What a cool time we had at the Breakfast Express at the Carnegie Science Center December 9th! We had a great breakfast… before heading into the Omnimax. I got the chance to read the Polar Express to everyone…and then we got to watch the Polar [...]

Mother Daughter Tea December 17, 2006

I had a great time last weekend at the Mother-Daughter Tea. The History Center hosted the event and it was so special to see so many mothers and their daughters together learning about the importance women have made in history. We went behinds the scenes of the [...]

Santa at my house December 15, 2006

Santa just drove by my house!
He had quite a getup.
He was on the back of a huge truck. Driving in front of Santa’s truck was a small firetruck escorting him with its lights on. A bright spotlight was shining on him. Check [...]

Control Room Pix December 13, 2006

And here is my last picture of behind the scenes of Bundle Up. Producer Connie Stewart (who’s been on my blog before) and Director Bob Watt again in the control room trying to make sure everything gets on the air. They worked non-stop [...]

Director Bob Watt December 13, 2006

A few more pictures for you to enjoy.
This is Bob Watt. He’s a wonderful director who always does a great job. He’s our most experienced director and things at WTAE wouldn’t be the same without him. His job everyday is to make sure everything is in place for the newscast and he is in [...]

More behind the scenes of Bundle Up December 13, 2006

Here are Dan and Sally and on the left is Tom Scholl, a great director. Tom has a wonderful and dry sense of humor. He doesn’t say much during the show because he’s a perfectionist. And, let’s face it, keeping the anchors in line isn’t easy. But when he does say [...]

Bundle Up December 12, 2006

Thank you for donating to Project Bundle up! We had a great time Friday night at the telethon and Western Pennsylvania came through in a wonderful way. Here is a couple of behind the scenes shots of the telethon. Here is Sally getting ready to go live. The guy on the left [...]

Fallingwater December 9, 2006

I have so much to write about: Project Bundle Up, The Breakfast Express at the Carnegie Science Center, and the Mother-Daughter Tea at the History Center. All of them were great events and I took pictures which I’ll share soon.
But for now, I wanted to put this up on my blog. Nothing much [...]

Many of you ask about our makeup. Several months out of the year we have a wonderful makeup artist come to the station and help us look better than we deserve. This is Cheryl Haus, the creative force behind our faces. I like to use Mac [...]

North Pole News December 7, 2006

Breaking news from the North Pole: Some of you who read this blog called in and wrote in to tell Santa that all he had to do is go to nfl.com and get whatever jersey you want … even if the Steelers don’t offer it. So Santa won’t disappoint an eight year old [...]

Alternative to Reed December 6, 2006

Hey, here’s an alternative to the Jeff Reed away jersey that my son wants for Christmas I haven’t been able to find. Some guy is selling this on eBay. Can you imagine? Zach was planning on wearing the *away* jersey to school. (He already wears the Reed home jersey a lot). [...]

eBay Christmas December 6, 2006

First let me say that Santa is a little panicked over my kids’ Christmas list. Zach wants an autographed Sidney Crosby jersey and an *away* jersey from Steelers kicker Jeff Reed.
Santa found out that they don’t make away Reed jerseys… so Santa is pretty much stuck. Zach is not worried a bit… because [...]

Nemacolin Light Up Night December 1, 2006

Hi. I’m finally back. My computer has been down for more than a week. Something about my logic board. I finally got it back today…. and have spent the better part of the night returning long overdue emails.
I did want to share one really cool [...]
