Last year Diane and I had an amazing time at the 44th annual American Cancer Society Cancer Ball. If you were there, you know that it was an incredible heartfelt evening for a great cause. This year's event, as you heard on the morning show this morning is set for June 9th in Rumson.

I made a quick stop at a supermarket in Ocean Township to grab lunch yesterday. As I sat in my car I saw three different people empty their shopping carts then hop in the car and pull away with the shopping cart sitting right where they left them, in the middle of two parking spots.

Sunday, I took a quick drive across Point Pleasant because I wanted to get my niece and nephew some ride tickets at Jenkinson's as an Easter gift. It was a beautiful early afternoon and the place was packed with families enjoying the rides. Now that's a great summer sound!

With Tax Day right around the corner, many Jersey shore residents are scrambling to get it all done in time. On the morning show, we were talking about doing your taxes without any professional help. I wouldn't even attempt it. I just feel like there are too many rule changes to know about, and, frankly, too many things to mess up, so I leave it to a professional.

Saturday afternoon, my wife said she was going to pick up dessert to bring to my Mom and Dad's house for Easter dessert. When she came home she had picked up 3 cakes and a pie, plus cookies for my nephew, niece and Nana. There was so much dessert there, I figured no one would miss one small piece of pie. I was wrong...very wrong.

We live in one of the coolest places around. It's a top tourist destination. People use their vacation time to come here, so we must be doing some amazing things with our weekends, right? We're already in the midst of all things people travel to get to, so we must be taking advantage of it right?. Wrong.

The Ashley Lauren Foundation is an organization that works tirelessly to help New Jersey children and their families who are facing pediatric cancer. Many times I have seen their committment to those kids and their families first hand and it is inspiring and very important.

Opening Day at CitiField resuted in a 1-0 Mets win over the Atlanta Braves. The Mets are in first place! I say that now because this will likely be the only time I'll be able to say it all season long. For all you Yankees and Phillies fans out there, let me have my day. You guys will have all season to be in or close to first place. I have today.

An inspirational message from Jersey Shore native Sam Mills will be sewn into the collar of the Carolina Panthers jerseys next year.

Not that it's ever really easy to get a new license, but with the new "Tru-ID" system taking hold next month here in New Jersey, be prepared to show extra proof of your identity.

There are 3 winning tickets that correctly picked the winning numbers in the record $640 million Mega Millions jackpot.

There's so much to offer locally - from amusement parks and arcades to boat rides and exciting outdoor activities. Before booking an expensive vacation away from home, consider the great attractions here at the Jersey Shore!
