Hello all. My boss sent out this announcement Tuesday. He’s given me permission to post it here today.
To: WTVG Staff
From: Brian Trauring, News Director
It is with mixed emotions that I must inform you that Rebecca Regnier has decided to step down as co-anchor of 13abc Action News Good Morning.
Rebecca wishes to spend additional time devoted to […]

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 […]

The Lion King Meets the Chicken Tender King

The phrase is when “in Rome do like the Romans do” or something. Whatever the phrase the philosophy is how I try to enjoy vacation eating. If you’re at a seaside resort order the fish.  At the global fusion buffet order whatever that rice thing is.  I’m a grown up and I enjoy a little culinary adventure now […]

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 […]

Having Fun at Disney - (Eeyore Encourages Me to Ditch the Plan) - Part Two

So when last I left this blog I was about to ditch my kids in favor of a joyless shuffle through an itinerary that I’d planned from home three weeks before getting to The Magic Kingdom.
            Fortunately my parents offer of enjoying the park while I marched through it snapped me out of The Plan. […]

Career Day

I am speaking at Bedford Junior High School’s Career Day. I’ve done this event  for years because it’s so much fun to talk to the kids. They’re right on the cusp of high school and since they get to choose what careers they’d like to learn about they always participate in the discussion.
Each year I […]

According to the handwriting on the back of this photograph it was taken in July of 1944 somewhere in Toledo, Ohio. The beautiful young woman in the photograph is Mrs. Robert L. Gorrell and she is 23 years old. The apple cheeked baby is Robert L. Gorrell, Jr. or Bobby. He is 14 months old. […]

23 Days Until Spring

I took this last year in the front flower bed. It’s hard to remember on a day like today.

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.

One of These People is The Godfather of Soul

And one is not.
I challenge anyone with time to kill to guess the story behind this photo taken on February 1st, 1981.
P.S. I thank you for your patience with me on my infrequent posting. Both the kids are heavy into their extra-curricular stuff. After work I am the driver/concession-stand-worker/photographer/laundress and it would be wrong to blog […]
