Have I mentioned how happy I am cycling season has begun? Pete the Tapeworm is out in full force now. I missed him! This weekend Mattie Dietrich (the one who brought you H-I-larious) is visiting us and she’s going to be mad I mentioned her here, but didn’t hyperlink her name. Please someone (other than me) explain to her you need to have an online presence ... Read More

It’s Friday. It’s spring time. Cycling season officially began this week. It’s happy time! First things first, did you see Iron Man 3 last weekend? If you haven’t yet seen it, it’s definitely a big screen movie. I saw it in 3D (mmmmm…RDJ in 3D) and it was worth the few extra bucks. Also, Gwyneth Paltrow is stunning in it. I have a crush on her, ... Read More

Before we begin, let us first take a moment to wish Yvette Pistorio a happy birthday. We’ve been hearing the countdown for at least a month now. Clearly I’ve had a very good influence on her. At the count of three. One. Two. Three. Happy Birthday, Yvette! Now on with the show. Oh wait! Speaking of shows! Who’s going to see Iron Man 3 this weekend? ... Read More

At the now infamous Social Slam, where I keynoted last year, I met one Ms. Liz Reusswig in the lobby of the hotel. Our fate was sealed from that moment on. A communicator and marketer by heart, she not only runs a boutique agency focusing on those services for clients, she founded Kids Theatre News. Which makes total sense. If you missed her daughters performing in ... Read More

First things first, a huge thank you to Rebecca Todd for filling in for me while I was on vacation! You’re all kinds of awesome, Beck, and I can’t wait to see you in a couple of weeks! Secondly, everyone wish Mr. D a happy birthday! It’s tomorrow and we have a weekend of fun planned. Book of Mormon tickets, dinner with friends, and lots of gifts. ... Read More

I awoke to my sister shaking my shoulders, holding me at the top of the stairs saying “Becki! Run! RUN!” I ran down the stairs with her hot at my heels. I had just turned 9 at the time, and while my memories of this fateful night are disjointed, they are also crystal clear. My big sister Heidi running outside to take the car and get ... Read More

Let’s go back, waaaayyy back, back in time… It is Sunday night, and your pre-teen self is sitting in your bedroom, listening to the local radio station. You hear the DJ dedicating songs to listeners from other listeners, wishing and hoping that your name will be called. Maybe you even pick up the phone and call in a dedication of your very own… “And now, here ... Read More

Well, boys and girls, this is it! I’m taking some time off to celebrate my 10 year anniversary with Mr. D and to get some non-blog writing finished. You will not have another Gin and Topics from me until April 26. I know it’ll be rough, but I’m leaving you in super capable hands. Rebecca Todd is taking over for me. If you have videos you ...

Our office is officially closed today, but I am taking a writing vacation in exactly nine days so have lots to do! Yes, it’s true. I will be away from here for two whole weeks! But it means I’m taking advantage to most people being off today and getting some work done. That means you get the regularly scheduled Gin and Topics. I didn’t really want ... Read More

Patti Knight and I have been joking all week about spring. On the first day of spring, it was zero degrees in Chicago. Yesterday it was five. Today it is 17. We’re getting closer! My friend Ces Guerra posted this on my Facebook wall last night: LOL! It’s so true. Mr. D’s birthday is on April 27 and 90 percent of the time it snows ... Read More
