I arrived in New Orleans at 9:30 last night after starting my road trip from Orlando at 10:30 a.m. I stopped in Tallahassee for lunch, Mobile to meet up with a few friends and refueled twice. It was a nice drive (other than a brief Monsoon on the Turnpike) with plenty of alone time to […]
My final morning newscast yesterday was going well until the last 10 minutes. That’s when it finally hit me. No more Sunrise. No more pre-pre-dawn coffee. No more behind-the-scenes goofing off with some of the best people I’ve ever worked with. More on my last day at WESH/first day at WDSU in the next few […]

The movers pack up Monday, load up Tuesday, […]
