Greetings from Champaign

Hi. I'm back. For how long? Who knows. I have said in this space before that I've wanted to maintain a consistent blogging schedule. That's fallen flat more than a few times.

What I'm willing to tell you now is that I have moved to Illinois in an effort to further my career. Working at WHIZ was very rewarding in several different ways, and I always told myself I'd only leave Zanesville if I could find a job where my NEXT job after that would bring me back to Ohio. I believe I've found that at WICD.

Less than a month in, I'm doing more work than I've ever done, and it's incredibly rewarding. Being one man in a Big Ten market pulls you in a lot of different directions, with a lot on your plate every single day. When that plate gets consumed, it's a fun drive home. When I leave a little on it, I constantly hope that the following day will be better. That's how it works, and it is a blast. I've learned from a lot of different people (inadvertently or otherwise) that if you don't stop to enjoy what you're doing in this business, you won't last very long. This afternoon, I took a moment to check out the bronze plaque that marks the dedication of Memorial Stadium. It made me think about how lucky I am to be a part of something so many people have held so sacred for so many years.

Hopefully, I'll be a little more consistent with my posts. I'm very grateful to be where I am, and hopefully if you played a role in getting me here, you have already received some sort of "thank you". If not, thank you. And see you soon.
