365 and a Wakeup

I have been reading the blog of a soldier in Iraq who has been providing security for an election site. He has some great stories posted which make you feel like you are there with him. Check it out at 365 and a Wakeup

TGIF

I'm glad it's Friday even though this week went by really fast. I stayed pretty busy which always makes my days fly by.

I have a new respect for those of you who write interesting daily blogs. Recently I have felt like writing this blog is more of a chore than anything. One reason could be because writing doesn't come easy and I'm not a very good at it either.

Have a good weekend! I be back on Monday.

Ft. Campbell

I'm starting to get a feel for my beat area. I've been covering the 101st Airborne in Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. Since I'm new to the beat I've been trying to make contacts and meet people in the area. Tomorrow is a big day on post! The 4th BCT (brigade combat team) is becoming the 506th which was made popular from the book Band of Brothers. The book was about Easy Company of the 506th infantry. The soldiers feel it is a big honor and responsibility to take on. The 506th has produced a lot of heroes in the past. I'm looking forward to being there for the ceremony.

Very Fast

I'm back at work after a week of vacation which like most seemed to go by in fast forward! It hardly seems like I was gone at all. We went to Disneyland with the family which included a niece and nephew's first trip to see Mickey Mouse. The pictures show Raven all smiles riding the Grizzly Rapids in California Adventure and Odin hamming it up with his favorite Aunt during dinner.

Back at work today, I spent my morning setting up stories for this week and catching up with contacts and such. This afternoon I put on my live truck operator hat and ran a truck for the 4:30 and 6pm newscast.

I would've like to had more time off but I'm glad to be back to work.

Here is a picture of me and Michael Rosenblum in the news room. The picture was made before he headed to KRON.
I'm officially on vacation and heading to Disneyland. I will try to do a post or two from the road.
