Super Fab Super Bowl Party Eats

You don’t have to travel to Dallas to celebrate Super Bowl XLV. In fact, I would venture to guess that there is more collective partying going on right now in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania than in ice-covered Dallas where airports have been shut down and highways are littered with stranded vehicles. I live less than an hour from famed Lambeau Field, home to the Green Bay Packers, and I can attest to the party-like atmosphere that has engulfed the entire state of Wisconsin. People here have been celebrating since the Green and Gold beat the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship … Continue reading →

Super Bowl Viewing at 35,000 Feet

Last year I spent Super Bowl Sunday on a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Honolulu. The New Orleans Saints were pitted against the Indianapolis Colts and I didn’t see a minute of live coverage; however, the pilot spent the last portion of our nearly 10-hour flight giving us updates on the score and trying to find a frequency at which flying football fans could hear the game on the plane’s audio system. What a difference a year makes. This year when the Green Bay Packers issue a smackdown on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, high flying fans … Continue reading →

It’s been 13 long years since the Packers got invited to the play for the national championship and the fun has only just begun in the Dairy State. Regardless … Continue reading →

Del Taco to Come to DFW

We’ve lived in Texas for about five-and-a-half years. One of the things we decided when we moved here was that we wanted to try new restaurants and new stores. We wanted to embrace Texas and leave California behind. Super Walmart and Super Target had not yet entered the market where we lived in California, so I embraced them completely. It was such a novelty to do all my shopping in one location. I was used to shopping at Target for non-grocery items and being able to save on groceries too was such a bonus. Everything at Super Target is so … Continue reading →

When Daddy Has Long Hair

“Mommy, is that lady a man?” My daughter’s unabashed question rang out like a clap of thunder in the night sky. Her voice was strong, her intonation direct and her face was as sincere as a priest blessing a sick child. There was no time to pray for her to lower her voice, the question was already out there, well within ear shot of a tall, burly guy with dirty blonde hair down to his shoulders walking a few feet in front of us at O’Hare International Airport. All I could do now was close my eyes and hope that … Continue reading →

Profiting From Your Photo Skills

This week a few of my friends are truly profiting from their photo skills. They are shooting video of the Super Bowl for a Green Bay-based TV news station. Basically, they are getting paid to do what they love: take pictures and watch football’s biggest game of the year. It doesn’t get much better than that, especially if you are a Green Bay Packer backer. Photojournalism definitely has its perks. If you are looking to break into the business, then consider these tips: Pay Attention: Seems like commonsense, but you’d be surprised at what you can miss in the viewfinder … Continue reading →
