One big happy family


The only way I can describe today: warm and fuzzy.


We are at work, doing our jobs, but there is a 'blanket' of love covering the entire room today on many levels.


My previous post spoke of producer Amanda's baby shower.



A bit of sadness falls over the building as we say goodbye to a good friend and long time fellow employee.

General Sales Manager, Tom Humpage, departs Channel 3 for greener pastures after 6 years as he moves on to the position of GM at another market.



Tom's expertise--amazing! His kinship with staffers will be missed. He was always there for you if you needed him, when you needed him, always had a smile on his face. One of the snappiest dressers I've ever seen, bar none! The world would be a much better place if everyone took Tom's lead.



If that is not enough, cameraman Mark Smilor went out to profile a community garden in Lake County and came back with bags of fresh produce. I told you, the newsroom never lacks for food of any kind. Took me back to the olden days when we all had gardens at Harvey Rice and lived off the land.


The gods must be smiling on us today because we received an added BONUS --a visit from our favorite PR friend, Mike Rogers. Mike popped in to drop off his delectable tray of pastries as he spreads the word on the Cuyahoga County Fair and continuing season of the Goodtime III.




I've said it before and I'll say it again. A newsroom never lacks camaraderie, affinity, extended family friendships, and F-O-O-D!!!!!!!! MMMMM!
