That time I was almost tackled by the Texans


I get access to the field at NRG Stadium and from time to time and standing in the end zone to get great video is part of the gig. It's very exciting but can be very dangerous and scary if a player is coming at you to make a play. Like this for instance...

I donated blood LIVE on TV today

HEIGHTSTONIAN HERE... If you know me, you know I rarely discuss my battle with breast cancer almost 10 years ago. It's even rarer for me to talk about it with anyone, much less in public and on camera. Today I did both at my station for others in need of blood like I did then. 

If you know me, you know I'm a pretty good producer do timing this for a LIVE look also took some work. I also made that happen for our reporter to get the word out. Hope it helps! 

Here's a look... 



Our reporter Seth also mentioned me in when he was donating blood...


If you donate blood regularly, thank you. Thank you so very super much!!

Houston's Climate in Winter: What to Expect and How to Prepare

Houston's winter weather can be unpredictable, ranging from mild and pleasant to cold and damp. As temperatures begin to drop, it's important to know what to expect and how to prepare for the season ahead.

What is Houston's Winter Climate Like?

The winter months in Houston typically run from December to February, with average temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to mid-60s Fahrenheit. While it's rare for the city to see snow, it's not uncommon for chilly rainstorms to sweep through the area.

While the city enjoys mild temperatures throughout most of the winter, it's important to keep in mind that Houston can also experience sudden drops in temperature. It's not uncommon for temperatures to dip below freezing for a day or two, so it's important to be prepared for the occasional chilly day.

How to Prepare for Houston's Winter Weather

The key to staying comfortable during Houston's winter season is to be prepared for any type of weather. Here are a few tips to help you get ready for the season:

  • Dress in layers: 
    • With the fluctuating temperatures, it's important to dress in layers so that you can easily adjust to the changing weather. Start with a lightweight base layer, then add a sweater or jacket for warmth.
  • Invest in a good raincoat: 
    • Houston's winter weather often includes rain, so it's important to have a good raincoat or umbrella on hand to keep you dry.
  • Check your heating system: 
    • Even though Houston's winter is mild, it's still important to make sure your heating system is in good working order. Have a professional inspect your heating system to ensure it's ready to keep you warm on chilly days.
  • Insulate your home: 
    • To help keep warm air in and cold air out, make sure your home is properly insulated. This can help lower your energy bills and keep you comfortable during the colder months.

With a little preparation, you can make the most of Houston's winter weather and stay comfortable no matter what the season brings. 

Cannabis Beverages: A Trending Way to Consume Cannabis

 As cannabis continues to gain wider acceptance and legalization, new ways of consuming the plant are emerging. One current trend in cannabis is the rise of cannabis-infused beverages, which are quickly becoming a popular way to consume the plant.

Cannabis beverages are any kind of drink that contains THC or CBD, the two main active compounds in cannabis. These drinks can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and they come in a variety of flavors and dosages.

The trend towards cannabis-infused beverages is being driven by a few different factors. For one, drinking cannabis can be a discreet way to consume the plant without the strong odor that smoking or vaping can produce. Additionally, drinking cannabis can offer a more controlled and measured dose, which can be especially helpful for those who are new to using cannabis or who want to avoid the risks associated with over-consumption.

Another reason why cannabis beverages are gaining popularity is their versatility. They can be used in a variety of social settings and can be consumed as part of a meal or during a night out. They can also be used to help people unwind after a long day, manage pain or stress, or simply as a way to relax and have fun.

The cannabis beverage market is already booming in many parts of the world, and it is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. Companies are investing heavily in research and development to create new and innovative cannabis beverages, and consumers are showing a growing interest in trying out these new products.

However, it is important to note that cannabis beverages are still a relatively new product, and more research is needed to fully understand their effects and potential risks. Consumers should always exercise caution when trying new products and should consult with a healthcare professional before consuming cannabis, especially if they have any underlying health conditions.

In conclusion, cannabis-infused beverages are a current trend in the cannabis industry, and they are quickly gaining popularity among consumers. While more research is needed to fully understand their effects, they offer a discreet and versatile way to consume cannabis and are likely to become a mainstay in the cannabis market for years to come.
