9/19/2008 - It's been a while. This weekend I filled in for Claire Kellett on the anchor desk. She was at a the JDRF Gala with Josh Baynes on Saturday. It's fun to get back there. I was the weekend anchor at KIMT Newschannel 3 for 3 years. I've been here for just more than a year now. I feel like anchoring was in a previous life.
I would like to say anchoring is just like riding a bicycle, but it's not. You get up there, the camera is on and you have to talk. More importantly, you have to say the right words, at the right time, with the right inflection. Bruce is great at this. But, he's done it day in and day out for decades. I've got 3 years under my belt. I like flying the desk, it's fun, it gives you a chance to really connect with the viewers. It also gives you a headache if you screw up. I screw up enough that I should own stock in Tylenol.
Okay, maybe I'm not that bad, or my boss wouldn't keep asking me to fill in.
And, yes, I wear makeup. There, I got that of my chest. I feel better now.

Justin, Congrats on your work at KCRG. I missed having you in the newsroom at KIMT. You were one of my best employees! I must say, it is a gas to watch you at KCRG now that I am running the newsroom at KWWL. You do good work and I am very proud of what you have accomplished in the past year. Let's rock and roll baby!
