Transition

...
Another week has flown by... training on some new equipment this week, getting ready for our switch over to HD very soon. It's a much more complicated process than one could ever imagine!

Not only cameras, lighting, switching equipment, we have a special "Make up" lady coming in to help us get ready for the ultra clarity HD will offer.

Then, it's my understanding that likely, more than half of our viewers, do NOT have HD yet. So you have to be careful with what you produce in HD, that it doesn't look horrendous on non-HD sets.

Our actual weather is about to take great leaps forward. Sunshine, dry, warmer. Opposite of what we've BEEN dealing with. In Memphis, Feb 2010 goes in the record book at number 11 all time coldest. Jackson, TN and JOnesboro made it up to #3 all time coldest Februaries.

No tornados, anywhere, in the month of February. That hasn't happened in more than 60 years. No complaints, just hope Mother Nature isn't "saving up."

Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, you just can't go wrong with KC and the Sunshine band. The music, and the performance. Caught him recently at the casino, and the dude is like 100 years old and is just "owning the stage." Lot of fun that night. My "Pandora" account has just spit out a "double play" of KC. First it was "Get down tonight" and now "Keep it coming love." Songs we sang as kids without inhibition, I'd be scared today if my kids asked me what was going on with these songs. I'll be most amused if Pandora goes for the "hat trick" and drops "that's the way, i like it."

Harry Wayne "K.C." Casey (born January 31, 1951) is from Florida, Miami area. If I remember correctly they were at Disney World for my "Grad Night." Oh, memories.

My mind has been in Florida a lot lately, my daughter Lauren has not been feeling well, and after several doctors visits, the problem may have finally been found. But the answer may be surgery, which is never easy on patient or parents. A quick trip to the sunshine state may be in the future... here's hoping that this is the solution to a long period of pain.
