July 2007 ArchivesJim Cox was a friend. He is- was a really unforgettable guy. Talented, passionate, funny, unpredictable. He could have a fierce temper, and a ridiculously funny sense of humor. He was always kind and gentle with me, but he could be tough on people. He demanded excellence. As they say he "didn't suffer fools", or tolerate divas. He made me laugh. He loved women, was a talented carpenter who took great pride in re-doing his own home, he loved... Even as I write this, I remain in denial.... ...I knew three of the men who died in the helicopter collision in Phoenix last Friday: Rick Krolak, Jim Cox and Scott Bowerbank. I've listed them in the order I met them. In different ways, they were all bright, positive lights in my life. I learned from them. I laughed with them. I was in awe of their different talents. And even though they were three very different men, they had one thing in common: passion. ...We take the "family" part of Arizona's Family seriously, and now our family has lost two of it's brightest lights. It would be so easy to write a book on each of these guys. ...
Like most junkies he was skinny and nervous--and in the darkness of a rain-soaked Seattle night--he was looking for a fix.
... Where does the time go? I'm often asked "How long have you been at 3?" I'm not sure what it means when people seem so surprised that it's been more than 8 years. I've seen a lot in that time. Regular viewers may remember me best wearing some kind of parka (or sometimes a dry cleaning bag), during a storm. Surrounded by large bodies of flowing rain water. Or perhaps surrounded by snowstorms, or wind, or dust, or lightning. You're not a ...
I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I get paid to have adventures. ...OK, so as usual I am behind on my blogging, and I really wanted to share a bit of my vacation. We went to Cabo San Lucas for 4 days and had an amazing time. My husband and I actually took naps, read our books, and truly relaxed. I was in awe of the beautiful place we stayed, it was a splurge but worth it thanks to the gorgeous scenery, over the top service, and attention to detail. The resort is called the One & Only Palmilla. When you get... I had the coolest night. I hosted a motivational/self-esteem workshop at a place called Fresh Start Women's Resource Center. This is a facility in Phoenix at McDowell and 11th st., that provides countless programs to better women's lives. Last night, I was joined by about 25 women- I was nervous about the event. First, I thought no one would show. Second, I truly doubted I had any insight to offer them- I'm used to speaking to kids, but thes... I was at the grocery store the other day and something happened. It wasn't a big deal, really. But it got me thinking? I was in line with a cart full of groceries. Basically I was the annoying person who is stocking up when everyone else is just there to buy one or two things. There was only one line open (of course!). And a lady walked up behind me with just a couple of items. She seemed really stressed so I asked her if she'd like to...
Once upon a time, many years ago, a very wise man told me the secret of making good t.v. ...What a lovely place!! Yes, it's Mike Watkiss' fault. I blame him and only him. It's because of him that I have not written a blog in a couple of months. ...Did you hear about the UCLA student who was given Paris Hilton's recycled phone number when she signed up with a new cell phone service? She said her life changed. ...I wish I had a buck for every murder I've covered that was committed by some stupid, jealous, control-freak boy-friend or husband. I know I'd be rich!
... In hindsight, it appears that I have spent my entire life waiting for tomorrow. I remember being in high school and hating it... needed an adventure. ...
It was one of those hazy L.A. morning, a thick marine layer clinging to the Southern California landscape like a giant soggy blanket. It was a hot night in many aspects at Manzanita Speedway Saturday night for the last Sprint Car race of June. I finally got after it and raced to a 3rd place in the heat race. It gave me a lot of confidence since I beat some of the top drivers. However, it only really counts in the Main race and I started in a good spot in 11th. I felt I could drive to a top ten finish for the first time...but my gauge showed my engine was running extreme... It's been almost a month since I made the big move
Taking a punch on national t.v. can be good for your career. ... |
