Back Among the Bloggers

This blog has been dead, dead, dead for two months...because I've been busy, busy, busy.

Sad there's not enough time in the day to just write all the time.

But that's actually, indirectly, what I'm now doing.

Two days after my last post, I started a new full-time job with the local FOX TV affiliate. So now I'm on a computer all day there instead of doing my own writing at home. But it's a kick and I'm not complainin'. To be back working directly in media--means I have to be careful what I now blog about.

They're a great group of people at this FOX station, and I'm gonna like it there. Do so far.

There's been the Olympics starting (I don't work for an NBC affiliate, so I have no/can't have any opinion there theoretically, though it is amazing to see a 41-year-old swimmer do so well!)

And the Democratic National Convention will soon be here, just an hour to the north up I-25. Speaking of Interstate 25, do I really want to maneuver my way around Denver--now that Mr. O has caused the powers-that-be to close the main artery through the city? Who does he think he is!? The President?

In 1992-1993, I worked for World Youth Day '93, coordinating logistics with all kinds of government agencies for the event that had 250,000 people from around the world traipsing through the Mile High City. On foot and in cars. Pope John Paul II never asked to have the interstate closed for him!

I guess Obama feels he's of higher authority than...well...the pope..? 'Nough said.

So back among the bloggers means I'd better be more regular with this--if anyone's going to pay attention.

Maybe my new media credentials will help me get an inside scoop that I can post here! Check back soon, ya' hear?
