• Flynn is still in

  Fox News was debating the Pam Smart/Billy Flynn drama yesterday. It seems that Billy - who now goes by William, by the way - pulled a 'Hillary' in front of a judge the other day. Only his tears before the judge didn't win him the New Hampshire Read More...

• Anxiously awaiting Punxsutawney Phil's prophecy

  Dear Punxsutawney Phil, it's almost time to rouse from your, um, place of hiding, and tell us what the heck is going on around here. We're anxious, you know. To know whether we have to endure six more weeks of this snowy, wintry season we've Read More...

• Now that's a Wham-O

  Richard Knerr died last week. Don't know who he is? He's the inventor and co-founder of the company that created the Hula Hoop. Surely you have used a Hula Hoop at some point in your life? If not, you've undoubtedly thrown around a Frisbee Read More... Posted Monday, January 21, 2008 11:14 AM by NHLife | 0 Comments Filed under: toys, military, Richard Knerr, Silly String

• Ra Ra Reality Television!

  I hope you like Realty TV. The "Writer's Strike" is about to change the face of cable television. First we lost the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards. I can't say I was disappointed. I only watch for the frilly dresses. And lately Read More... Posted Friday, January 18, 2008 8:04 PM by NHLife | 1 Comments Filed under: television, Writer's Strike, pop culture

• Chasing away the winter blues with Victoria's Secret

  I knew it was coming. I was actually looking forward to it. As I do every year. I got my Victoria's Secret "Resort 2008" Catalogue in the mail the other day. I've always found it rather amusing to get a "fun-in-the-sun" clothing Read More... Posted Monday, January 14, 2008 8:19 PM by NHLife | 0 Comments Filed under: Vacation, Winter Blues, fashion

• Extreme Makeover: Manchester to air

  The day we've all been waiting for is almost here. No, I'm not talking about Van Halen at the Verizon Wireless Arena. I'm talking about the two-hour episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition that was filmed in Manchester last fall. It's Read More...

• A Primary Hangover

  Did you all hear the wooshing sound that occurred sometime between last night after the polls closed and this morning? That was the sound of the bitter end of the New Hampshire Primary. Hooray. We made it! I learned a lot about my home state this week. Read More... Posted Wednesday, January 09, 2008 3:47 PM by NHLife | 0 Comments Filed under: Political, NH Primary

• Less than 24 hours from the NH Primary

  So here we are. Less than 24 hours away from one of the more interesting and (perhaps) most important New Hampshire Primaries in history. Less than 48 hours from the day after the Primary. All of this and we don't even get a half-off sale. It feels Read More... Posted Monday, January 07, 2008 12:24 PM by NHLife | 6 Comments Filed under: Political, NH Primary

• Calls from the political underbelly

  If I get interrupted one more time by political pollsters while speaking to my mother on the telephone, I'm going to reach through the phone and curtly ask them to stop calling. My mother is not so unpolite. She answers the calls and informs them Read More...
