Happy Birthday dear Teddy!

12 years ago today, Teddy joined our family. Here he is on his first day in his new home, about 20 pounds too light after weeks at a shelter. (The cage, which we had been advised to use for his transition, lasted all of an hour)

You and Janet really hit it off. Love it! 😍

After today's segment, a colleague asked why people buy crypto. I explained it like this: You walk into a casino just as someone is hitting a jackpot on slots. What do you do? You sit down and play slots. That's the crypto market

Coming up on #KTLA: What's new in Crypto Land? Oh, nothing much, except a huge drop in Bitcoin and shares of crypto firms being wiped out. It's hard for Ponzi schemes when the Greater Fool Theory stops working

Puppies!!

I like my job most days. But there are some days I *really* like my job

Of course there’s a chase …

Coming up on #KTLA: Among the massive cuts being made to the Washington Post, the paper, owner by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is closing its book section. Is there a more self-defeating move than the country's largest book seller getting rid of book reviews?

Westminster, Schwestminster, Teddy rules the world!

Coming up on #KTLA: A social network was created solely for AI chatbots. The idea was that by interacting, the bots would develop more quickly. Then things got weird ... and potentially dangerous to human beings

Coming up on #KTLA: Disney picking its theme-park head to replace Bob Iger as CEO is a big deal. The new Top Mouse is a consumer-experience guy, not a content guy. That suggests Disney's board is acutely aware of what makes the company special

‘And I’m just saying, Teddy, that with everything going on in the world, what’s the big deal with me hacking up a hair ball on the bed?’

Lupin decides it’s probably better to just stay in bed today

We’re cutting this topic for the 4 because of the protests. I’ll serve it up on the 10 o’clock show

Coming up on #KTLA: It's called 'travelskimping' -- companies telling employees that if they need to take business trips, they have to do it on the cheap. Gone are the days, apparently, when a business trip was, you know, fun

Once again, the furbabies provide leadership and common sense. Lupin has become a wise one, except when it comes to lizards.

I got bumped by the protest coverage. See you at 4
