Durango Bagel & Coffee Shop

If you've known me long enough, you'll know that my favorite place to get coffee is Durango Bagel. The Starbucks addicts reading this are probably hyperventilating over the fact that I choose a local shop over Starbucks. Well, there is a reason for that. Starbucks coffee is good, but Durango's is GREAT.

The other reason I like Durango is their bagels. They make bagels on site daily which means they are exceptionally fresh. Have you ever wondered how bagels are made? Wayne Wingate - owner of Durango Bagel shows us below.

Even better? Grab your laptop, head to Durango Bagel, get a bagel and coffee and watch the video using the free Wi-Fi hotspot.

Town Hall for Hope Now Available

If you missed Dave Ramsey's Town Hall for Hope earlier this year, you can now watch it on Hulu (which BTW, is one of my favorite new sources of programming since we dropped cable.) or simply watch it below.

The cool part, Dave reminds us why we can still have hope when we see the world in such chaos around us.



I'd be interested in your comments about the Town Hall or the economy in general.

Congratulations Kris Allen

Congratulations to Kris Allen in winning American Idol this season.

What you may not know is that Kris is a devout Christian and has been a worship leader. I'd love to have a worship CD if he ever records one:
