To my fabulous faithful bloggers: calling JT, Shaikens, Richdoy, Cooler, Crazy, Deck, Jack Frost, Dewey Devil, NJ Dirt tracker, Paul, wow...

the list is long and I can't type all my favorite handles, but YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!  I want you all to participate :)

First the Primary Special that we are airing each week, now we're diving headfirst into the hybrid of internet/tv news coverage.  We are launching a new internet venture at FOX 29, and involves a blog, my blog, about life on and offline in Philadelphia.

My station has called it  www.kerrileetv.com and basically, it has me as a go-between the local web, the community, bloggers,  you tube, news sites, and our newscasts.  Cool, huh?

Visit our new site now, but keep in mind, there are still test pages, and it's a work in progress.   But this will be our new meeting place, and we can bring our chat to a whole new level over there...  sign on, get a new name, or use the old one from here, but become a part of it. 

See ya at KLTV!

Hi All,

And you thought I forgot about you!  Never.  In fact, bloggers, gather close, I have a surprise for you... only I can't tell you just yet what it is.  It's a big fat secret, but we may have a new home, our blog room may soon look a little different.  You know, same kinda place, just different paint on the walls.  Stay tuned :)

Alright, so Happy St. Paddy's Day.  You better be wearing green!

I am at work, working on "the secret" but wanted to at least check in, so here's a little rambling about... well, Lambertville!

Last week I had an event to go to, and the organizers knew I would be rushing from work, so they sent a car to come and get me.  I tried to pretend it was totally normal for me to be hopping into a chauffeured vehicle, with a guy named "Joe" opening the door for me, but it wasn't, and it was such a treat.  Partly because Joe was just a really great guy.

He said he was from Lambertville, and I couldn't have been more excited to hear that.  There are many towns in the Delaware Valley that I love, but Lambertville, NJ is one of the tops. 

I kind of "discovered" a couple of years ago, when my friend Jodi Applegate and her husband bought a cottage across the river in New Hope.  Every chance I got to go visit her, became an exploration of the quaint BYOB's on both sides of the river, and soon I had my favorites.   But what struck me most of all, is that this hidden gem is just a drive from NYC and Philadelphia, and it was somehow able to maintain all of it's originality and uniqueness. 

Is it possible, that in this age of strip malls, shopping centers, and towns that look identical no matter where you go in America, that a town this charming could still exist?

I'm so glad it does.

Ciao for now,

Hi Everyone!

It's Sunday, I'm taking a break from a nasty kitchen renovation (SO gross, I won't elaborate, but I may post pictures and I feel like I did in this picture with mud all over my face.. that dirty) and catching up on emails.

How often do we cringe over those emails that we get from people that are seemingly annoying forwards?  I try to always look at them, because someone sent them to me, so I know they meant something to them, but so often I find myself thinking-- wow, 180 new messages in my inbox, I am going to have to gloss over these pretty quickly to get through them, and I have to hit delete more than once.  That said...

My Uncle forwarded my mom who forwarded me, some interesting points about, well... life.  There was a time that I was unable to relate to a lot of them, but as I've gotten older, and life has touched me in various ways, good and bad, I can now read a list like this, and well, really "get it."  So I'm going to cut and paste them for you, and save you having to get the forward from my Uncle Warron (no matter HOW awesome he is).  Ok-- I know, these email "lists" are annoying, but I swear, you'll find at least one point that will make your week better. 

39 Tips for Better Life - 2008

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It
is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if
you have to.

3. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement,
'My purpose is to __________ today.'

5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

7. Make time to pray. It provides us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new
and flowing energy into your life.

14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires,
issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
college kid with a maxed out charge card.

21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their
journey is all about.

24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years,
will this matter?'

26. Forgive everyone for everything.

27. What other people think of you is none of your business.

28. GOD heals.

29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends
will. Stay in touch.

31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful, or joyful.

32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

33. The best is yet to come.

34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

35. Do the right thing!

36. Call your family often. (Or email them to Death!!!)

37. Each night before you go to bed complete the following
statements: I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.

38. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

39. Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the
most of it and enjoy the ride.

There are so many good ones here-- I like eating Alaskan Salmon, and forgiving everybody, and thinking the best is yet to come.  I always enjoyed Sophia Loren's comment, that what keeps her fit, and young and happy and beautiful and smart-- is believing that there is still something exciting around the next corner.  I do too, though my "eyewear" isn't nearly as awesome as hers :) 

The movie, "As Good As It Gets," doesn't apply to us, does it?  I swear, it gets better and better,  Or at least we can believe that and work our hardest to make sure that's the case, and you know what, I believe wholeheartedly that it DOES get better and better and better....

"

"Life isn't fair, but it's still good."

