Summer Trip

Trying to get ready for our summer trip was driving me….

But we finally changed our work and school day stripes and hit the road.

 At times on our summer trip it seemed like we traveled to a galaxy far far away.

By now I figure you’ve realized without having to read tea leaves where we visited on […]

Happy Birthday Harley Davidson

Here’s a link to a story about Harley Davidson motorcycles that I did with 106.5 The Zone’s Murphy in the Morning! Kind of fun for a chuckle. Especially if you want to see me in total “fish out of water” mode. We did the story because the Harley brand is celebrating its 105th Birthday this […]

By-Product of Shift Work

Anyone who reads this probably knows I’m a morning news anchor. As a morning news anchor the question I get more than any other is “what time do you get up?” The answer: 2:45 a.m. Early call, true, but not too different than my neighbor who works first shift at Jeep.
I have many positive things to […]

Three Cats

Meet Wink, Maggie and Grace. These three pretty kitties belong to someone you know at 13ABC Action News. Any guesses? And it’s not me or Vickie.

George’s Gracious Greeting

From: Regnier, Rebecca
To: Stephanopoulos, George

Modern Day Mary Richards

Many times people ask me about careers in television news. My job as an anchor is just one of dozens of television news jobs. Every single person at my station is vital to putting together a newscast. I thought I’d introduce you to some of those people. This might be especially helpful for the high schoolers with an interest in a career in television.

Snow Storm in Bedford

 
By Friday morning the 13ABC Storm Team had warned us that Saturday night to Sunday evening was going to be a doozy. Doozy isn’t the meteorological term  they used but doozy is what we got here in Bedford. By noon Friday 13ABC had a plan in place for our storm coverage. I requested a location in Bedford.  […]

Guess the T.V. Icon

One highlight for this blonde is occasionally getting to meet celebrities. To me this guy is a giant. I LOVED his character and show. I interviewed him a while back. He was doing a speaking engagement on behalf of raising awareness for MS.  So have you guessed?  His real name is David Lander.  Yeah, that’s […]

A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

Sometimes, along with a news release about an event, we’ll get a little promotional item at the station. I got to work the other day and this package was on my desk. The people from Spamalot sent me….

…this lovely bunch of coconuts. Spamalot is playing at the Stranahan beginning Tuesday. If you’ve seen Monty Python’s Holy […]
