And another discussing student films.
And then I hosted this conversation.
We had a full room for the Emmy-award winning director and Murrow-award winning producer. We talked about skillsets, they told media war stories, discussed hard days, good days, and how to do all the things you want to do in those broadcast internships and first jobs. They were, of course, terrific. I wish you’d been there to hear it.

A full and exciting day to wrap an incredibly full week
Studio this morning. Two shows were shot, one included an interview with a tarot card reader.

While that was going on technology was breaking in the TV studio. Good thing we have backup cameras! There was an event to shoot and stream tonight, celebrating five exceptional alumni. And that was to be streamed — on Zoom?
On Zoom.
Zoom?
Yep. Three branded platforms to choose from, and that important program highlighting prestigious graduates was put on Zoom.
So there’s no feed to show you, unfortunately. Perhaps the recorded version will be uploaded somewhere eventually. (I’m an optimist, and team long-tail.)
Anyway, it was about 7 p.m. before I left campus. An 11-hour day today, and five of the last six days have been late days for me. I’m … tired.
The daily duds: Pictures of clothes I put here to, hopefully, help avoid embarrassing scheme repeats.
But I looked good! Old Calvin Klein shirt and a cheap Apt. 9 tie (hey, it has some heft and a great texture). It was Friday, so a casual dark blue suit.
I was also sporting mespoke cufflinks, which I made earlier this year.

Watch these
Got home late today, but in time for the last walk of the day. You might recall that my lovely bride had a surgery last week. Last Thursday she was limping inside after our trip to the Cleveland Clinic for the procedure, a rare surgery involving muscles in the leg compressing one of the arteries. Every day since she’s been doing the in-home stretches and taking three walks a day, each getting a bit longer. She was also on campus Tuesday and today. Last week was on crutches.
The three-time Ironman’s proper physical therapy and rehab begins next week.
The television shows the television students produced last night are online now. And here they are. This is the sports highlight show.
And here’s the talk show, where they spent the evening focusing on the NBA and the WNBA.
And so it was after 8 p.m. that I left campus last night. A long day, a late night. And there’s another early morning and long night tomorrow. You’ll understand, then, that I’m cutting this short.
