Yes, I'm Still Alive
So my pledge to update daily about three weeks ago didn't really pan out. That was primarily because that's when I knew for sure the show would be moving from 1550am back to 1300am in the morning and that I would not be a part of the move (tear).
To all of the Ed Buggs Show's loyal listeners who have asked where I am, thank you very much for your thoughts and kind e-mails and calls. Here's a brief explanation: While working with Ed on the afternoon show, I also held a morning job writing for a national news wire and anchoring radio newscasts for another station in Baton Rouge. When Ed decided to move the show to mornings, I obviously had a conflict. While I love both jobs, I had to make a decision that I felt was best for me and would allow me the greatest opportunity. I chose to stay on with my other job.
I really do miss the action of a live daily news talk broadcast. It had become a part of my life for the last three years. There aren't many certainties in life, but I knew where I would be everyday at 2 p.m. and that you would be there listening. There is a certain level of comfort that goes along with that. Anyway, I will continue writing this blog no matter what and if Ed chooses to keep a link to it on his website, that is great too!
Quickly to catch you up on my training for the New York City Marathon: The race is Nov. 5 and I am up to 11 miles. I am still about a week ahead of schedule with my training. Saturday morning I will be running a half-marathon at the LSU lakes (13.1 miles)!!! Get excited! If you want to come stand along the course and hand me Powerade and sweat towels, that would be fabulous! I won't hold my breath, though.
Last weekend I went to Atlanta to visit my brother. I left Thursday morning after work and stayed through Sunday. He is teaching at Holy Spirit Prep, which I relate to the school from the TV show "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" where the kids wear coats to school with the school crest on the pocket. REALLY upscale. I also got to visit a few of the hang-out places and even played a round of golf (Random Note: I shot my best round ever at 103! I know that is awful, but I have only been playing for a few months and have been seeing real improvement).
As for work, my job search for a full-time gig in a bigger market continues. I will keep you posted. Just keep praying for me, and drop me a line if you ever feel like it.
Peace!
