Meeting of the Minds

Had a rather long meeting today to brainstorm for upcoming show ideas. These have to be evergreen in nature cuz our show won't start till November (we hope by then, at least). This will be a flagship show for the station, and different than anything they've ever done before. And I'm the one who started it off. Oh, I get so happy just thinking about that. We came up with some really good ideas and I'm very proud of my staff.

These are some of the ideas:
1. The kid on campus who went to the U.N. to teach Furbish (you know, the Furbie dolls). He speaks at least 15 other languages...fluently.
2. Life as a Dramaturg
3. Myth of Leadership and current business models
4. The biological science of shyness in children
5. Mayflower lineage (you know how in the church so many of us seem to come from folks on the Mayflower-I come from two of them)
6. Mormon satire and comedic relief
7. Native American Law issues of today
8. Battle of Armageddon
9. Birth Order and effect on personality traits
10. Utah/Mormon urban legends
11. Scanning of Pompei with Roger McFarland
12. A special on Chanukah: Correlations between Mormons and Judaism

I'm not saying who we are getting to speak on these topics until they're officially penciled in and on board, but they're gonna be really good.

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
