Seriously...I want to hear from you! We are kicking off a new era of Interactive webcasting Thursday morning at nine a.m. Central time.
This is your opportunity to ask me questions about Good Morning Memphis, FOX13, Ernie, Darcy and the gang...and more.
Here's how it works: Create your own blog on our website by going to the "Community" page and registering. It is free.
Then, Thursday morning at nine all you have to do is go to the "Good Morning Memphis" page and click on the Live Webcast box and follow the prompts.
I am really looking forward to hearing from you!
See you in the morning!
Val

Thanks Shannon! We love the Wild Beast stories, too. I am glad you like to hear them as much as we like to tell these crazy stories.

Hi PaGirlatHeart!
Believe me...it is REAL. Especially at 3:30 am. I am glad you are blogging with us. You wouldn't believe how real Leon is....Our video editor, Troy, says we are just like the Real World...without all the making out.

Good Morning to you. Is that a Starbucks you are drinking?

I wish!... I'm a rock star today... rock star energy drink, that is... it was the biggest jolt of caffeine the office vending machines could offer

Okay...what is your favorite waker-upper in the morning? My preference would be an x-tra hot, non-fat, Venti Latte.
Yours?

Rock Star...hmm, I like the name.

I do have a question-- why does Tom Dees no longer do his hmmmm.. (looking for right term here)....promo spots? Is he only doing trafffic now? Just curious.

Are you going to the Smokin'Joe-Mayor Willie fight tonight?
Anybody? Do ya care?
I'm going. I think it is fun and raises money for a great cause (Drug Court) but I know some people think it's frivolous. Let me know...

To tell you the truth about the fight - I hope that Herenton gets KNOCKED OUT - I am glad that he is actually doing something for a good cause around here. He is the reason that I DON"T live in Memphis.

Hi PaGirl,
(see me consulting with our Executive Producer to my left)
Here's the deal...people want to hear about traffic, weather and news. We also want to be entertained. This way he can do both. Tom and his crack Photographer Derric still deliver
fun feature stories in our 8 o'clock hour. Stay tuned for those!
How do you like the Road Patrol Hummer?

ValerieCalhoun

Nov 30, 2006 | 9:17 AM

Butterfly....
I have heard a lot of people voice your feelings! Float like a butterfly...sting like a bee? Oh yeah, It was Ali who said that BEFORE he knocked out his opponents.
We'll see...how it works out. It is amusing though, don't you think?!

Ok - I really was just curious because he IS very entertaining. I actually did see the Hummer-- its pretty darn impressive !! bet that cost many a penny !!! How fun-- great way to promote i would guess.

I totally agree with you. I do want to say that I watch you guys every chance that I get. I got addicted to 13 when I was on maternity leave about the same that you went on yours. I do love the personalities and the news.

Plus the bargain Thursdays are the best when I catch them and not running around my house trying to get out the door - thanks

Several people have asked about Tom...we all enjoy his work so much.
And, frankly, I miss seeing him eat all that good food. He still does, just not
"live" every thirty minutes on the show.
Yeah, we are proud of the Road Patrol Hummer. And, most of us are still hoping to cruise around the city in it soon.

i personally am not going to the Herenton fight tonite, but it does sound like a fun nite. And Memphis (in my humble opinion) needs to realize this is a fund-raiser- thats all- NOT a real "prize" fight.But- I must admit it would be ok to see our illustrious Mayor take a couple of good hits. (Oops I said it!) Wish I could afford to go.

Good Morning Memphis wakes me up... But it is a stellar crew of news and production people that make this shift so much fun!
