Maybe it is really spring?

The weekend looked like this:

Well here. You sit inside and look at everyone else’s photographs and wonder how it could be beautiful in every other locale. Surely that’s not possible. Everywhere in the country?

Everywhere in the country. Except here, where the state color is gray. (The colors are actually blue and gold, like the flag. But that’s only because there was a run on charcoal gray dye when Paul Hadley designed the thing in 1917. Had to be.)

It was pretty today, finally:

A picture perfect postcard day, indeed:

This is the show that wrapped on Friday. It got a bit sappy and silly, but that’s OK. It is the last episode of the award-winning Bloomington Breakfast Club for the year.

Bring on the weekend!


The morning show got a little maudlin today, but they wrapped up in style.

Shows we shot last night:

And now we go into a spring-themed weekend. I’m going to sand wood, ride my bike and look at the flowers. How about you?

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

We’re getting down to the year’s last studio sessions

Today’s color scheme is blue.

These awesome cufflinks were a gift from my awesome mother, who once spent a day following me in her car on a bike course and helped me, with Christmas money, buy one of my bikes. And now I want to go for a ride.

Tonight, though, the sadness begins. We’re winding down the semester, which means change is inevitable. Michael Dugan has hosted this talk show for two years, a steady voice that has given us great topics, cool updates to the segments and, like every good host, always has about 14 more topics than necessary at the ready.

He’s passing over the show to Drew Frey, who has been running audio for the sports shows for more than a year. He started out doing social media segments when we had extra time in the studio and took those opportunities to boost his delivery and tighten up his writing. If he grows into this show like he’s grown into everything else, it’ll be great.

It’s a fun time of year. Seeing the graduating students move on, reflecting on their great promise and watching people step into new roles.

What they shot tonight should be online tomorrow. For now, though, you can see some of the latest shows:

Trying out new neckwear

A little more of the springtime atmosphere:

Just a few quick snapshots from the walk into the office:

It’s only a one-block walk:

I thought I’d sport a new look today:

If we had a family crest the crab would be on it somewhere, I’m sure. Since we don’t, I’ll just go with accessories.

An experiment

With the days getting blessedly longer, I can actually see more and more daylight. This evening I even left the studio in time to see a bit of the sunset.

So there I was, standing on the top level of the parking deck, looking off to the west thinking, what would this look like in black and white?

I should probably keep this one in mind, don’t you think?
