I’m enjoying my new role as chief meteorologist (Heywood calls me Admiral) on the Ranch Radio. That’s 95.9FM on the dial in the DFW Metroplex. The wonderful thing about it is I can be chief from home in my PJ’s and slippers! Well, not really. It’s called Kristine’s Corner… Every Friday morning around 7:45am …I [...]
Climate change is a very hot topic and a controversial one. I don’t know of many other issues other than abortion and taxes that stir up such emotion and angst in people. I have spent hours researching the data myself and have even put together an educational program geared to help my audience understand both [...]

The interview was done last September when I was still with CBS 11 and just beginning to promote my first children’s [...]
We are already about 2 months into the 2009 hurricane season and we still haven’t had our first tropical storm in the Atlantic or Caribbean. Ocean temperatures are plenty warm, but the atmosphere just can’t seem to get going. Here’s this morning’s update from the National Hurricane Center. Even though there are a few tropical [...]
We all have people that come in and out of our personal and professional lives. But there are always a few that stand out and really leave an impression. In the fall of 2007, after doing a search for a local designer who could help me create a prototype for my Katie doll, I happened [...]
This week my family and I have been enjoying a wonderful week in northern Michigan where we own a lake house on Long Lake about 10 miles SW of Traverse City. There is a great little children’s bookstore on Front Street in downtown Traverse City that has invited me to do a book signing Friday [...]
I just got back today from a wonderful week visiting family in Montana. Highs in the 80′s, lows in the 50′s. It was AWESOME! I stepped outside the terminal at DFW and was blasted by the 100 degree late afternoon heat I’ve come to know so well. Yep, I was home. As we drove up [...]
