Hollywood sets such a great example for our youth.  Another washed up star was busted for driving under the influence this weekend.  It is such a shame that hollywood stars don't realize how good they really have it.  It is also a shame that fame and fortune can't buy happiness.

Heather Locklear has two young children with Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora who left her for Denise Richards.  Previously she was married to Tommy Lee who left her for Pamela Anderson.  Do you see a pattern here?  She currently dates Jack Wagner her former Melrose Place co-star.  I wonder if this will cause him to leave.

I sure am happy I am not famous!

The Avon/Avon Lake rotary orgainzation will be hosting it's second annual pizza bake-off at Avon Lake high school. The event is October 2nd between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM as part of the kick-off to homecoming.  Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12.  The event is all you can eat, so bring your appetite.  All funds raised go into the Rotary scholarship fund to benefit the communities of Avon, Avon Lake, Sheffield Lake and Sheffield Village.

We are all converting to digital TV this winter and that seems to be the only thing new on the schedule.  What happened to the creativity in Hollywood.  No one can seem to come up with a new show, let alone a half hour sitcom that is actually funny.

Two of the big new shows this winter are remakes from the past.  Let's all watch Knight Rider, oh wait, Hasselhoff is on America's Got Talent. NOT!  I also can't wait to miss 90210.  Nothing like watching a washed up Brenda Walsh, who was washed up the first time.

Television is flooded with reality shows like Survivor, American Idol, Dancing with the Star's, and America's Next Top Model.  Why did the writers even go on strike, you don't need any writers for these shows. 

Hollywood just keeps churning out garbage and we just keep watching it.  How about some creativity and some shows that are actually good for a change.  Hell, the only reason Two and a Half Men is actually funny is because it is not too far a stretch from Charlie Sheen's real life.

Wipe Out hosted by the Mercury Milan girl, give me a break.

As summer is winding down, I thought it might be a good idea to remind everyone why we live in the best location in the nation.

In no particular order:

1. A good dinner of beer battered Lake Erie walleye, Ohio sweet corn, Ohio wine and peach cobbler made from Milan, Ohio peaches.

2. The view from the top of any roller coaster at Cedar Point.

3. The Indians, Browns, Cavs, and High School football.  Go St. Ed's, St. Ignatius, Strongsville, Avon Lake, Glenville, Mentor, Olmsted Falls and many others.

4. The sunrise at 7:30 in the morning at any local golf course, of which there are many, to play nine holes prior to going to work. 

5. The sunset from Huntington Park in Bay Village after spending a day at the beach.

6. A trip to Sugarcreek, Ohio and the rolling hills from the window at the Der Dutchman restaurant.

7. The Lake Erie islands, the fun, sun and the view isn't bad either.

8.  Little Italy and the feast of the Assumption.

9. The Cleveland Orchestra and any of their outdoor concerts.

10.  A walk in the metroparks, hand in hand with the one you love.

I am sure there are many more, please feel free to add the ones I have missed.

I will admit it, my wife got me hooked on the bachelorette this past season.  The fact that the final two guys had ties to the Cleveland area made it more interesting.  I have always thought Cleveland has some of the best people in the nation right here.

Sure Deanna is hot but I sure felt sorry for the guys.  While she seemed to be sincere, I hope Jesse knows what he is in for.  Their recent trip to Ohio to come home to Amherst and go to Cedar Point was well documented on the news and in the papers.  She really seemed to show some attitude.  It might be here upbringing without a mother, but boy does she seem spoiled.

How many are with me in changing the name of the show to "The Bitchlorette".
