30 seconds down on my fifteen minutes of fame...

Was on teevee tonight, Channel 4 6pm news, interviewed by Maya Rodriguez (did I get that right? didn't get a card) as a spokespersonman for the Voice of the Wetlands, voicing my opinion on the FedpondGov short changing Louisiana; Tab was on a rare vacation with his family and out of pocket, so I pulled the short straw; arranged to meet them under the twin span on the hospital side where Bayou Terrebonne intersects the Intracoastal (or is it the other way around...the Bayou was there first) right across from the Coroner's office d/b/a the Morgue; turned out to be an appropriate spot, as tugs and barges passing provided for some good cutaway shots, and I was able to reference the Morgue across the street in answering a question about Terrebonne's vulnerability to a storm surge; as I was waiting in line for a prescription pick up at Walgreen's at 5:55 and didn't get home until 6:08, of course they led with my story and I walked in as it signed off; damn, I even hurried home to change shirts (from a white knit to a blue button down) before the interview, as I certainly didn't start today dressing for success, as this was the Day Before Vacation, when everything that has been procrastinated for 48 weeks gets done, efficiently checked off a list that appears once a year;

VOW Fest 2008 heating up...know for sure Channel 4 will be there!
