I goofed

When I told you all that Tina Fey would be hosting SNL last night, after seeing the promo on NBC, I honestly thought the network was capitalizing on the Tina Fey/Sarah Palin sistahs-from-anotha-motha comparison and had brilliantly scheduled a timely guest who would make the most of the situation.

And then I found out it was a repeat and the season premiere of SNL is NEXT weekend, hosted by someone who looks like NONE of the candidates: Michael Phelps.

I guess we'll have to take off our comedic hats and put on our Olympics-lovin' hats for the evening.

By the way, what IS it with the hat talk? We keep hearing about how McCain's got to take off his Republican hat and put on his American hat. I'm confused.

We thought...we've mentioned it before...I could've sworn...

I don't even wear a hat! Maybe I should...

Anyway, I fell victim to the advertising and assumed that SNL was new, too. This wouldn't have happened in the good ole' days when the REAL TV Guide was still around. I'm not talking about the "can't-decide-if-it-wants-to-be-a-TV-guide-or-an-Entertainment-Weekly" TV Guide we have now. I'm talking about the little TV Guide that was near and dear to my heart and has been gone for a while now. I used to read it religiously for some reason...

So, I Changed My Mind

More than four years ago, the blog and I parted ways. I needed a change. A whole lot happened in my world since then. I switched jobs a couple times. My kid went from an elementary school tween to a teenage high schooler. We built a new house and moved. Both my parents and my sister have passed. The world around me changed as well. Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
