THE CHANGE OF PACE
After weighing in on a couple of heavy topics this week
the WEEKENDER :) arrives to bring cheer and something you may never have seen.
I NEVER DID THIS
I will acknowledge that as a news anchor we did, sometimes, amuse ourselves (us and the studio and control room crews) during breaks. But in all of the clowning-we thought of it as stress relief-we never got this elaborate. This is kind of fun, though you may never look at a news anchor the same again.
CALL THIS "THE ANCHOR DANCE"

DAY BOOK
CHEERY BLOOMS
The orchid cactus is an heir of Lana's grandmother and her mother. It was one of the plants she refused to leave behind when we moved west.
We've tried before, but this is the first year the
"Bird of Paradise" has bloomed.
Lana has done a wonderful job in creating a beautiful garden where once it was just a hill and ice plant. I'll provide an update in a future post.
Enjoy the weekend.
See you down the trail.
Congrats to Lana for bringing that orchid miracle to light... California light. Maybe that is the answer several here in INdy were seeking for their leftover blooms. But they can't be cut, right? -w-
ReplyDeleteBTW, The blooming of the race cars starts tomorrow at the INdpls 500 track. The season has begun. The race is SUN May 27. So, you can have a piece of home. -w-
Those WGN-ers had to have rehearsed that bit for hours! Amazing! And tell Lana "great work" with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteYes, how long does it take to memorize all those moves? I love bird of paradises. I feel like I'm on vacation whenever I see one.
ReplyDeleteIn my short-lived broadcasting career I witnessed many episodes of what one calls stress relief. Of all the ones I have witnessed and even partook in, this one tops them all. I am sure this was not developed in a week or even two weeks. This was great showmanship....
