What a crazy couple days I’m going to have/ have already had… I’m going to call it a media blitz.I landed in Connecticut (from Fort Lauderdale) at 8:45pm, grabbed some McDonalds (which Im mad at myself because I paid for it, forgetting that I got a gift card for Christmas) then headed straight to Channel 3. I did a recording there for “Sports Sunday”, and then went on to Fox 61. I was live on “Comcast Sports Desk” from 10:45 to 11:00 and yes I’m still talking pm. But wait, I’m not finished yet… We, meaning Bill Taveres (a self-proclaimed pessimist that I will change into an optimist) and I, lastly went to Channel 30 and went live on “Sunday Sports Replay” which finished at 11:40 pm. That was all for the night but only the beginning. I woke up at 7:12am (don’t ask me why I chose 7:12, because I will ask you why do you set your alarms by multiples of 5) because we had to be on set at “Fox Morning News” by 8am. I recorded a segment which only took a second, then onto Channel 3.

(Side note: I had signed in on the guest list for Channel 3 at 9:15pm on Sunday night, then signed back in at 9:15am on Monday morning… a lil strange right? Yeah I thought so too)

I then had to pleasure of being on “Better Connecticut” which was a great show. A group came and sang a song from the movie “Rent”, which as you should know, I absolutely love (and if you didn’t know, don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you). Also, a lady came in and cooked some ribs. All I have to say about that is…. yum yum in my tum. Oh my goodness, I almost forgot. The people from the lotto “Mega Millions” were on the show so they gave us all free tickets (the scratch and win ones). Well to make a long story short, I was given a ticket, but had it taken away because I was in the 2nd seat and the ticket was for the person sitting in the 1st seat (Don’t ask me why it mattered, because I still don’t get why the lotto tickets had to be handed in a certain order). Bill was given my precious ticket and I got a new one. Bill won $50 + and I won nothing. I was livid, but I think it helped with his pessimism so all is not lost. Then end (Thats all for my story time, now back to your regularly scheduled program).

Later today, (today is Monday, Feb 1st, 1:45 pm) I am going to be calling some season ticket holders, so maybe by the time a few of you read this, we will have spoken.

Tomorrow, I will be taping a segment on the show “Connecticut Style” in the morning and then returning to the Mohegan Sun for a “luncheon.” I’ll be acting as a reporter for a day also. That may get a little interesting. Once the luncheon is over, I hop on a plane and head back to Sunny, Beautiful, Hott Miami. I don’t mean to rub it in for everyone living in a colder climate…. Actually yes I do, because thats usually the case with me. (From WV, to CT, to MN, to Lithuania)

Welp, I hope you understand why I called these 2 1/2 days a media blitz, but to be completely honest, I cant complain about any of this. Who wouldn’t want to be wanted? (I bet a couple of you had to read that twice to get it, and if you had to read it more than twice, don’t tell anyone) Oh and let me add that whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, take a second to count your blessings. Until next time… Be blessed

P.S. One of the main reasons for the media blitz was to let everyone know that ticket packages are available on www.connecticutsun.com (the big game mini plan includes tickets to the all-star game for non-season ticket holders). I would be a dummy not to mention it now, plus I would like to have as many people in the stands as possible. See you May 15th. ; )
