I am by no means a super hero. I have no super powers like Underdog, but I do have canine intuition. I was called into action recently to save the day. OK, maybe "save the day" is a bit of a stretch. But if you were there and heard my dad, Bobby, talk about it, I did save the day. While maybe it had no impact on the economy or world peace, it impacted my family and my peace. Let me set the stage. My mom, Wendi, was signed up to go to a training in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday, March 23. … [Read more...]
Owney Travelogue: Cincinnati and Beyond
When my dad, Bobby, told my mom, Wendi, that a guy named Richard Osterlind was doing a magic lecture in Cincinnati on Saturday, March 25, 2017, I was sure that meant I would be visiting my family in Lodi. That is usually what happens when they go away on a trip. I appreciate their concern for me and wanting to make sure I am not stuck in the house the whole day, but sometimes I wish I could go with them. Well I don't know if Dad can really read minds or if they couldn't find someone to watch me, … [Read more...]

If you have ever spent any time reading this blog, you should have deduced that of the two of us, Bobby is the much … [Read more...]

Tony Rizzo, host of The Really Big Show on WKNR-850 AM, recently talked about how an iconic hotel was closing. Being the experienced radio host he is, Rizzo didn't name the hotel, rather he teased it ... letting us listeners know he would be talking about it after the break. Well, I was in the parking lot of The Daily Record, where I work as a staff writer, and I was not going to wait until after the commercials. So, I Googled it. Come to find out, it is the Waldorf-Astoria. Wendi, my … [Read more...]
Serving Up Blog Leftovers From 2016
Wow, we're in the year 2017! Seems like just the other day that we were in 2016.(I know, we were, I just think it is funny to say. I'm like my dad in that way.) So looking back over the year, I realize there were things we did but never wrote about, that I want to get off my whiteboard. Let me explain. Last year I bought a small white board (the kind that can go in a school locker) so my husband, Bobby, and I would be able to keep track of the posts we needed to write. We erase them from … [Read more...]
