Heck, I barely believe half of the things that have happened to me, and I was there for most of them!

At the rate my life has been going, my autobiography is going to have to be released as fiction. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Got email from Simon & Schuster that my new book debuted at #7 nationwide this week on the SF booklist. That's four national bestsellers in a row. I'm pretty stoked.

@MidnightRider I kept hoping for an ALF and Harry & The Hendersons crossover episode, but alas, it was never to be.

It's weird to be up and working on air but not doing my regular morning show. This is going to take some getting used to.

I recently heard a commercial that said "9 out of 10 forest fires are caused by humans." Which made me think to myself, "There's a bear out there who knows how to use matches."

And just to note: I've been doing traffic for local TV and radio stations for years. Along with all the other broadcast stuff I do. So this isn't new for me. ๐Ÿ˜

I am a bit of a workaholic...

And in honor of the day, I decided to have some apple piโ€ฆ

Does this look like the face of a traffic reporter? Because thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m doing the morning. So much for getting to sleep in like a normal person. ๐Ÿ˜†


So this afternoon, I was the subject of an intervention. My close friends gathered to inform me that my cheesy jokes were becoming a real problem. They said the intervention was for my own gouda, that I was cheddar than this, and that I was in danger of becoming a muenster who would probably die provolone.

My wife really hates shopping with me. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Sometimes I like to go to the hardware store and run around with a screwdriver shouting, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a drill!"

@bfgreen I'm also working as a traffic reporter for our two remaining stations and one of the local TV stations. I'm like a broadcasting cockroach -- I'm hard to get rid of. ๐Ÿ˜

@MelissaHDavis I enjoy doing the other stuff I do with the company, especially The Pulse, which I've been running for nearly 15 years (and was a writer for the previous 5 before taking over).

@bfgreen It was. The station was sold, though I'm still working for the parent company.

@LlamaMountainStudioArts I'll still be running The Pulse, our local arts & entertainment website (which I've been involved with for 20 years), as well as working as a traffic reporter for our remaining stations and the local CBS affiliate.
