love with the league this entire season. It’s unorganized from the top down. There’s…
My oldest son, Danger Cook, has been asking to redecorate his room for awhile. I kept putting it off since we’re never around saying, “wait until winter break when we’re home.” Well, that was stupid.

It’s racing season in Florida! The NASCAR season kicks off Sunday with the Daytona 500 and again, there’s a chance of rain. You may remember last year when they tried to start the race, but the rain kept coming and coming and coming. Then it was called off for Sunday and rescheduled for Monday night. …
I am sad the Olympics are over for another two years. Remember when Summer/Winter were held the same year and they were only once every four years? The Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same years until 1992, after a 1986 decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to place the Summer…
Ryan Lochte is an eleven-time Olympic medalist with five gold, three silver and three bronze medals. He’s also a favorite of the state of Florida. And let’s not sugar coat it – he’s pretty nice to look at. His seven individual Olympic medals rank as second all-time in men’s swimming. And he’s on track to…
Yes, he is that hot in person. Since my brush with my boyfriend, Patrick Dempsey, everyone asks me that…and yes people..DUH…the answer is YES! Let me set the scene… I work at a television station in Orlando. We are 24-hour news, and have a “sister-station” that is 24-hour sports. People working for the sports channel…
