Anthony Diaz

I can't even imagine what this man is going through now and will go through for the rest of his life. Anthony Diaz is the only survivor in the recent Lyman Avenue house fire that claimed the lives of three children and one woman. It's very hard to stand in a hospital room and listen to what this poor man went through, realizing he just lost everything he has, physically and emotionally. It really puts things into perspective as far as the things we should be more thankful for and how we shouldn't take anything for granted.

Here is the raw video from today's interview with Lissa and I. It runs a little over 23 minutes.

Visiting Old Friends

On Monday, I was invited to speak at an event hosted by UTTV. UTTV is a branch of The University Of Toledo's Communications Department. I wanted to bring some friends along to help describe the business so I brought Sashem Brey and Tony Geftos. The three of us talked about our experiences and answered questions from the students. I graduated from UT in 2001 and was also a member of UTTV. I learned so much while I was in school there and it felt good to come back and discuss how my college experiences better prepared me for what I'm doing now. Thanks again to Tom Osswald, Don Reiber, and David Davis for inviting us.

Here is a brief snippet from the "Nightly Newsreel."

PS - I swear I'll start posting more. Even if it's no big deal. Any post is better than no post, right?

Cougar Sighting In Toledo

I know, I'm in big trouble now. It seems like I haven't posted since Perfect Strangers was popular. Balki would be mad at me. Anywho, on Friday, John Mellencamp had a concert here in Toledo but before that, he came downtown to visit with some of Toledo's homeless. He invited everyone down at Tent City to come to his concert, free of charge. Carty was down there too and he presented John with a key to the city.
