News and Talk

It's tough being a talk show host and not being able to talk about some of the biggest stories of the year! We are "dark" this week due to an HD conversion in our studios, so we are missing talking with you about Governor Sanford, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

It reminds me of another time at FamilyNet when Scott JuVette and I were doing news back in Texas. It was during the Christmas break and everyone--I mean everyone--took off two weeks around the holidays of Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year's. Then the tsunami hit Asia. And we had no way to update the evergreen newscasts we had produced for the vacation period. It was frustrating not to be able to provide the latest and most-up-to-date news for people who watched FamilyNet Television.

Although I don't anticipate these long breaks ever happening again... you never know. Despite the inability to talk, it sure has been nice to sleep a little later and jog in the cool of the morning. But that Atlanta traffic... now I know what everyone has been fussing about!

See you Monday in real life!
