For twenty-seven years I have been a reporter for Today on NBC, a job I wouldn’t have if it weren’t for an incredible series of events that were set in motion in 1969.
My wife and I went to our last parent’s weekend at Providence College. Brendan is a senior and will be graduating in May. He’s in a band called The Biltmores. They weren’t performing during our stay so Dan Baxter, Brendan and John Pitts entertained us in the basement of their off-campus apartment with an impromptu, unpracticed acoustic version of one of their new songs. It’s called Sadgrass.
It’s been a while since I updated this. Those parole officers aren’t very nice. Just kidding. It’s been busy. Here’s episode one from my Golden Globes Red Carpet Adventure. It’s also been posted on our family website www.campjinx.com
I was nominated for a Quill Award in the “Debut Author of the Year” category. It was a flashy event, held in New York City and I wasn’t the only one to feel out of place on the red carpet as seen on this recent Today show feature.
Get it right. It’s not that difficult. If you are going to make a movie about a hockey player - find an actor who can skate. If you’re going to focus on TV news - plug the damn camera in. (This also appeared on Camp Jinx, our family website)
