My Steve Harvey Show experience
Three years ago, Chuck and I were invited to the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago for the official announcement that the production of The Steve Harvey Show was coming to the Windy City.

Golden Globes Fashion 2015: Amal wins, Kiera bombs and other highs and lows
The Golden Globes were sort of a letdown. I don’t know, call me crazy, but I like those unpredictable moments–some comfortable and funny, some not–that happen when people let their hair down.

To Blog or Not to Blog--Holiday Tips from an expert (not me)
I just read the weekly email from Chicago Now’s Community Manager Jimmy Greenfield. In it, he spoke about the reality of trying to blog/write with holiday doldrums, which are real and a casualty of the season.
