Now Airborne!

SILVER SPRING, MD -- This past Wednesday, I took off into the wild blue
yonder for the very first time ever. Now I know what you are thinking, why
so late to fly in life? Well, that's because there was never a need to fly
before I started working for TrafficPulse.

So sometime before 6:30am this past Wednesday, I took off over the friendly
skies over Washington and did not lose one bit of lunch in the process.
Plus the fact that I made a vow not to eat anything on the days I will be
flying.

We flew over the Beltway, 66 and the Dulles Toll Road. It was absolutely
breathtaking the sites that I saw, nevermind the fact that we were at FedEx
field within five minutes of take off. I also got a sky-eye view of my old
schools Buck Lodge Middle School and High Point High School (class of 99,
what). BTW looking down at High Point, did not do justice on how steep that
hill down to the baseball field really is.

It was definately an enjoyable time in the air and I will more than likely
be doing it more often.

BTW, I go up again this Monday Afternoon, and I hear it is a bumpier ride.

Hi Medhurst!

What a week!

SILVER SPRING, MD -- Well another week has come to an end and what a week it was. First and foremost, Swing Out Sister will be here in a little over a month (pondering on which date to go to.) Radio presence is getting better and I start school in a little less than two weeks from now on the 23rd.

Tomorrow, I will be doing a bee line from the station over to the college. Especiwally since this week is going to be 10% off. If I had known how Student Loans had worked, I would have finished school by now.

This weekend I will be filling in for Greg tomorrow morning (Saturday) and then on Sunday, I'll be on the air after Orioles Baseball. BTW, who would ever thought that they would be swinging it like they are this year. The O's are doing good, the Nats are doing good...and the one year I boycott the Wizards because of Abe Polin, it looks like they are about to sweep the Bulls out of the first round playoffs.

John Lennon was right...Instant Karma's gonna get me!

9 is now easy on the eye

This week, our CBS station WUSA-9 debuted their new set that is suppose to emphasize that they are now broadcasting in HD. Keep in mind, that I used to watch Channel 9 on a regular basis growing up, but ever since they started messing with what was once a solid product, I was one of many that made the exodus to elsewhere.

Even though I do not have an HD set and will be far from getting one, the video quality has took a major upgrade. That was the other thing, before this past Monday, 9's video quality has been crap for about the past six years or so and that was in standard def. Channel 4, great video quality which has something to do that they were always owned by NBC. Channel 7, well that video quality improved during the late 90s. 5, good video quality but not great, the same case as Channel 7.

But when that new set debut on 9 this past Monday, Gannett actually broke the bank (spent money). That set is easliy the best looking news set in DC. Their newscast is still to be desired (I'm sorry I was always a Gordon Peterson and Maureen Bunyan person) but at least watching that messy product is now a lot nicer to look at and more attractive.

This week on the radio.

I will be in for one more Saturday Morning this week on WNAV. If you have
been listening for the past month, you all know that Greg had took sometime
off. Well, he needed one more Saturday. The good news is that I get to
practice some more anchoring. I'll have a full posting of what to expect
this weekend real soon.
