Memories of Michael June 26, 2009

Ok, so I know I have not blogged in quite some time.  But the recent passing of Pop Icon Michael Jackson has really gotten me thinking.  And I thought I would share. I, as many of you, was shocked to learn of his death.  And I, being my typical critical self, could not have cared [...]

The World’s Greatest Pizza August 13, 2008

Of course I’m talking about Pepe’s!  I like to consider myself a pizza aficionado.  I’ve tried it all.  And since I could chew solid food, Frank Pepe Pizzaria on Wooster Street in New Haven has been the best of the best for me. In this business, we get a lot of new people that come [...]

Neil Doesn’t Disappoint August 9, 2008

What a great concert!  Neil Diamond is such an entertainer.  For 2 hours, without interruption, he had people of all ages on their feet.  He is a classic!  The only bad part of the evening, when I went to take a picture of me and Rich before going in, I realized I left the camera [...]

Neil Diamond in Connecticut August 6, 2008

This may be a shock to many, but I, Jamie Calli Mascia, 27 years old, am a huge Neil Diamond fan.  My husband Rich, 29, is an even bigger fan than I.  He actually got me into his music when we started dating, 10 years ago.  Tomorrow we get to see him in concert at [...]

My TV Debut July 28, 2008

If you watched Better CT today, you may have seen me!  I’m addicted to this website, called babysteals.com.  It offers one baby item a day, for a ridiculously low price, while supplies last.  I thought it would be a great idea to tell other moms about it, so I asked the producer of Better if [...]

Staycations July 16, 2008

With gas prices going up every day, why not stay in Connecticut this summer?  There are so many great things to do in our state, and now there is an even bigger incentive to stay close to home.  Many state attractions are offering discounts to Connecticut residents.  Just go to www.ctvisit.com for a list.  There [...]

A Life Cut Short May 23, 2008

As much as I hate to bring it up, I feel there is an something I need to address, my world, touched by the news world. My brother-in-law was murdered.  Not when he was my brother-in-law.  In fact, this brutal crime happened a few months before my husband and I met, in 1998.  I have just come [...]

Can I please take a nap? May 6, 2008

  As I write to you, I am working on the most sleep I’ve had in weeks… 6 whole hours.  Ok, so maybe I dozed for a little longer, but you get my drift.  My son, for whatever reason, has decided that he doesn’t like to sleep alone in his crib, so he wakes up [...]

The best days at work…. April 7, 2008

are the days when your baby comes to visit!!! My husband was kind enough to bring my son, Marcello, for a visit to the station last week.  It’s always nice to have a little break in the day, especially when you get to see that cute little face.  I made use of our lactation room [...]

Confessions of a Working Mom March 31, 2008

Ok, so maybe the title is a bit dramatic, but then again, so am I.  Let me introduce myself.  My name is Jamie Calli Mascia.  I’m a producer here at Channel 3, and I’m also a new mom.  I was born and raised in the wonderful city of Waterbury, and yes, it is wonderful, despite [...]
