MAC mania in Cleveland


So this will be short becasue I have spent WAY too much time in front of the computer today. I am at the MAC (Mid-American Conference, for those of you who don't live in the Midwest) Tournament in Cleveland, covering Western Michigan University for the paper. The reporter and I left Kalamazoo at 7 a.m., drove to Cleveland, (4 hours) then covered the women's game. This has become much more involved since last year, when all I did was shoot and send pictures on my laptop. This year, I am shooting still and also doing video. Today I sent 12 pictures to the paper and put together 2 different videos, and Graham, the reporter , has updated the WMU Broncos blog about 4 or 5 different times, in addition to writing stories for the paper. We went into Quicken Loans arena around 11:30 a.m., and didn't leave until almost 10 p.m. That's a whole day of my life, gone, whiled away in the basement of a sports arena. I am totally looking forward to tomorrow, because I get to sleep in on my fancy sleep number bed. Knowing me, though, I will probably wake up at 7.

i love all the posts in the last few days! my dad used to have an ice-boat when I was little and would go out all the time. I was always too afraid, so it was cool to see it from his perspective.

i can't send you warm weather, but we have sun and mountains which somehow makes the winter much more bearble!
