Bud and Touchdown Jesus

After my first day on the job at FOX 28 I went straigt home (well my home for now), picked up the dog and headed to ND's campus.



I'm not sure dogs are allowed -- I got a few looks -- and I didn't see any others on our walk.  The campus is just as beautiful as ever.  Such a beautiful place.

I thought I'd share a quick pic of Buddy and Touchdown Jesus.

Tomorrow will be my first day on the air during FOX 28 News at Ten with Traci Capellman.  I'm fired up and ready to go!

A New Start

When I accepted the position at FOX 28, WSJV ... I knew the 30 days would fly by.  THEY DID!  So here I am... typing at my new desk, at a new station, surrounded by new people.  They've all been very welcoming so far... and I'm told it's not just an act!

I took this quick iPhone picture so I could update my Twitter and Facebook profiles.  That makes me think of a sign posted outside a church that I saw on my way to work today.  It went something like this, "Technology: We can Tweet, post on Facebook and text... but man, do we have trouble communicating!"

My Journey Home

Change.  It's exhilarating, stressful and scary all at the same time. 

I started my journey from Memphis back to the Midwest Tuesday. 

I took a wrong turn and added an hour to my trip, but got to see the St. Louis Arch as a result.

I've spent the week at my family's house in the Chicago Burbs.  Mom and dad are loving Buddy.  Mom has spent some time trying to convince me to let him stay for awhile.  Sorry ma' ... he goes where I go!!  Right now he's this man's best friend.



Spent Friday with my sister Alison in Chicago.  She's such a city girl.  I'm so proud.  She led me through the city, from one train to another.  She had me do my best "Blue Steel" at the Damen Station. We made our way from her apartment in Bucktown to Michigan Avenue Downtown.  We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory... love that place.. don't care if it's a tourist spot!
