Home Sweet Louisiana
January 11th, 2010
As you’ve probably guessed, I’m snug as a bug in a rug in my big comfy queen size bed with a pillowtop mattress and my dog, Chevy.

The Way We Get By, Nov. 11 on PBS
November 10th, 2009
We’re almost home and I can guarantee you that when I step off the plane in Dallas or Atlanta, I’ll be greeted by old war veterans, offering a handshake and a thank you. They’re always there, rain or shine, and they put a big smile on my face. This Veteran’s Day, PBS will air “The Way We Get By” -
On call 24 hours a day for the past five years, a group of senior citizens has made history by greeting nearly 900,000 American troops at a tiny airport in Bangor, Maine. The Way We Get By is an intimate look at three of these greeters as they confront the universal losses that come with aging and rediscover their reason for living. Bill Knight, Jerry Mundy and Joan Gaudet find the strength to overcome their personal battles and transform their lives through service. This inspirational and surprising story shatters the stereotypes of today’s senior citizens as the greeters redefine the meaning of community.

Late Night
June 6th, 2009
I’m editing the newscast with SPC Angelo. He’s been working on the podcasts a lot lately, so I’ve got all the elements for the news on my computer. I cut him loose around 10 Thursday night, because there is no sense in keeping him here when it’s really a one-person job at this point. Read the rest of this entry »

Knowing God
April 21st, 2009
Craig and I are reading ‘Knowing God’ by J.I. Packer and it’s amazing. I’ve been able to read a lot since I’ve been sitting in Kuwait (I’m still here) and the two of us have really been able to share with each other which is great for communication and understanding. Read the rest of this entry »
