Yesterday I was a guest on the local Channel 9 morning news show. I represented Global Volunteers (GV) and spoke about my experiences in Poland. This all begins with the media director at GV asking if one will do this. Then the date is scheduled. I was requested to send some electronic pictures and also be there by 7:45 AM. That is a difficult request for a non-morning person, particularly when I have to drive to the studio on one of the most congested freeways in the Twin Cities. On Tuesday the host moderator called me and we spoke a bit on the phone.
I got there in plenty of time and was shown to the Green Room. Well, it's not green and didn't even have a drink of water! There was a TV in the room obviously and the first thing I saw was one of my photos at the 8 AM promotion. Hey! my pictures look OK on TV. A bit later the floor director came to the Green Room and got me hooked up with a microphone. Then finally they took me to the studio.
This studio is a very large warehouse type room. The "set" was in the middle of this huge room. I was escorted to a set of bar-type chairs. Soon the host joined me and we were off to the races. I think it was OK. I didn't stumble over my words too much. My daugher, watching at her home, said I looked tired, but probably others wouldn't notice it. Well being tired is what goes with a 60 hour work week.
