Tough Times....

Holy Cow!...When it rains, it pours....My Dad went down on his back last Sunday.  As it turns out, he slipped a disc in his back, and the disc is chipped. OUCH! He's in pain right now, so keep him in your prayers...He should have surgery this week, and I'll keep everyone up to date...

I have a prospect on the car front, and it may be very do-able....Here's hoping!!!!!

Oh ya...and work.....Covering the Junior National Championship of golf...they're having it in Ardmore....Any hi-lite that you see on the Golf Channel is what my boss and I shot....I'll be following Cheyenne Woods (Tigers Niece), and Bob Tway's son....Should be pretty good, though our cameras down't have the best depth, and it's hard as hell to find an approaching golf ball in out viewfinders.....Anyhoo, Since I'm bumming rides now, I got one waiting.....

I'll update on Dad soon!

Vulnerability= In FULL Effect!!!

I think my "Little Truck That Could" now "Can't"... It looks like I've cracked a head....Luckily, it's a 4-cylinder truck, and it'll be easier to fix (he said hopefully)...

I'm Baaaa-aaack!

I've been so negligent with my new toy.... I actually tried to log on last night, but had trouble getting through...They must have figured out that I work in media or something.....bastages...

It's going to be an easy week for me, as it was a stressful one last week...I'm off Tues-Thurs...You get used to covering things that don't usually get covered when it's only baseball season, and the high schools are out for the summer, and last week, I covered a tractor pull, a rodeo, and a few summer camps...(basketball)....After working the 4th, I get an extra day off, so maybe I'll vacuum twice or something....

I anchored Sat-today, and I'm pooped...But as I wallow in self-pity, I do realize that I'm not digging ditches...Really...

I was thinking about trying to get an hour show on the Durant AM sports station...It's a small one, but they simulcast Fox Sports Radio most of the time....I'd like to do it on Saturday mornings, but beggars can't be choosers... I hope they'd like the idea of an hour of local programming Saturday mornings, but they don't know me, so we'll see if I can make it a go....I'd eventually like to do both, and It's probably a good idea to stay sharp with it....

I promise not to deprive all 3 of you of these witty scribbles in the future...But thing will pick up closer to football....OH! by the way...

the Associated Press reported last night that one of our area blue-chips commited to Iowa....Well, his Dad called me, and said that he'd not commited....Turns out, a Des Moines paper saw on a fansite that he had commited, and reported it from that....The A-P picks it up, and all hell breaks loose.....there will be a big story on it in tomorrow's Sherman paper by Jason Della Rosa. He and I collaborated on it, and kept in contact through the night once someone got a call. It should be pretty good, as Jason can have as much of a flare of sarcasm in his writing as I do in mine...(no, really)....Find it here under "sports"....(http://www.herald-democrat.com)


Hope the 4th was good for you all!!!!
