4 days and counting...

I started my first day at "the new KSPR" today.
It was awesome!
I think a lot of people will like the changes that we're going to bring to the market. I'm not sure if I can talk about them yet, but we've set up some really cool agreements with other community leaders/magazines/professionals...

Anyway, the launch date is 9-9-07.
You'll see us on-air for the first time at 10pm.
Watch it or else!!

The station's got a lot of young, agressive reporters.
At the same time, we bring a lot of seasoned journalists to the table, too...starting with Joe and Christine...then behind the scenes with our news director, Brad Belote (formerly my executive producer at KY3) and Ron Davis...former print reporter, former editor of 417 magazine, the creator of the chatter blog, etc...

Anyway, aside from everything being new in my life, I went to the park during Labor Day.
It was, in a way, a first...
we rode our bikes to Aunt Martha's Pancake House,
ate,
and then took off for Nathaniel Greene Park.
When we got there, we played catch and fed the ducks.
We saw some weird looking ducks!

One tried to chase me, and it was scary.

Then, I almost killed Jim on the way back home because the bike ride no longer seemed like a good idea.

It was hot.

I had a headache.

It felt like we were 20 miles from home...and it was all uphill.

My head and my butt were really sore by the time we made it back to the Phelps Grove Park area, where we live...

and it wasn't pretty.
