My Trip

Hey!! Thank you for those of you who e-mailed me and asked me how my trip went! And, sorry if I gave you a short response. My week has been crazy! The trip, however, was exceptional. All of our flights were on time, and travel was smooooth. I did have a new experience of having them de-ice the plane. That was cool to see, the planes lined up as they sprayed them all down with the de-icing matter. I probably would have normally been a little nervous about that, but that morning in my prayer time, God spoke clearly to me saying "Fear Not." So anytime I felt a little anxious, I just thought of His words, and knew that to fear would be disobedient, so I "feared not!"

My co-worker and I had dinner Wednesday evening with the news director from Albequerque, NM, and the news director from New Haven, Conneticut...and let me tell you, news directors are "in the know". and I'm not being sarcastic, I'm being very serious. It's their job to know what's going on in the world, so that made for some very interesting conversation. During the evening, Kirk, the News director from New Haven, told us of some video that his photogs had shot that day of two Golden Retrievers (I think) that had fallen through the ice, and the rescue team that was saving them. He said you'll probably be seeing the story. When I got back to the hotel room, I turned on CNN's Headline News, and sure enough, there was the story. Don't know if any of you caught that story, but it's neat to think that one of our stations shot the video.

I met a really sweet girl on the flight home. Wendy, if you read this, send me an e-mail, I'm interested in knowing how your presentation went!

That's all for now, I'm calling it a night...more later. (oh yeah, and I made it through a nap today without Denny taking a picture!)

Traveling

How do I follow up that last post? I dunno. If you read Denny's blog, which you can click on in my side bar, you'll find out that it's obviously not safe to sleep in our house! :-) These blogs, yours and ours, have brought him great joy! He has a list of blogs that he reads every evening.

He'll be missing my flowery pajamas come Wednesday. Wednesday I leave early to fly to Providence, Rhode Island. I'll be traveling with a co-worker to our corporate office for some high powered meetings :-). We get home late Thursday night. This is not business as usual. This is actually the first time that I've been called to travel with my job. WTHI is owned by LIN TV Corp. Lin also owns approx. 30 or so other television stations throughout the U.S. For a list of stations that they own click here.

I believe there will be representatives from each station at this meeting, so it will be fun to meet new people. Please pray for safety while we travel. Both for us and our families, and pray that if we're called upon, we'll say something intelligent :-)

Hard at Work!

Hey Everyone,

It's Denny here, typing on Missy's blog. If you haven't read her previous post from this morning then do so first and then come back to this one. OK, you're back?. I wanted to show you what Missy's idea of cleaning the house and cooking for me looks like! Its about 2 hrs later after her last blog entry.

I snapped this little gem without her knowing!! HA HA!!

Ok, gotta go, before she see's what I'm doing. She's awake now.

Been nice knowing you all!

Denny :)

Saturdays

I LOVE Saturdays!! It's the only day of the week that we get to sleep in. I especially love them when we have nothing to do! That's our day today...no plans...woo hoo!

I'll probably do some house cleaning a little later, and I'm in the mood to cook...that doesn't happen very often! Normally, when Denny wants a home cooked meal, I take him to Cracker Barrel. :-) Okay, I'm exaggerating, I'm not really that bad.

My daughter is begging me to take her shopping, though she spent the day at work with me yesterday, and I had to go to JC Penneys to look for a piece of "carry on" luggage to take on a trip so she got to do a little clothes shopping then. She scares me how much she likes to shop!

We got up this morning and did our normal bacon and eggs Saturday breakfast. Our kids LOVE breakfast foods. We normally have breakfast for supper at least once a week!

Alright...I'm off...to do whatever I want!

Being Goofy...

When I started my blog, my friend, Cathy Wood, told me that my purpose for this blog was to make her famous…which I assured her that because of the stories I’ve told about her, she was already famous with my friends! Cathy and I have worked together for, well, too long! I have probably laughed more with her than any other friend I have, mostly because she’s hilarious, and we’re together every day.

At work, we each have a “cubicle”. Ya know what I’m talking about? Every person has their own space with dividers to separate us from one another. Well, on “our” side of the building, we decided that we’d rather be united than divided. So, Steve, Cathy, and I, took down the inside dividers so that you can just walk from one person’s space to another. Our office area has since become known as “The Condo”.

Today, Cathy laughed so hard that she was crying. Why? You ask? We decided that we would greet every person that came into the condo, in the same manner that you would greet your dog. Not treat them like a dog, but greet them like a dog, you know, the same voice that you use to talk to your dog? And in the same manner? Here’s an example in that puppy dog voice.. “Ahhh Jim, wuzsha doin? Are you havin’ a good day today??? You’re such a goooood boss.”
The funny thing is that no one really laughed about that, except Cathy and I…and we were rollin’!

As I think back over our friendship, I wish that we literally had “the best of Cathy and Missy” video clips. Like on the sitcoms when they sometimes flash back and show various funny moments from the show…that’s what sometimes runs through my mind is the various funny moments that Cathy and I have shared…ohhh to have captured those on video. :-) Priceless!
