Sorry I haven’t been blogging much lately. It’s been a combination of not much time plus not much to write about. But in any case I have enough time to write “Happy Birthday, Dee.”

After catching up with a long lost college friend a few weeks ago, I called up another long lost college friend last night. Mike Harding (a.k.a. “Flintstone”) was my fraternity pledge brother in ’91 and an usher at my wedding in ’97 (when I still lived in New York). It’s now been almost four years [...]

It’s been more than a week since my last post. There’s been plenty to blog about but I just haven’t had the time, so I’ll give a brief recap. Darah is doing fine, as are Patty and Maegan too. Every three hours she wakes up hungry, cries until she’s fed, gets her diaper changed, wants [...]

I’m not going to retroactively blog about everything that I missed but I will say congratulations to Janet Ochs and her husband Chris. Last week their second child, Amanda, [...]

Guy Moran, known to everybody as “Bugsy”, was mountain biking in California and got separated from his group. Although we never attended college at the same time, Bugsy was the reason I became a brother of Alpha [...]

Last week a former colleague returned to the station for a visit. This week the trend continued with another blast from the past. Mr. Eric Gross (on the left in this photo) was in for some corporate training from our sister-stations in Oakland. Eric was our station’s graphic artist when I first began in ’98 [...]

I had lunch today at The Penguin with a good friend I used to work with. I worked with Kraig Koelsch from 1998 to 2004, when he worked for the original GoCarolinas.com (which used to be a few offices down the hall from me) and then for wsoctv.com (just downstairs). After a few years with [...]

Patty and Dee had been best friends since high school. Although Patty went to college far away from Dee, they remained close through college too. Then for no particular reason they simply lost touch after college. Years later Patty tracked down Dee by telephone. Since they last saw each other, Patty and Dee had both [...]
