• Local Lyrics

  I officially have a massive music crush on Eric Hutchinson and his band. Who? ERIC HUTCHINSON. Remember the name people because he is about to blow up big. He just came off touring with Jason Mraz and I caught up with him in Orangevale at The Boardwalk on Friday. I sat down with Eric before his show...

• "In God We Trust"

  Should "In God We Trust" appear on government buildings? This was our viewer voice question this morning and I also posted it on my facebook page. I received such a huge response back I decided to post the question to my blog. Republican Congressman Dan Lungren wants to etch the words on the new...

• Baby Rescued from Burning Car

  This is the most a harrowing piece of news video I have seen in a long time. The people who rushed to help and the panic they go through trying to get these people out of the burning car is raw and chilling. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/07/21/wi.car.fire.rescue.amateur

• Bed & Breakfast Fridays

  My first Bed & Breakfast Friday kicked off with the Amber House in Sacramento... and what a way to start off! The house is craftsman style and is absolutely stunning. The rooms are big and comfy with gorgeous private bathrooms. The best thing about this B&B is the breakfast part. The main chef...

• Learn to Tango!

  Argentine Tango started about 100 years ago in the barrios of Buenos Aires. The dance irrupted from immigrants; their cultures and music mixing to create Tango (pronounced with a hard "th") Tango by the River brings a little bit of the barrio to Old Sacramento. Owner Donna Williams teaches the...

• Good Samaritans Pets

  The most disturbing thing I have seen in a while (and I'm a news reporter so that is saying a lot.)
  
  I saw a woman beating a puppy at a bus stop on J street. She hit it several times over the head, picked it up and threw it down on the ground and then continued to beat it as it hid under the bus stop...

• Susan Boyle's Got Talent

  I dare you to watch this video of Susan Boyle, Britain's Got Talent contestant, and not be inspired.

  The 47 year old homely looking woman walks onto stage to snickers, eye rolls, laughs and disgust by the audience and the judges.

  But the second she opens her mouth to sing, the audience and judges...

• Bee Yard At UC Davis

  I am deathly afraid of bees and mildly allergic, but there is only a handful of things I wouldn't do for a story...
  
  At the bee yard at UC Davis there were hundreds of thousands of bees and me; deathly afraid and mildly allergic, was wearing the wrong colors, and my instincts were no better off (swat...

• The Complete Works Of Shakespeare

  I saw "The Complete Works of Shakespeare - Abridged" at the Sacramento Theatre Co. On Saturday.
  
  It was a three man show with a LOT of energy - but if you are expecting to see Shakespeare in any shape or form, this is not the production for you.
  
  

  
  

  
  Again, this is the "abridged" version and the three men...

• Past The Surface

  Past the Surface (Teaser) from emmpassion on Vimeo . I was on a panel for the ERI Aspire ( Empowering Relationships Inc.) Leadership Conference last month. I was chosen to give a speech to inspire the young women attending the conference to aspire...but frankly these young ladies were so impressive I...
