Sorry about the lack of posting I was just getting some rest in. It was one roller coaster of a week at the Big Raggedy. As someone famous once said...
On Wednesday, the Nubian Princess and I had to go to the Free State of Livingston for a follow up to a story she did earlier. She introduced us to little Mia of Denham Springs. Besides the upcoming gifts from Santa, the big draw for Mia's attention were some inflatable Disney characters that lined the front yard. During the night someone decided to help themselves to the lovable characters. And to make things worse they also cut some of the cords to the yard lights. Fortunately some good people saw the first report and were able to help out in more ways than one. I'll let the NP fill ya'll in on a little funny side story that happened while we were there.
Thursday rolls around and it was quite interesting. It's starts at 7:30 in the morning. The neighbors next door wake me with some screams of excitement. As I open the blinds the only thing on my mind was if the rain had stopped and it did. Too bad there was some white blanket on the ground. Snow. Snow in south Louisiana. Too everyone else the thoughts of snow angels and snowball fights were in their heads. To those who work in TV, it was going to be a long day. With XRAY TED in his pj's drinking hot coco it was up to the rest of the lens jockeys to go and find good television. My quest took me back to the Free State to find a rare sighting of the Livingston Polar Bears. Truly an amazing sight to behold.
Friday and Saturday arrive and the sports department sends up the Bat Signal. It's the High School Football State Championships and the season finale of Sportsline. Two of the local teams made it the title games that means extended coverage. So Erin and I headed to the Big Easy to get the Cinderella team practicing for the game. It's sad that they ran into a storm the next day. After practice and some live shots it was time to get the second team in action. Too bad it was the late game and it never starts on time. However they pulled off another championship run ending a long exhausting season.
What a week. Lots of emotion from a gauntlet of people. Time to rest while I can Monday is right around the corner.

funny side note 1 - mia is not a fan of strangers, but marched right up to big rob, stretched out her arms and made BFF's with rob. mom & dad were suprised...but i informed them, it's probably cause he looks like shrek - since mia's a disney genius, she knew a celebrity was in the house.
side note 2 - by the time we left, dad had given big rob a new name "Uncle Shrek"
That Polar Bear story looked like either you or TP shot it. Nice work. Good surprise. You didn't take a dip, did you?
No Senator. The water was very very cold, did you know????
