i've been everywhere man...

... well, not quite, but we have lived in almost every state in the southeastern U.S., and Georgia is next.

Laura, my beautiful and extremely talented wife, has accepted the assistant news director position at WTOC-TV in Savannah, and we couldn't be more stoked.  since leaving print for t.v. in 2007, she has climbed the news ladder quickly, but each promotion has been well-deserved.  she's pressed in to excelling at producing news.  and thankfully, her superiors have taken notice, and invested time and money into her growth as a leader in the newsroom.  it has not been in vain.  the decision to make this transition was an easy one, and she can only grow more through the duration of this position preparing her for whatever's next, because as we've learned, we don't know what's next.  (see all previous posts.)

i'm looking to get back into audio production, etc., and Savannah holds plenty of opportunity for me in that field.  as much as i love editing, the newsroom has never been good atmosphere for me.  ironically, it's where i've spent 5 of my 7 years post-college.  all is can say regarding that is i survived.  i'll edit video again if need be, but for my health, i'm retiring from the news.  i'll edit audio for sure, especially if it means returning to the studio.  and f.y.i., my dream of building and operating a legit recording studio is not dead, so if you know where i can find a half a million dollars or so, please let me know.

and to close another "we're moving" post, heading back to the coast may be the best news of all.  with Laura from Jacksonville, FL, and myself having grown up near the grand ole OBX of NC, we can say without hesitation that being land-locked for nearly three years has made us feel a bit misplaced.  we'll also be closer to our families and many close friends.  yes, we'll miss some folks in AL, as we still miss folks everywhere we've lived, but it's just a part of relocation.  let's all appreciate modern transportation.

perhaps i'll write again soon.  hopefully, for at least the next two years, it won't be to say that we're moving... but that's not something i can guarantee :)

much love - d.
