Well, other than being a little bummed I get to miss out on the fun of scaring little kids, I’m crazy excited about this trip. I’m headed to singer/songwriter Jewel’s ranch in Texas, where along with wedding designer, David Tutera, will be filming a series of short videos.

They run our smoke detectors, electric razors, power drills, mp3 players, thermostats -- and the list goes on.
