I am originally from Los Angeles, but grew up in Edmonton, Alberta. In between I spent two years of my childhood in Montana. One in Great Falls and the other in Havre. My mom married a Canadian when I was 9, and we moved to Canada. Because the winters in Edmonton were too damn cold, I moved back to California once I was 21. My radio career has taken me to Casa Grande, Ariz., and to Palm Springs, Fresno and San Luis Obispo, Calif., and back to Edmonton, and Yakima. I play poker, basketball and flag football in my free time. My claim to fame is that my wife Monica is sisters with the former Miss El Salvador 1996, who came in sixth in that year's Miss Universe competition. Of course I think my wife is prettier than her sister! I also have a 12-year-old daughter named Noel who is in junior high and was the fifth-grade champion high jumper.

Kit Kat Bars Should Have 5 Pieces
I love Kit Kat bars. The only problem is that the experience ends mid-enjoyment. After just 2 pieces you're already half-way finished. What a travesty!
I have the solution... add a 5th piece. That way you can eat 2 pieces and still have MOST of it left...
Does Eating While Standing Up Help You Eat Less And Lose Weight?
I've had this theory for a long time that eating while standing would mean you would eat less than when you're sitting because when you sit your lap supports the weight of your gut, making comfortable for you to eat more. When you stand, your gut doesn't have that support so I thought you might eat less as a result...

Coolest Damn House In Yakima!
On Saturdays I troll around the Yakima Valley, driving from estate sale to estate sale looking to buy dead people's cool stuff. My travels this past Saturday took me to Terrace Heights, where I saw the coolest house I've seen anywhere in the valley. It looks like a spaceship sitting on top of a hill.
Halloween Costume On A Budget
On Saturday, still 2 days away from payday, I found myself short on funds but in need of a costume for the Halloween Party we had at Jack-sons. I found the basic top hat, bow tie and vest at Value Village for $15 and got the hair and white makeup for my beard and brows for another $6...
How Is Smoking Cigarettes Still A Thing?
I'll admit to having lit up when I was a teenager but fortunately for me I never caught the "habit". I do like a cigar from time to time... once a year when I'm in Vegas maybe. As far as cigarettes go however I have never understood the fascination...
Anyone In Need Of 19 ‘Gently Used’ Police Batons?
In my search for mid-century modern antiques I comb a lot of internet sources, including PublicSurplus.com which auctions off items no longer needed by local, state and federal governments, school districts, etc. So this morning I open up my email and I see that the city of Everett is auctioning off 19 police batons in "good" condition.
Why Buy New When You Can Buy The Coolest Stuff At An Estate Sale?
I hit estate sales looking for mid century modern furniture on a regular basis. Last Friday I took Todd with me because he collects any memorabilia pertaining to the Seahawks or Mariners and this particular estate sale had a bunch. Apparently he and his wife were in the process of "decluttering" so I apologize to her now for contributing to Todd's sickness...
Taking Your Coins To Coinstar Costs 10.9% Now. Is It Worth It?
Yesterday I emptied all the pennies out of my odds and ends drawer in an effort to clean up my apartment. It turns out that I had exactly $2.00 in pennies. I know this because when I used the Coinstar machine at Walmart it counted up exactly 200 pennies and then I received a printed voucher for $1...
In California They’re Going To Vote On Whether Or Not Porn Stars Should Wear Condoms
As if this election cycle couldn't get any weirder, voters in California will have to decide whether or not to REQUIRE male porn stars to wear condoms. Attempting to ram Proposition 60 (the Condoms In Pornographic Films Initiative) down the throats of voters is the AIDS Healthcare Foundation...
