Dave Williams 1/24/17; We’re not supposed to bury our kids

If we’re lucky we make it through most of our lives without being hammered too hard or too often by personal tragedy. Still, life strikes us all with blows that send us to our knees. ALEDO, TX (WBAP/KLIF News) – WBAP has lost a beloved member of the family: Hal Jay’s oldest son, Josh Harbuck, 36,…MORE

Freda Ross 1/10/17; Buy Yourself Something Pretty

We just finished the holiday season. A time to show your loved ones how you feel by sharing a gift, like the Wise Men brought gifts to Baby Jesus. I asked my Facebook friends what they bought themselves for Christmas. Many of them said “nothing.” Not surprising to me most of the “nothings” came from…MORE

Nicole Osei, 12/29/16: Learning to Relax More in 2017

2016 was a difficult year. I watched someone very special to me lose a hard-fought battle with cancer at the beginning of the year. What helped me get through it was to remember to take in life’s beautiful moments. It’s something that I have always done but it seemed to resonate with me more this…MORE

Growing up in the Midwest, Christmas was something my family launched into at full speed. Then that seemed to slow a bit the older I got. Present Day, my Christmas comes in the middle of the month. Traveling back to the Kansas City area to see my family, exchanging gifts, then it’s back home to…MORE

Marlee McCormick, 11/09/16: What’s In a Tweet?

No doubt we are all breathing a sign of relief today…especially those of us in the news media (now we can start chasing new, un-election related stories!) But in the meantime…last night I was very focused on social media.  One because I was live tweeting election results for my job and two because I’m fascinated with…MORE

Dave Williams, 11/08/16: What would George say?

Today, finally, is election day and I will say no more about it.   Except this: For sixteen months we’ve been treated by the candidates, the media and our own friends to a daily avalanche of vicious insults and variously skilled manipulations of truth, maybe more than at any time in American history. This has been the…MORE

Eric Bushman 10/27/2016; Another Fair Down

After too many Deep Fried Cuban Rolls, Jalapeno/Cheese Corny Dogs and watching my daughter scarf down a Deep Fried Brownie, I can say I’m “Faired Out” as the North Texas temporary term goes. Between the crowds, the lines and lovable Big Tex, I have become addicted to the annual event that draws Texans from every…MORE

Scott Sidway 10/21/2016; Making America(‘s team) Great Again

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a pretty big debate sweeping America by storm. It’s on the forefront of millions of people’s minds, and it’s become so polarizing that even men who have held the position in the past are taking public sides – and sometimes not the side you’d expect. Oh, and there’s also…MORE
