So after all the hype (not that I’m challenging her injury at all) about the bruise, Ms. Lindsey won her first gold at the Olympics yesterday. Good for you Lindsey. You go girl. Now, let’s talk. Here are the facts. She announced long before the race (days) that she might not be able to compete. She refused to get an x-ray to see if her leg was fractured. She said it was because she didn’t really want to know. We heard daily for one ...read more Last night I went to my first hockey game. I didn’t really want to go, but someone I work with who can tell me I have to do things sort of roped me in. I found myself grudgingly at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and LA Live (fabulous place!!!!) for dinner and then the game. I’d like to introduce the new me. My name is Christine, and I love hockey. I mean I love hockey. I thought it would be violent ...read more Who knew there was an Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs? I love the Olympics. I do. I love the competition, learning about the athletes from all over the world. I love women’s figure skating and the memories of watching it with my now grown up daughter. I was watching the Biggest Loser last night. Don’t laugh. It’s a great show. Really great. Anyway, they went to the training center in Colorado to train with the Olympians. But I was sad. ...read more What follows the Super Bowl? How does TV help you off the football adrenaline rush of the biggest game of the year? Lassie? Who would have thought? Weren’t little kids like me asleep by then? Did the guys watching the bowl stay tuned for Timmy and Lassie? Interesting. In 1969, it was the GE College Bowl. In the 70′s it was sometimes 60 Minutes. Then it heads downhill. I am embarrassed by this last decade of strong shows that followed the Super ...read more This is that weekend that comes every year when that football game that everyone watches comes on TV. The best part is that the movie theaters are empty and if you want to drive somewhere, it’s the perfect day to worry not about traffic. The Super Bowl is the most widely viewed television show during the year. I have to be honest. I don’t get it. Granted, last year’s half time performance by The Boss was spectacular, but you can turn ...read more Have you heard about Jessica Watson? She’s sixteen and going around the world on a sail boat by herself. The scariest thing I did when I was sixteen was letting Rick Kaufman climb in my bedroom window in the middle of the night to make out. It was really fun. For me, it was funner than taking eight months away from friends and sailing around the world alone. But different strokes for different folks. There is much controversy about her doing this. ...read more When we last left the Tiger through the Woods post from last week, he was accused of having an indiscretion, and I mentioned the forest for the trees and that we need to leave this man and his family in peace while they figure out their problems. I vowed to stay away from reading the fray and to rise above the smut. Look, I don’t respect those who project one thing and live another. I try these days to live a more authentic ...read more Get it, Tiger in the Woods? Really it’s not about Tiger in the woods, as much as its about not seeing the forest for the trees. Listen up. We have a fabulous opportunity here. We can rise above our lowlife selves and let the media and the world know that what Tiger does in the woods of his house is not our business. If he rammed a golf cart into the clubhouse at the U.S. Open after being chased by Jack Nicklaus ...read more Now that I live in LA, I also now work in an office. Aside from the fact that putting your hair in a pony tail is not the same as taking a shower when you work in an office, thus you must get dressed up every day instead of putting on sweats and lounging around, you also have conversations with people about things other than business, logistics about getting together, or child issues. They call it water cooler talk, and ...read more |
