Not OK anymore

Now I'm back in OK after 10 years on the left coast, but I'm still not 'OK'...we'll see how life in the middle of the country treats us. Keep checking for life updates and musings...

New Pics

There are a bunch of new pics up on the album on the left. Some are of my office this year. We came to Malibu the evening before we went to SF last week. There are others of Caleb doing lots of stuff. He is VERY busy ALL the time! There are few of our views, and then my new TV!

We are doing well. Caleb seems to be learning and saying new words every day! He is mastering the hills outside and love walking around outside often. Our busy season begins on Monday and will last for about a month. I may or may not be able to update this during that time, but will have much to update in Sept.

Sensationalism in the Media: Part Deux

Back when the Virginia Tech tragedy happened, I posted about how the media played the killers video tape and how sensationalism has taken over. Well this was validated yesterday, here in L.A. when last nights news on two of the three major networks didn't open with the war in Iraq or terrorist threats, or the tragic bridge collapse, they opened with the the Mayors affair with a news reporter followed up by the Phil Spector murder case. Then 6 minutes into the 30 minute program we saw bridge coverage!

What makes this even more confusing is the fact that the highway safety commission just listed the top 50 bridges in the country that need repair and 38, yes THIRTY EIGHT of the 50 are in L.A. Now we wouldn't want to address this on the nightly news, in front of an affair would we?
