The kids on TikTok are still obsessing over outdated terms that make you sound old. Here's another one: If you step away from your computer and type "BRB" . . . you're ancient.
Young people claim they never really use it, and maybe there's a good reason . . . because they're NEVER away from their devices.
Catch me on a Monday after a busy weekend and I might beat this . . .

My wife just sent me this.
I think she's trying to tell me something, but I'm not sure... 😁
Okay, I'm officially done with cold weather. When is it summer again?
My company put me up in the hotel across the street last night, which was nice. Alas, no else has been able to make it in this morning due to really bad road conditions. Snow is one thing, but black ice on the roads is another thing.
Yes, that is snow behind me. One inch, which has shut the entire city down because we are not used to snow.
Been an exceptionally busy morning today. Not only having to do my own show, but also having to do traffic for all the other stations in the building as well as one of the local TV stations. So this is actually my first moment to catch my breath and grab another cup of coffee.
So how many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
They say that money can't buy happiness, but it can buy bacon, and that's pretty damn close.
It’s Flower Power Friday (or at least that day of the week when my mug and shirt are fighting for floral supremacy).
Eating cornbread is considered raising hell these days? Kids today just have no idea how to get in trouble, just saying…
Most of my adult life, I've been told the "Internet" is a series of interconnected computers and servers. Ha! We've all been LIED to! It's really a big glass building that looks like a mall. I KNEW IT!
While I love Japanese and French food, if I had to pick one country, it would Italy.
Bring me the pasta!
Question of the Day: If you had to spend the rest of your life eating the food of just one country, which one would it be?
Just heard a commercial for a new movie that bragged critics were claiming it was "the best movie of the year" ... which doesn't really impress me much since the year is only 11 days old.
My superpower
Isn’t strength or laser sight
It’s found in a cup
Question of the Day: What's the weirdest thing you have in your refrigerator?
This week on We Try Wednesday, we taste test the new mashup of Ding Dongs and Twinkies.
(My inner child was VERY pleased)
Someone was complaining about my sense of humor, saying that my puns were juvenile. I told him they are not juvenile, they are fully groan.
