This will have to be rather short. Okay, quit the cheering. The FirstNews team is taking a field trip this morning to visit the new KMBC building which we will move into sometime later this year. At least that is what they are telling me. I'm a little leery. My family moved six times when I was growing up...but I kept finding them. My wife packed me a sack lunch with my name on it so Gish won't try to steal it like he did the last time we all took a field trip to the zoo.

We are in the process of cleaning out the downtown building. One morning I saw a big chunk of the old Jellybeans set in the dumpster. That was the kids' show I used to host. It was like seeing an old friend on the skids. Since much of the new station will use the new technology that means a lot of our old-fashioned video tapes could end up in the garbage, as well. So far, I've saved some of the after*words shows and a few of those Jellybeans programs. They will now sit in our basement until my kids and grandkids have to deal with them.

More tomorrow about the new building and the move. The bus is leaving and I don't want to sit next to Johnny Rowlands because he always makes weird noises then blames me when the driver looks back at us! By the way, if you don't hear from me again, please send a search crew to the new building. I hear they maybe laying one of the cornerstones this morning and ever since I saw that movie Robin & The Seven Hoods, that makes me nervous.
