Here We Go Again

It always makes my day when I hear from one of my favorite news anchors and today Nina Radetich responded to one of my emails. She wrote:

Ham:

Glad you’re able to support Kendall’s race… it’ll mean a lot to him.  Feel free to beat me as much and as often as you’d like… I’m all about the experience.  That’s a victory for me.  The marathon was a great experience… I’m thinking the 5K won’t feel as good considering I haven’t run in ages!

 Nina's referring to the Feb. 4 Make a Wish 5k. This has been a pretty good week so far. I also heard from my other KVBC anchor/girlfriend Kerstin Lindquist. I hope the two don't compare emails from me. Kerstin wrote:

Hey Ham... (so funny, i was just writing you back when you emailed me....)

It is almost time for the 11 and I haven't collapsed yet.  I've probably had little too much Taurine (sugar free red bulls) but whatever works.  They even tried to get me to anchor tomorrow morning as well!!!  The crazy thing is I am almost insane enough that I would do it.  Oh yes, my skiing skills are extraordinary aren't they? :)  That is the first and last time you will ever see me skiing on the air, you can count on that. Go to bed, it is late, late late I cant believe people stay up this late?

I think I should go work for KVBC. I already know most of the anchors. And how's this for a coincidence? On Sunday night, the sports guy callsand asks what our Super Bowl line is and after I told him Steelers minus 4, I asked him to say hi to Kerstin, which he did and she said it was "sweet." It pays to be connected.

Well, I'm back on the abstinence kick again. I don't know for how long but it seems to work better overall with the running and blood sugar numbers so here we go again. Goodbye red wine. Hello Nina & Kerstin.

On the day you were born, you begin to die. Do not waste a single moment more.
