On the drive home, I began reading up on the many efforts to save sturgeon from the brink of extinction. Before we even pulled into our driveway, the idea for this special was born.

I really believe the Detroit Lions can do it this time.

During storms earlier this summer Hank Winchester had damages that totaled up to around $15,000.

Why is the internet suddenly obsessed with being “very demure, very mindful”?

As George Carlin would call them, here are a few “brain droppings” from Paris on this Wednesday, the first day of competition.

There is something quite extraordinary about that parade of nations during the opening ceremony, looking at the vast spectrum of humanity from all over the world gathering in one place to compete, yes, but also to connect.

It’s hard to believe several years ago most Americans had never heard of its other Independence Day, Juneteenth, which recognizes the end of slavery in the United States.

If you live near certain bodies of water, then you know it’s that time of the year when you need to make sure all your lights are shut off before the sun goes down . . .

As some of you know, I have been a Detroit Lions fan for just over a month now and I cannot even begin to find the words to express my utter despair when they lost to the 49ers.

I’m sharing my story as a reminder for everyone to get their skin checked.

I was washing my face and that’s when I noticed it -- a flaky little section on my cheek. Skin cancer.

If you live near certain bodies of water, then you know it’s that time of the year when you need to make sure all your lights are shut off before the sun goes down . . .

I’ve been working on creating our outdoor oasis, and I’ve decided to bring the outside in. 🌱

I always feel a little guilty slipping away when the kids are up and wanting to play, but some days, sometimes I do something just for me. Yoga is just for me.

As Carl Spackler once said in recounting his day caddying for the Dalai Lama, “HEY! Lama! How about a little something for the effort?”

When I take my reporter hat off, I have a very short attention span -- which is why I’ve been speaking out about this “issue” amongst friends and family for years. That issue is loquaciousness.

I shop the specials; I make sure we’re using all our fuel points, but you can only do so much when it comes to the actual price of things that are on your list. Enter my super (not so secret) weapon … meal prep … yep, meal prep.

“Were you nervous when you started on TV?” “Do you ever get the forecast wrong?” These were a couple of the questions that curious students asked me on a cool Friday morning in northwest Detroit.

A recent Friday night in Ann Arbor was one of those work nights when I really wished my wife Corey was with me.

Genetic testing is a proactive approach in the fight against cancer and in cancer prevention, whether there’s a family history of cancer or not.

As a young woman who has grandmothers on both sides of her family who’ve battled breast cancer, I was blown away that there was a process that could tell whether you were at a higher risk for breast cancer.

When I say this will blow your mind when you first encounter it, I mean it. I started experimenting with ChatGPT in January on my newsroom computer. Anyone can access it, so I created a username and login -- easy as that.

We started running promos earlier this week for my story catching up with Van Earl Wright, and I immediately started hearing from people eager to know what Van Earl was up to.

It was a sight I have never seen. Car after car in the intercoastal waters of Bonita Springs and Naples, Florida.

My daughter, Madison, turns 13 years old today! How can that be? So, that means I am a mom of a teenager? I have to admit, this one is hitting me a bit. How do I do this?

When I was in my 20s, I saw those “soccer moms” at the park and I heard their (in my opinion) horrific stories about travel soccer.

It can be overwhelming as you walk the aisle of your local pharmacy or visit a mall. I get a bit intimidated at the lotion, potion and makeup counters.

Saturday morning was a beautiful spring day, but it was not like most of my weekend mornings.

It feels good to be back in the swing of things!

We are 12 days away from the Tigers Opening Day at Comerica Park. Here’s why my trip to Spring Training this year makes me even more excited about Tigers baseball.

I had the honor of working with The Real Madam Secretary one afternoon in May of 2012. Here’s how that all came about.

It is a shift in mindset to be an all-electric car owner. Simply forgetting to plug in your vehicle at the end of the day could pose a problem, especially if you don’t have a quick-charge option on your route.

Originally, I was scheduled for court via Zoom, but this time it said to report to the court. Even when someone shows up with phone records to allegedly prove they weren’t texting like the ticket says—they lose the hearing. Almost immediately, the magistrate and officer agree to reduce it to a ticket for double parking, no points and fine of $180 dollars. Colthorp, the officer did not appear, your ticket is dismissed.”(Eyes as big as saucers) “Thank you, ma’am. Also, my next great idea is going to be turning traffic court Zooms into a TV show somehow.

“No,” I replied, “why?” “A plane just hit the World Trade Center,” she said. “Must have been some catastrophic mechanical failure where the pilot had no control of the plane,” I said to my wife. A short time later the second plane hit, and that instant before anybody speculated on TV, I knew exactly what was going on: we were under attack. He stopped to get his shoes shined...by a guy set up at the base of the World Trade Center. Fifteen or twenty minutes later, the planes hit.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, I woke up late and was scheduled to do the weather-cast for our 11am newscast. When I got in the car, my ESPN radio station was not talking about sports. I walked into KTNV and our newsroom, like every other newsroom in the country, had TV monitors lined up and stacked up across the back wall. At 9 a.m., our main anchor evening team was on the air broadcasting updated information about the 9/11 terrorist attack. I had no personal or familial connection to this attack but it still haunts me to this day.

I had just started my senior year of high school. I remember walking in the halls of my high school and as we switched classes, someone mentioned that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. To be honest, most of the students in my class had no idea what the building even was. That’s when we saw the second plane hit the second tower. Today, I still feel that same scared feeling in my heart reminiscing about this terrifying time in our country’s history.

DETROIT When my photographer partner, Justin and I were invited to do an exclusive summer school tour with Dr. Nikolai Vitti on Friday, there was one caveat. We had to produce evidence of a recent coronavirus (COVID-19) test that shows a negative result. Its one of those times in life you want to be negative.

Justin and I walk you through our experience with the City of Detroit Health Department and our nurse, April who did our nasal swabs.
