New threads, new palmarés

I’m trying out a new look. What do you think?

Proudly wearing my new socks, which my friend, the thoughtful Dr. Ann Pegoraro sent me. (I just sent her socks, too, so that’s our thing now.) These are Baie d’Hudson socks, and they are fancy.

I doubt there’s ever been that much color between my shoes and slacks.

The sports crew is goofing off in the studio for my amusement:

And then getting down to business:

We had to record some extra promos tonight, since a bunch of our news people, have recently been nominated for awards from the Society of Professional Journalists. Michael Dugan did the promos, bragging on Andrew Lamparski’s general news nomination for a story about prescription drug abuse and Meredith Struewing’s feature news nomination for a local circus school. They’re both sophomores, so we’re going to get plenty more stories from them in the next few years.

But who’s counting?

Long day. Full of day things, and then evening things. Thankfully, Griffin and Meredith were riding the sports desk tonight:

Meredith is awesome and does it all, and she pulled double duty on the talk show.

She also anchored the news Tuesday night. Told ya, she is awesome:

Here’s another show they produced Tuesday night, Meredith was probably working in the control room somewhere:

They shot several more shows tonight, they’ll be online tomorrow and through the weekend.

And so, at 8 p.m. tonight, I got to go home. It was 9:15 p.m. Monday, 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. Wednesday and tomorrow, promptly, at 5 p.m. on Friday. I’ve literally done this all day!

I’ve got style, for sure

Put this little number together today in the pre-dawn hours. This came together pretty nicely.

Oh, go read this book. I finished it this weekend and forgot to bring it up in a more timely fashion. Don’t let that dissuade you: it’s an incredible tale.

You can find it here. The author, Adam Makos, writes in the preface about how he came to the story, how he tracked down the American pilot who said, No, you have to talk to this other man. He’s the star in my story. This would be the German fighter pilot, and that’s the way the story is told. And when you read it, you know what, he was right.

More on Instagram and check me out on Twitter as well.

Happy Pi Day

Ask a nice person out for pie. Date ’em for four-plus years. Get married. Eat pie every Friday for more than a decade. It works every time.

This one was a homemade apple pie. It was delicious.

A tale best told in gifs


All day long with this stuff:
