Ok first, let me just say I get the "bad friend award" for not blogging in more than two months. I'm owning it! Although this is my first time back in a bit, this blog may be short and sweet. Let me cut right to the chase about where I've been. The reason I haven't been on here is because "the Leckenator" has been using any and every free minute to get out and enjoy the summer. It's been a blast so far! The minute I get out of work, I hit the gym and then head outside. I usually find myself infront of a grill preparing a big boy meal to feast upon. I guess that kind of defeats the whole gym purpose, but hey...maybe it'll all even out. In any case, I hope your summer has rocked as well.
As you have seen over the past two months, yours truly has found himself in a variety of places during the morning show. From festivals to fairs, I've been all jacked up on Java doing whatever it took to have fun on the job and let you in on some community happenings. With that being said, any and all fundraiser ideas and festivals happening where you live...please fly me an email to Ryan@wnep.com. I can't make any promises for coverage, but I'll do my best to at least write back to let you know what can and can't be done to promote the event.
Alrighty....let's talk about today's picture and how Joe Snedeker let my morning energy secret out of the bag. In addition to just being nutty enough at 2a.m., the rest of my "ready to rock-n-roll" before the sunrise attitude can be blamed on the dirt cheap, sugar-free Hulk Hogan Energy drink. Like most addicts, I have a dealer. He's WNEP-TV Photographer Dave Jones. He's my partner in crime in the morning and ironically is the same guy who panics when I have too much coffee...yet he keeps providing the caffeinated beverages. It's like he's the man who goes to the zoo... sees that sign that says "Don't Feed the Bears" and then tosses a pot of honey into the cage. So when I'm wound for sound and he's like "calm down, you're bouncing off the walls," I simply turn and say "Not my problem." It's like feeding a baby a bottle. You know the end result could make a mess.
Ok, that's all for now. Happy Thursday! Have a great weekend if I don't catch you before hand and I'll do my best not to let too much time pass before another update. -RL-
