“Right there, Uncle Jim. Alamo.”
“Where?”
“Turn left now and it’s right there next to National.”
So that’s what it’s come to. I’m led around New York City by an 8-year-old....
It’s 12:27pm Eastern time and 8-year-old Jack and I are hanging out at Gate D6 in LaGuardia Airport in Queens. We drove down Sunken Meadow Parkway from Ft. Salonga Road and then took the Northern State Parkway all the way to Grand Central Parkway and then got off at 94th St. I couldn’t see the sign for Alamo Rent-a-car but Jack could.
“Right there, Uncle Jim. Alamo.” “Where?” “Turn left now and it’s right there next to National.” So that’s what it’s come to. I’m led around New York City by an 8-year-old.... 5:51am Eastern time. My sister Ally’s house. Pebble Hill Drive, Northport, New York.
I don’t know what dogs dream about, but I’m guessing that whatever it is, it has something to do with sex. So I fall asleep at my sister’s house (as predicted) about 9pm Eastern time last night. That’s after a cross-country journey and then several kids climbing on my back for a few hours. And I happen to fall asleep in the living room where everyone’s coming and going and not necessarily watching TV but just comfortable that it’s on and it’s loud. After a while, evidently – I really don’t know because I have fallen into an exhaustion slumber that no doubt includes copious snoring – I hear some moaning. My first thought is it's me. Nah. And then... Alexis. Is Alexis here? It's 3:04 on a Thursday afternoon. And if you're a local morning radio guy or gal, then you know that this is pretty good sleepin' time. Wake up at 4am, read a little, shower, eat a bowl of cereal, watch the Channel 2 news... then go to work and talk for four hours.
Then do a little busywork like figure out who's gonna take your place on the air on Monday and back up your iPhoto collection and order a projector TV to show on the wall of the new studio... and pretty soon it's nap time. |
I run radio stations and a streaming video network in Hammond, Ind., and write this blog.
