My friend Kristy LOVES the Utah Jazz.  Now, I’m a fan, but not like she is.  Thankfully, she and I go to a Jazz game once in a while.  I don’t watch basketball when it is on televsion, but I love actually going to the games.  I think it is the atmosphere, the crowd, the [...]

Tonight I went to meet and have Ree Drummond sign my (well, her) cookbook.  If you don’t know who she is, let me tell you.

Last weekend, I went to see The Invention of Lying.  I was expecting it to be funny, which is was.  I was expecting lots of my favorite comedians to make small appearances – check.  But what I wasn’t expecting was it to be a bit blasphemous and I was almost offended.  Let me explain. In [...]
