To infinity and beyond!

To Infinity and beyond... that's a Toy Story reference for those of you who might not know. It was my daughter Lydia's favorite movie while she was in the hospital. Don't forget Toy Story 3D is in theaters June 18th!

14 days until we leave on what should be the biggest solo undertaking of my career to date! A good friend of mine is blogging about a year of firsts so in a way that might have been what inspired me or I'm just crazy. Being in tv for so long it's probably a little of both. We seem to think we can do anything when we put our minds to it. Which isn't so bad is it?

Does anyone know of a nice moderately priced hotel in Chicago near the Sears Tower? I have to book a room for the 7th/8th of June. Some good news, I have access to the Sears Tower (renamed Willis Tower) Skydeck on the 8th to shoot aerials of Chicago. A coup for a small company, I think.

Any way, this week is filled with booking, buying, and blogging (not really blogging all week but I needed another B lol) My next blog will be next week. I'll up date the final progress before we leave. I'll attempt to blog and tweet daily on the road from the 8th until we return in July. Oh, yea, I have to set up the twitter account this week too.

I want your feed back! Let me know what you think about the blog. If you have ideas, technical assistance, or just encouragement that would be great! You are my friends, co-workers, family. You are who inspire me to do this everyday. (and besides, I've told too many people so I can't back out now lol) But seriously, you're my peeps! I want to hear from you. Since leaving, I miss chatting with all of my friends and colleagues at the station. And my family and non-work friends, thank you for your continued support in life! I love you man!!

Have a great week!!!
