Where I am at today...

So I am fresh back from vacation and getting
back into the swing of things around here.

Two weeks back in California couldn't have gone any better.

After a long 5 months of covering high school football, working endless hours, a well-deserved vaca is just what I needed.

It's kind of funny, I recall way back when I first started my gig here in Abilene... Sports Director, David Robinett said to me, "Dapper, Football Season is a whole lot of hard work."
Me being me, I thought, yeah, but it can't be that hard??

Boy was I wrong. During my school days I worked 3 jobs (as a grocery manager, a personal trainer, and an AP for the Sports Dept. at KTVU) and took about 17 units a semester and got it all done and still managed to have a life. So I figured it couldn't be that bad. Football season here in the Big Country is more hard dedicated work than I could have ever imagined.

Ha ha. Difference now, my job is fun! So the long hours, well they do take a toll on you, but are WELL worth the time you put in. Most of All, the work is fun. Who wouldn't want to cover sports on a daily basis?

So in December my time off finally came. I headed home to SF for some quality time with the family and friends.

My goal of the trip... to enjoy every minute and take it all in.

Things I missed the most? (not in any specific order) Fantastic Sushi, World's Best Seafood, the ocean, bars/clubs that are open past 1am, the hustle and bustle of the city life, traffic(I know, weird), public transportation, my favorite dance radio station 92.7, sitting around with family and friends and doing absolutely nothing! That is just to name a few...

Although, I would love to spill all the juicy details of my 2 wonderful weeks in California - lets just say I am keeping that private :)

But, I will tell you I had a LOT of fun.

It was hard to come back, but my life is here for now and my goal is to make the best of it in the work that I produce.

So Beware Big Country... Dapper's back!
