Hello everyone.  Since I'm not a technological genius, I'm feeling quite good about the fact that this is my first blog - and that I even know what one is - truth be told, I did have to ask someone.   I'd like to start off by giving you all a huge thank you.  We appreciate you watching and supporting all of us here at ABC 4.  I choose to work here because I appreciate everything ABC 4 stands for.  We have the community's best interests in mind and we sincerely care about the things you care about.  My colleagues are among the best and the brightest.  I admire and respect each of them and am honored to call them my friends. 

As some of you know, along with my reporting duties, I am one of the hosts of the Emmy Award winning Good Things Utah.  Don't tell my boss that I really shouldn't get paid for doing something that is so much fun.  It is the best job I've ever had or could dream of having.  I am very grateful for this opportunity.

Tuesday on the show we welcome little Kaleb Tracy.  He is two-years-old and has been playing with his dad's band, Interstate I, since he was 3-months old.  He plays the drums and sort of mimics the guitar.  He also sings all the songs - well at least the last few words of each line.  On top of that he's absolutely adorable.  He is a You-Tube phenomenon, receiving thousands of hits on that web site. 

I have to admit, it was hard to control my laughter because during the segment, little Kaleb threw one of those famous two-year-old tantrums.  His dad, Jim and I tried everything to calm him down, but to no avail.  We ended up trying to yell over him.  And that's what makes live television so wonderful.  Jim was fantastic and kept his cool and composure the whole time.  I just wanted to throw my arms around that little boy and thank him for reminding me that I am not the only parent who has to deal with little boy tantrums.  So thanks Kaleb and Jim and all the band members of Interstate I for the great time today.  You can watch our GTU segment and the news story that Erika Edberg did later.
