Reading the book, one more time...

I did at one point in this entire process of writing No Girls Allowed: The Jock & Jill Mentality of Sports Broadcasting, actually enjoy reading my book. Now, it's time number 25...whew! Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic, informative and really entertaining read, it's just hard to re-live my life one more time. I thought the intensity of the struggle would maybe weaken, but each time I read the section on my time getting to do play by play of a game at Syracuse, I get frustrated, AGAIN! I sure hope women are being treated better around college sports radio and TV stations now. It was a long time ago, but each time I read it, argh! It's still strong. Or the time in Florida when my jerk partner talked so nasty about a 13 year old gymnast. He was such a egomaniac and a little nuts too. The time I crawled under a desk at WQAM in Miami because my interview with Brian Bosworth got so totally messed up was such an embarrassment.

It's been fun, I've actually reconnected with quite a few people over the last couple months since the book release is so close. I'm excited for people to see what I've done, where I've been, who I've interviewed and how it's turned out so far. My career is far from over, but it's been a crazy ride, that's for sure! Each time I read the book I think of one more person who was great to me. The list of jerks is actually not as long as the list of cool people I encountered. That's kind of a relief, looking back at it all now. I'm excited for what's coming next for me. I have no idea what it is, but whatever the universe offers me, I'll be ready. October 8th...gets a bit closer each day!

Major League Baseball shows it's heart...

What a weekend it was in the majors...from tragedy to sadness, to elation, to triumph, to excitement and beyond. This is truly why baseball is the best professional sport out there. From the poor Texas crowd, watching a man fall to his death. From Josh Hamilton's painful struggles and past life to his recovery and re-emergence into the sport...to his baseball toss and last week's devastating death in his home ball park. To Josh's HR to win the game over the weekend, to his ability to shake the guilt and sadness and continue playing the game. Derek Jeter's weekend was a major accomplishment as well.

Man, I love this game. I love the history, the tradition and the stories. Baseball may have been passed by other sports in revenue and popularity, but it will always be my favorite. My Dodgers are killing me right now, not the actually guys on the field, but the front office and the soap opera led by the nuts McCourt clan, argh! I thank MLB for stepping in, it's embarrassing, but it's hopeful. I hope we get past this time in Dodger baseball, and get back to the game itself, on the field, in the stands and amongst the elite in the game again...I'm dreaming, I like to dream, my life's been a dream, my book is a dream. So, I'll never give up on dreams! Cheers, to dreams!

Book signing...Woot Woot!

It's getting closer. I even feel like it's actually happening. I thought it would only hit me that I had written a book when I'm holding it in my hand. Now, with a book signing/release party officially on my schedule, it's really close. WOW, after everything, every re-write, every edit, every change, every photo, every and every cover design.

The book is moments from being in my hands!

Oy Vay!

October 8th, in San Luis Obispo County, the release of No Girls Allowed!
