I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you’re sticking to your New Year’s resolutions! I resolve to stay on track with my workouts and weight training, be more resourceful with the planet and my pocketbook in mind, and to explore more places in my hometown (okay, maybe that’s not a resolution, but a fun goal. Does that count?)
My holidays were spent with family and friends. A highlight came on December 29th while co-hosting the Big Bay Balloon Parade with Dennis Morgigno for the 11th year… live on Channel 4 and then aired nationally. The Grand Marshal of the parade was Kermit the Frog. He came up to the set above Harbor Drive and was on with us for 45 minutes helping us do “play by play” about the floats and bands. I’ve interviewed a lot of famous and talented people, but Kermit is on one of the “most thrilling moments of my career” list! It’s hard to describe, but our green iconic friend is just as personable and down to earth as he appears. Celebrity has not gotten the best of him. I asked if he had found the Rainbow Connection… the lovers, the dreamers, and him. He answered that he’s found part of it right here in San Diego. I would agree. (By the way, if you just want to put a smile on your face, go to You Tube or iTunes and listen to Kermit or Frank Sinatra singing “Rainbow Connection.” )
Despite a lot of changes with the Padres, I am still excited about the new baseball season. In advance of spring training, shoots are in the works with some of the new, young guys we’ll all be watching and profiling One on One. More on that later.
I just wanted to touch base and thank you all for watching, for your feedback on the shows this fall and winter and to offer a little wish as you seek your Rainbow Connection:
May you find satisfaction in your work, peace in your heart,
and may 2009 be sublime.
