Meeting Deborah Cox

Deborah Cox, who is an R&B singing star as well as with the traveling company that performed in "The Bodyguard" musical production, was a guest I booked on the TV show.

She was kind enough to let me stand near her to pose for a photo.

Announcing at Family Fiesta

My radio career is now years behind me, but once in a while I get sucked back in (sort of).

I was asked to do some announcements on stage at Family Fiesta recently, an event put on by local non-profit organization Casa De Los Ninos at Tucson's Reid Park.

I didn't feel very well that day. I think I was having some kind of allergy attack. But, I showed up anyway and filled in for a co-worker whose father had passed away and she had to go to the funeral in Wisconsin.

I was there for a few hours and made it through. Seems like I've done this kind of thing before.
