It was a year ago...April 28 to be exact...that I started my blogging activity here on thekansascitychannel.com. "Blogging activity" sounds like something the Department of Homeland Security would be looking at, warily, or a condition you would have to consult your family physician about or something you are warned of on the side of a tube of ointment: "This product may result in unwanted blogging activity. If so, and the affected area turns into a magenta silhouette of Geraldo, consult your doctor immediately." But, for better or worse...who am I kidding...for worse and worsester, I've been writing these things for 365 days.

Originally, I tried to write something every week day that I worked. Soon, it became clear that I should only inflict this stuff on an innocent interweb public three or four times a week. Also, when the great and powerful Web-Master, approached me about doing this, she suggested using it as a way to tell folks where I have been and where I'll be going. I have actually done that every now and then...for example, today I am going to Muncie Elementary in Leavenworth. This will be the third time in the month of April that I've visited the lovely and historic town of Leavenworth. Is somebody just trying to get me ready for a more permanent form of residency up there?

So, here we go into year two of this stuff. My kids better start doing more cute, funny and/or annoying things and my childhood memories need to be rebooted or I don't think I can go past June. Anyway, thanks to all of you who take some time, now and then, to read this stuff. Thank you for the kind e-mails, too. By the way, it may be the start of only year two of these e-pistles but it is the beginning of my 20th year at Channel 9. Now, that's a frightening fact...especially for management around here!
