Book Review: Ask for a Convertible
August 27, 2008 – 3:18 pm
Check out my review of Danit Brown’s debut, Ask for a Convertible. Here’s a little taste for ya:
“Ask for a Convertible follows Osnat’s struggle to find her place in America, and later, Israel, along with a handful of other characters that link back to Osnat immediately — like her homesick mother — or later on, […]

Dispatched: Sharapova makes it look easy as anticipation builds for Maria vs. Serena
April 17, 2008 – 1:24 pm
We can’t make this stuff up
By Josh Eboch
On Monday, Maria Sharapova told me that her game gets stronger and her confidence grows as tournaments progress. If that holds true this week, the rest of the field at the Family Circle Cup is in big trouble. Sharapova decimated second round opponent Bethanie Mattek, 6-0 6-0, en […]
Family Circle Cup Media Day: Chatting With Serena and Maria

What a racket
By Josh Eboch
Yesterday, I went toe to toe with two of the biggest names in women’s tennis: Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. Alas, I wasn’t the only reporter in the room, but the small crowd made for a great opportunity to ask the superstars a few personal questions.
When Sharapova entered the media tent, […]

Rant: Skinny Starlets
March 13, 2008 – 2:38 pm
Like many people (mainly women, in fact every woman I know), I’ve been working hard to get in shape for bikini season. Cutting back the calories, exercising, etc. I’ll admit I’ve gotten a bit obsessive about it at times (like most women I know), but this article helped me put things in perspective a bit. […]

EVENT | Dress to kill… Or be killed!
The recent zombie outbreak has continued to spread across the peninsula since the first members of the undead were spotted exiting Magnolia Cemetery last Thursday. Law enforcement officials are bracing for one of the most intense zombie influxes yet on Wednesday night. Officers were tipped off by the […]
Rock of Love Spoof
March 3, 2008 – 4:19 pm
As much as I try to avoid it, sometimes really, really bad TV just sucks me in. Which is why I’ve been watching Rock of Love II religiously every Sunday night. This SNL spoof is pretty dead-on … though the show is so ridiculous, it’s almost funnier than the spoof. My favorite girl in the […]
