Life is all about balance. On days I'm feeling down, I just remember all that I'm fortunate have in my life. On days I'm feeling on top of the world, I bring myself back down by watching a Mariners game.

OK, I'm from Seattle. That explains why I thought "50 Shades of Grey" was a book about the weather.

Harbor Patrol officers found nearly 8,000 pounds worth of marijuana floating off the coast of California on Sunday. They're pretty sure that wasn't all of it, after they found a pod of whales making a krill pizza.

A new J.C. Penney catalog features a gay couple. It's part of their new, "Won't ask, please order" campaign.

Of course, I have my doubts -- not that they're a gay couple, but that those are actually J.C. Penney clothes.

The Wiggles have announced that three of the original four members are leaving the group: the purple one, the yellow one, and the red one are all leaving at the end of the year. Their plans are to try and integrate the blue man group.

Eugene Polley, who is credited with inventing the TV remote control, has died at age 96. He'll never have to get up to change channels again.

Seattle traffic is 7th worst in the country. Wow, we're 7th. It's like having another sports team.

DC Comics says one of their major comic superheroes is going to come out as gay. With all those tights, capes and silky outfits, I'm surprised it's only one.

CNN's ratings have hit another low, their worst in 20 years. Their total number of viewers has fallen below the people watching a pot, waiting for it to boil.

Greg Allman is getting married again, for the 7th time. I believe he's earned the nickname, "The Larry King of Rock."

By the way, he's 64, she's 24 and hopefully has some nursing in her background.

Be against bullying or I'll slug you!

Los Angeles has become the largest city to ban plastic bags--in grocery stores, not under breasts.

Buying all those shares of Facebook probably wasn't the smartest thing, but the investment does go along well with my house.
