Previewing WDSU’s Fat Tuesday Coverage
WDSU has a huge production planned for Fat Tuesday. It all begins at 4:30 a.m. with Randi Rousseau, Jay Galle’ and Rose Flores on WDSU News This Morning. Norman Robinson, Mardi Gras Guide Arthur Hardy and I pick up the coverage at 7 a.m. from the Hotel Intercontinental downtown. WDSU reporters will be stationed across the city to bring home every aspect of the climax of the Carnival season during the most extensive coverage in town.
We’ll be live on the air and online at WDSU.com until 3 p.m.
I’ll also be updating Facebook, Twitter and this website all day from our perch at Intercontinental.
Here’s a preview:

Half Marathon: Training, Fundraising Update
We’re now 21 days from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon and a very supportive Twitter/Facebook/website crowd has helped me raise $20,504. Since the goal was $20,000 and we shattered that, the focus will now be on $30,000.
Please continue to spread the word and help me raise EB awareness. I’m running in honor of Tripp Roth, the baby from Ponchatoula who recently lost his battle with EB. If you haven’t done so already, please take a moment to read his heart-wrenching story on his mom’s blog.
My training continues to go well. I ran 12 miles on Saturday, my longest run to date. For the week I ran 25.37 miles and averaged 10:08 minutes per mile. I’ve run 113.7 miles year-to-date.

[VIDEO] I-Team: 10-Time DWI Offender
This is my story that aired Sunday night. I spent about four months working on it.
A New Orleans businessman has been arrested 10 times for DWI and avoided prosecution for nearly 30 years. Things got really interesting once we started asking questions — he was arrested.

New Orleans Saints Chase Daniel, Courtney Roby, Junior Galette and Jed Collins tried to answer a few “easy” trivia questions about the city they play in…and it went downhill from there. This is must-see TV.
