Well, let's see. No one died, and
Public TV 13 still has its license. Based on that, I'm guessing the
show was a success.
A mere six days after being asked to
host it for the first time ever I had my debut on “Ask The Lawyers”
last night. And while I've spent those six days jokingly wondering
if the world would survive, I knew things would go okay. After all,
it's only (live) TV, and the fact that I had never been the host of
the show (or even watched it before) was a mere bump in the road. I
mean, I have no appreciable skills in the world other than, perhaps,
the ability to talk, and apparently that was all I needed to
successfully host the show.
Now, onto the next challenge!
At least this hasn't been a boring
week, has it? I mean, between the circus Monday, the shock of John
Kivela's death Tuesday, a History Center thing I attended Wednesday,
and the live TV show last night, I haven't been home much recently.
That's one of the things to which I'm looking forward this
weekend—just being home. But, in a strange way, I also appreciate
weeks like this one (minus, perhaps, the shock of John's death). I
don't know if I could just wake up, go to work, and then go home,
day in and day out. I mean, sure—after a week like this, that
seems like a really attractive prospect. A REALLY attractive
prospect. But I also realize that I'm an incredibly lucky person in
that I have all of these amazing opportunities presented to me. I
mean, how many people get to go behind the scenes of a circus AND
host a TV show all in the same week?
Not many. And that's why I know I'm an
incredibly lucky person, even if weeks like these can be a
bit...overwhelming at times.
But now that it's over, I get to sit
back and relax a little. Not too much, because I'll be going to pay
my respects to John's family tomorrow, and then celebrating Mother's
Day with two of my favorite moms (my own mother & sister) on
Sunday. But at least I'll get an hour or two to breathe, and
sometimes, that's the most important thing.
On that note, YOU have yourself a great
weekend. And if you can, make sure you celebrate Mom's day with all
of YOUR favorite mothers!
