It has been one big story after the next.
The 16 days of the XXIX Olympiad kept everyone glued to their television screen! I could not get enough.
I had to stay up and watch the Men's basketball game for the gold LIVE.....which did not end until about 5am Sunday morning!
There is just something about the big story and being a part of it, even if it is thousands of miles away!
And barely a chance to take a breath, we are in the midst of the Democratic National Convention.
I've told you all before, I am not the biggest fan of politics but have to say, I am really looking forward to how this week unfolds.
Stay with Channel 3 News and wkyc.com as well as NBC and MSNBC for the latest developments of this huge week of news!
Glad to have Jim Donovan back, who had been off on a break for a while. What a talent. What a treat! Welcome back Jim!!!!

My head is spinning
This is a great time to be on the news assignment desk (if you like multi-tasking and working hard!!!)...
I've told you before, never a dull moment and always busy!
But now, there is so much happening, my head is spinning--in a good way!
We are fortunate to have the 2008 Beijing Olympics on NBC through August 24th. We are only 3 days in and have seen some extraordinary competition! It's just riveting! The schedules for some of our staff have been changed to accomodate our late newscast. That's always a crap shoot. If a reporter comes in later to stay later, they may miss the 'meat' of their story or they may miss the 'window of opportunity' for obtaining an interview.
We are in the midst of Cleveland Browns season. Every day we have to send at least 1 crew out to Browns Camp for their practice sessions...and more if we are actually going live for our broadcasts.
I know many of you have given up on the Cleveland Indians. I have not. And we still have almost 2 months of baseball left to play. The Indians are home for about a week and a half which makes for an even busier news assignment desk and hectic sports department!
If that was not enough, we are less than 2 weeks away from Friday Night Fever. We also have our new project kicking off in conjunction with Friday Night Fever: HighSchoolSports.net. Find your favorite high school team and get the latest updates!
I have not even mentioned getting ready for all the politics over the coming months and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. We have been and are very involved with the race....as well as the day in and day out news coverage to give our viewer the top news of the day!
What can I say, never a dull moment and that is the way I LIKE IT!
