A few thoughts to start with...

So after talking with a few people and beginning to explain my job and my travels, it became evident that I should probably keep some sort of journal as to where in the world I am and what exactly I'm doing. So here it goes to start with... I've finally got a few minutes to sit down and put some of my thoughts in order. Today Jim Nantz's book came out in which a great deal he talks about was during a span last year that he got to work Super Bowl XLI, the Final Four and then the Masters. While I don't have a book deal and I'm certainly not as well known, I too was there for that ride starting in a rain-soaked Miami for the Super Bowl. This is a rare off-week for me as our golf schedule keeps us pretty busy. But let me give you an idea where I've been recently. I just finished up five straight weeks on the road, starting in San Antonio, Texas at the Final Four. From there I got on a flight (just hours after the championship game ended) to Augusta, Georgia and The Masters. That was the start of the CBS Sports coverage of the PGA Tour this summer. We followed that up by a week on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina for the Verizon Heritage. Then on to Dallas, Texas for the EDS Byron Nelson and then off to Charlotte, North Carolina for the Wachovia Championship. Not bad for a little over a month span. In there were parties thrown at Ross Perot's Ranch hosted by Jim Nantz, a get-together hosted by Wachovia where James Taylor performed, dinner at David Feherty's house and numerous other events of which I am fortunate enough to have been able to attend. But this is my life. This is life on the road with CBS Sports. This is also my attempt to provide a glimpse into what I do and what its like to work in sports television. Whether its the fall and I'm working an NFL game, the winter and its College Basketball or the summer and I'm off on the PGA Tour, I'm always somewhere around the country. While hotels and airports get redundant, the most rewarding part of it all is that my work is enjoyed on a regular basis by millions of people around the world. So here it goes; here's my life on the road and where I am and what I'm doing...
