Field work on the hottest day of the year

Today was a good day - Sabrina, myself and senior videographer Mike Villagomez hit the streets to record standups and transitional segues for our Liberation Day special, which airs this Saturday night. It was a great time - we got all dolled up and recorded ad-libbed host bits on site in 3-piece suits...and in 90-degree heat. Not counting the humidity.

We covered many of the historic areas in Guam's southern end that played significant parts in turning the tide of the war in 1944, and had to come up with (hopefully) whimsical, entertaining and historically accurate dialogue. Man, it was hot. I've never been much of a sweathog, but I was literally drowning inside my sportcoat. And we didn't nail anything on the first take, which for us is rare. So there's a lot of fresh material for our blooper reel.

Between the three of us we cursed more in an hour than Eddie Murphy in "Delirious", and laughed about as much.

Bri and I don't get to do as much field work as we did in our younger years, so this was a nice break from office monotony. Sure beats the typical day slushing through meetings, hurriedly writing breaking news, on the phone and planning.
