Endless Summer...and a new exciting JOB!!!

Luckily where I live it feels like summer most of the year. Yes, it gets cold on California's Central Coast. But, the sun is shining on most days year round. The coast in the early mornings is always peaceful and welcoming. My favorite time of the day is before 8am on our little quiet community beach. Most weekdays I have the 1/4 mile stretch of beach all to myself. I should add, Inde the dog is always with me too. When I remove my shoes and walk down the 20 or so stairs, I look forward to feeling the water and shells between my toes. Sometimes another dog or two runs along in the distance, Inde galloping to find out who it is. She's middle aged, nearly 10 years old, but runs like she's still a teenager. No ball or stick will go unnoticed with this gray and black beauty. As summer moves into August, I celebrate my journey and the places I've been along the way. A new stop has appeared, yes a new gig, a big one, a huge one, a life changing dream come true for this California girl! Drum roll please... I am the new voice of your Hancock College Football team. Yes, radio/TV play by play of community college football. I have always wanted to do play by play. I'll get to paint the picture for our listeners while my partner explains the action from a football mind. I will give the best description I can of the action on the field, while he tells us how and why. This is so cool and exciting. My job is describing the action, while his is to add color, reasoning and expertise. Fun for us all. It's my first time doing play by play. After 23 years in this business I'm doing an entry level job with a bunch of solid experiences behind me. I cannot wait. Practice beings August 9th, I'll meet the coaches asap. It'll be different for all of us. But, I will make Hancock proud and all of the people who have supported me over the years as well. It's the beginning of a new chapter in my story.
