A lot of news at once

Work up in Illinois is going well. My first schedule is over already. Time is flying by! I reported and anchored three days a week. With this new schedule I report only one day a week but have a little more free time to work on other things. I still produce twice a week and I even anchor on those days. This past weekend was a fun experience. The rare Titan Arum flower bloomed here at EIU. This flower blooms once every 6 or so years...and when it opens up out comes the "delicious" smell of rotten eggs, sewage, and road kill. I got some great video and one man banded a nice package. I was fairly happy with it.

While I am up here I decided to not waste my time. Instead of watching excessive TV, I got a library card for the Charleston Library and have read A Reporter's Life by Walter Cronkite. Upon finishing that, I got This Just In by Bob Schieffer. I like reading these books.

In an interesting note, I was invited to attend the Elon University Senior Staff Retreat. That's when President Lambert and all of the big wigs go to Pinehurst with SGA executives and a few students. I would be representing the media. Should be fairly interesting.
