U.S.A.We just posted seven new “How-To” videos. They are so much fun to make and I have a lot more ideas for the next ones. One of my new favorites is a healthier hot fudge sundae. Click here to check it out.

Congratulations to my friend, Vince, who graduates next month with his Masters. He’s always looked like a movie star but this spectacular photo of him was taken at the top of the Sears Tower in Chicago. What a testament to his commitment and hard work. Congratulations, Vince!
I wonder if other Californians are like me. When I find myself in different locations, I wonder how badly I’d be hurt if the big earthquake happened right then. Like today at mall on the 2nd floor, I looked down and thought, “I’d probably survive but I might break a leg.” When I’m in a high-rise, I’m not as optimistic. My least favorite place is stuck at a red light under a freeway overpass, but if there’s a big truck in front of me, I feel safer because I’ve decided the truck would stop the chunks of concrete from landing on me. Does that make me paranoid or do I just need a hobby?
Can you guess what this is? I’ll give you some hints…
1. It’s in my kitchen.
2. You may have it too.

I never thought to actually stick my entire face into a calzone to eat it, but it worked well for this little girl. Ruby is the 15-month-old daughter of my website developer, Robert and his wife, Heather. Robert swears this is a calzone but I still think it looks like a side of ham. 🙂
How cute is she?
You go, Ruby!
I had lunch today with my attorney and he picked the spot. I’ve never been to the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel and what an experience! They only have valet parking so I had to pull up in my dumpy old Lexus into what looked like a scene from a Turner classic movie. They had Bentleys, Rolls Royces, a Maybach, and some other shiny cars I didn’t recognize but one of the dozen or more valets agreed to take my car. Inside were the most beautiful people in the most beautiful clothes – one woman had a fox draped around her shoulders (with the face!!). Luckily, I got seated right away so no one could study the $49 skirt I was wearing from Macy’s. It was the ultimate Hollywood experience. I saw a couple of faces that might have cost more than those cars.
Last night, Denis and I had a date night and went to see “Date Night” at the Arclight Cinema. This is where you pay a little more (but not with our senior discounts!) and you get to pick the seats you want off a seating chart. They also have more upscale snacks like their own caramel corn and high quality chocolates. We didn’t get any snacks or popcorn but I brought my own red vines, but only two. Then a real person comes out in front of the screen, welcomes everyone, gives us the rules, like no cell phones or texting, etc. The movie was fun and I’d give it a 7 out of 10. I love watching Steve Carrell. We didn’t snack too much at the movie so we came home and finished off the pie.
We spent the last two days shooting more How-To videos for this website. I think everyone will like the healthier hot fudge sundae and my 50-50 tricks for staying healthy. I hope to get them posted next week.
It’s freezing here in SoCal, and raining. After the rain, I took a picture of a pansy in the back yard.
We just switched to the new server and my new blog is here! It may take a few days for this site to be up to speed so please be patient while the web geeks do their thing. Are you imagining a bunch of young guys with glasses wearing short-sleeved shirts and ties? What, no women web geeks? Of course not. If women were doing it, we’d have been done two weeks ago …just kidding, Robert 🙂 Besides, the women can’t do it – they’re in management. Ouch!
My favorite thing is to hear from former show staffers and see what everyone is doing now. Most of them are still working in television, three of them at Oprah, and a whole bunch in L.A. I don’t hear much from the old crew in Chicago – Mike, Billy, Hippie, Joe, Rich…. How about it? Remember this staff trip to Cancun? Drop me a line!
