Videos From My Distant Past

Years ago, back at the old place, I used to plant a garden and do occasional science and technology reports. I won a few Emmys for the sci/tech pieces.

As time went on I was discouraged from doing them.

If you enjoy my garden and sci/tech packages on FoxCT that last sentence is probably a head scratcher. I never understood either. Does one ever understand the boss?

This morning I got an email from Larry Fitzgerald. At one time he was Channel 8’s production editor, working in (what was at the time) a very sophisticated edit suite. Nowadays he’s the guy who puts together many of the special features you see during the major awards shows (among other things).

From the archaeological dig site that is my garage, this has been unearthed. (That the tape was even playable is a small miracle.)

Enjoy.

A Quick Video Peek At My Garden

I took a quick stroll out to the garden tonight. Here’s a 90 second video peek.

The Garden Is In

The garden is in! Though we’ll wait until Thursday to show it on-the-air everything is in place.

Want to know a secret? I hardly did any of the work! Mary, Keith and Sean from Robert Treat Farm took over. Why not? They know what they doing. They came with a schematic showing what would be planted where. They even brought the plants!

I did do enough work to get dirty so I took a shower before going on at 4:00. I now have my own locker down in the washroom used by the newspaper’s production employees. Holy crap, we have freshly laundered bath towels in the building!

This place is just so different for me.
