Well, I’m officially over the flu or whatever it was that laid me low Tuesday night and Wednesday morning- which meant that I signed on the station today. . . arriving not long after 5 am in order to be fully prepared to go on the air at 6 with a thorough local/state newscast. I
Yesterday was an incredibly strange day. It started out just fine with a good morning at WGTD (I signed on) - and then a fun visit from a Carthage science class called “Good Vibrations.” But as I was driving home just before noon, I started to feel a little queasy - and I hoped it
Sounds like the title of a book, doesn’t it? Maybe the latest installment in the Hardy Boys series. Or perhaps some tepid animated “classic” that goes straight to video. Twice within the last nine days, Kathy and I have returned in the afternoon to find the sight pictured above- a snow-plowed or snowblower-blown driveway. The
There’s just no way to be cheerful about taking down one’s Christmas tree. It’s the last full confirmation that Christmas is really over and the somber season of Lent is just around the corner. It was especially sad this year to take the tree down because it was brand new tree for us- and after
Our home is graced this morning with the presence of our niece, Lorelai- and as much fun as it is for me to play with her, I think I even more enjoy just sitting on the other side of the room and eavesdropping on Lorelai and her Aunt Kathy. They find an endless array of
Okay, I’ve calmed down- tirade over. I may be a college professor and a radio announcer, but I still love TV even if I hate quite a lot of what’s on TV right now. I guess what makes me go a bit ballistic about this is the fact that TV has the potential to be
Warning: Verbose Ranting and Raving Ahead. Proceed with Caution. If there is anything that drives me absolutely crazy right now, it’s the preponderance of reality television shows and game shows on television . . . the vast majority of which make me want to barf. (Excuse my language.) Maybe by ranting in this blog entry,
I just realized that I have blogged fairly frequently this month with scarcely a mention about my primary January responsibility. . . co-directing a production of “The Pirates of Penzance” with Corinne Ness at Carthage. Actually, I feel a little funny using that “co” prefix when in fact Corinne has done so much more for
My brother-in-law Mark is amazing in many ways- but especially in his facility with all matters electronic and technological. Nobody else in my immediate circle can touch him when it comes to understanding the latest whiz-bang breakthrough in technology and especially his grasp of what this stuff can mean to our daily lives. . .
Saturday night about 8:45, Kathy and I paid a quick visit to Dick’s Sporting Goods, looking for an air mattress for Kathy’s dad plus warm winter gloves for me. (Apparently, my wife was less than enthusiastic about her husband running around wearing two right gloves. She’s so picky, sometimes.) It was actually kind of a
