I’m enjoying my Sunday with some indie rock/pop/electronica on KSPC. This weekend, we started covering our bare white walls with posters from Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. We also started hanging up pictures from our wedding day. I get all warm and fuzzy inside watching this space transform more into our home.

I called my dad about my first experience using the live chopper for a breaking news segment this morning. It was a crazy time.

So, [...]

It felt amazing to go home last weekend. It’s been almost year since I hopped on 57 East and drove across the country to my new gig in Kansas. Over the last year, I’ve visited San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland and Vegas….but last weekend was the first time in almost a year since I’ve stepped foot [...]

We spent a day in Berkeley. Mark had to be in the east bay because he was on call for work…thankfully, he didn’t have to work.
