I’ve been holed up writing writing writing to meet a book deadline and want nothing more than to be free, crawl outside and slither in the streets. As Jon Stewart said on the Daily Show last night, “The desire for freedom is universal.” If you’re in NYC, you’ve heard there’s a poisonous cobra on [...]

Wishing you a four leaf clover day! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Let me give you a green rundown. My neighborhood restaurant in Hurley, The Hurley Mountain Inn, once again served 12,000 pounds of corn beef and lots of green beer. Oh, and there were parades. So, in cased you missed either of these events, [...] Pine Bush, New York, near my farm is a hotbed of UFO activity in the Northeast. I’ve seen amateur video and talked to people in the UFO society who swear they’ve “seen things.” But I’ve never quite seen anything like this: A UFO sighting in Jerusalem, captured by two different cameras from different angles. [...] Oh, this weather. I returned from Sundance to a house encrusted with ice, ice, baby. (At left, the view from my front porch.) On days like this, my grandfather used to say it was so cold his teeth were chattering in the glass. Fortunately, world famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil peaked out from his winter [...] I’m escaping the bitter chill of New York City and heading to where the grass is greener, snow is whiter: Park City Utah for Sundance. I’ll be skiing and tweeting gossip, movies, and temperatures from there this week. SO, if you haven’t found me on Twitter… please do so, here.

Each January 3rd is “National Fruitcake Toss Day.” The Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce in Colorado hosts “The [...] What are YOU doing for New Year’s? Forget Snooki in a ball, especially now that it’s been moved to Jersey! Instead, how about ringing in the #NewYear with North Carolina’s infamous “Opossum Drop.” Yep, you’ve read correctly. In Brasstown, NC, (on the NC-TN-GA tri-state border) they drop an opossum at midnight*. (*Note: I’m told [...] I’m traveling around the country doing TV for TJ Maxx. Having been on a flight a day for the last week, as Johnny Cash sang, “I’ve been everywhere man!” Except for the old lady at Chicago O’Hare who was accosted because of her FIVE ounce, half-used tube of hand cream, I have to say [...] How does someone wake up one morning with the idea of going to the top of a mountain, attaching a parachute to his back, and skiing off the peak? Well, this video of parachute skiing proves that at least two people think it’s a good idea. Yes, it looks gorgeous and exhilarating, but someone [...] |
