I watched the first Presidential debate with a frustrated, furrowed brow. At numerous times, both candidates just talked over each other, and dragged out the same points over and over again. I feel like they got away with this, in large part, due to the moderator, Jim Lehrer. He just seemed like he was along for the ride most of the time. I just didn't see a whole lot of actual, effective moderating from him. That's probably why I love this video so much.

I'm an adult; and as such, I enjoy the occasional adult beverage. Living in Fort Collins, I pretty much have to love beer; and trust me, I do. I give spirits their fair shake as well, though. The fanciest I usually get in terms of cocktails is a Manhattan; but the cocktail in this story makes even the swankiest Manhattan look like a Shirley Temple.

Face it: kids love candy. It's just one of those fundamental facts of life. You can force them to eat their veggies all you want, but their hearts will always belong to sugar. That's certainly how it was with me. I didn't actually start liking vegetables until I was in my early twenties! But my childhood love for all things sweet aside, I stopped trick-or-treating at around age 12. What surprised me, though, was that many of my friends ​didn't!

Moisture levels in Fort Collins may downgrade our level of drought. It looks like we have a wet September to thank, even if there was some flash flooding involved!

Buying gas can be quite a gamble. Prices can go up and down literally overnight, and there never seems to be enough warning about when our costs at the pumps are changing. Luckily, gas prices in Fort Collins fell a bit in the last week.

It seems the powers that be at Colorado State University are eager to get the ball rolling on a new on-campus stadium.

A year or so ago, a friend mentioned to me that some thought the US should get rid of the penny. I was kind of confused. But it turns out, it might actually be a good idea economically; and one store is out to prove it.

Back in May, my friend Shawn Patrick reported that pre-measured laundry detergent pods were being accidentally eaten by children who thought they were candy.  Unfortunately, this is still an issue today.

Identical siblings must be confusing.  It seems like most parents of identical children can always just tell which one is which.  But what about the rest of us?

Whether you're Team Edward or Team Jacob, this video should be hilarious.

Being on the radio is awesome.  Honestly, it's my dream job.  One of the reasons I love this job so much is that I'm a sound junkie.  Sound effects, singing, vocals, it doesn't matter what it is; but if I can hear it, I sort of obsess over it.  Maybe that's why I'd also love to do some voice acting someday.
