Why? This morning I got an e-mail from my producers at the Gridiron Report to the freshmen on the crew telling us all to be safe with Cortaca this weekend, and how to handle the craziness. My favorite part was when they referenced our crazy audio tech: "If you are going to think about doing something stupid, ask yourself, 'would Foster do this?' And if the answer is yes, THEN DON'T DO IT!"
Priceless. I love that they care.
Last night at our Sports Section meeting, it was pretty much just a love-fest about what an awesome job we did these past two weeks. We did so well! We produced 13 pages of sports material in the issue, because we had the winter sports preview. I had two articles. It was so exciting. I got a break this weekend, and since Thanksgiving break is coming up, I won't have to worry about a feature for a while now. I've got a meet write-up Saturday, but then I'm free!
Yesterday I also had to help with a field segment for the Inquirer. We went and interviewed a plumber...one that also happened to be the deputy Mayor of Trumansburg, about what he felt about Joe the Plumbers and the fate of plumbers in an Obama administration. It was excellent.
Today, I realized that in all the business of the past two and a half weeks, I had not done laundry. This morning, I did the biggest laundry load in the history of my college career. Granted, that's not very lengthy of a time, but I do put off laundry a lot.
I know you care.
FRIDAY
Seriously, THANK GOD.