It certainly wasn't the day this photo was taken.  An Eagle squirting me with a high pressure hose?

Ouch.  But it got better :)

Yep-- you heard me right, Trashtalk '08 is swinging into high gear!  And this time I have a pretty heavy hitter helping me out-- Mayor Nutter.

He and I have been organizing clean-ups and going into neighborhoods in desperate need of some straightening up for nearly a year now, so we got to know each other well on the "Trashtalk" level, and he told me last summer, "If I become Mayor, one of the first things I want to do is organize a massive, city-wide cleanup."  Well, once again, Nutter is keeping his word and the cleanup is going to be announced in the very very near future (like Monday at a rally in Love Park)  Not only that, the city is unveiling a website that will allow every single Philadelphian to get involved by clicking on where they live, and finding out the staging area on that day for their neighborhood. 

Philadelphians--- PLEASE, we need your help!  And actually, it might be our responsibility to get the litter off our streets, out of our schools, and away from our blocks, because uh... we put it there.  This is the reality, and the part of this whole thing no one ever wants to admit to, but there wouldn't be litter and an enormous trash problem if we didn't drop the stuff on the ground in the first place. 

So, make your communities shine, and your streets sparkle by helping the Mayor and I out.  I am meeting Nutter today in a trash ridden neighborhood to highlight the problem and to encourage response from anyone who has pride in this city and wants to make it look as good as it should.  Believe it or not, there are cities around the world that don't have trash problems, and they look amazing.  We are not there yet, so help us work toward that same goal.  So, gather all your friends together, and get them involved!

I know you're all thinking, "It must be Spring, KL is on her trash kick again."  You know what?  You would be right!!!!!

Now please please please help me out!  Enter "Trashtalk" in this websites search engine to see some of our pieces from last year or just click right here, and you'll see this whole trash thing is catching on. Block captains-- I love you all, and thank you for your continued service and dedication.

More to come on this....

Hi Everyone!

As a "Geek-ette" in training (what, with all this blogging I'm doing now) I thought Oprah's effort last night to do something daring, and technologically forward was great-- a massive live webcast.  How cool!  Um, maybe not. 

Here's the problem-- it didn't really work.  There is good news-- 500,000 people showed up online to check out her "New Earth" philosophy with writer Eckhart Tolle.  But there is also bad news-- The entire thing crashed after about 45 minutes.

Yikes.

Here's one blogger's take on the "event."  I laughed at the irony of her closing her laptop to watch something on tv instead.   

Hi Everyone, Happy Weekend!

I tried to post this yesterday at work, and spent at least 45 minutes putting together a clever post, only to have it time out, and disappear into cyberspace.  Frustrated, I decided Friday night was not the night to stay late at work to re-post.

I had to shoot a headshot and some special "webshots" for a new FOX 29 microsite I'm working on at Philly Style Magazine's headquarters yesterday, so being the newly crowned "Techie" that I am, I brought my Flip Cam! (My friends now call that thing, "KerriCam")  Anyway, if you want to see a behind the scenes look at the photoshoots we do for the billboards you see around town, or the headshots that are posted on this very site-- here's an example!

Micheal Spain-Smith is the photographer and here's how dedicated he is to his work.  At the beginning of this little movie Click here to watch my video you see him holding his eye and looking at the shot.  He scratched his cornea severely the night before, and spent hours in the ER, so he can barely see, and the light from the shoot is KILLING his eyes.  He kept going though, and still made me stand in the all the strange and crazy positions he makes us stand in.  However, when we see the pictures afterwards we are SO glad we listened to him-- he totally knows his stuff.  I always joke with him, "MIchael, don't make me look good, I want to look BETTER than I really look!"  He cracks up and reminds me he's not a magician, and I then decide to appeal to the graphic department back at FOX to bring out their strongest airbrushing kit. 

You also see Meagan, the very talented makeup artist, pulling off the belt from my pants.  There is a very good reason for this, I promise!  Apparently it was showing up in the pictures and causing my jacket to bulge a little bit, so, Meagan is called in and off it goes.  Well those are all the secrets I can share, or at least show-- believe me, there are others and they were all performed safely behind a locked bathroom door! LOL

Hope you had a great Saturday, Spring temps coming on Monday!  YAY!!!

Hi Again,

What is happening to me, I can't stop blogging! What... two in one day?  Three posts in two days?  OUTRAGEOUS!!

But I have so many things to tell you all, and my station loves it when we post and blog and chat (how awesome is my station?) so I guess I better do what they say, right? :)

Ok- so the "Hot Nanny" emailed me tonight.  Ashie is Van's first nanny, and she directed me to HER blog that she is doing for a class at school.  Of course I had to check it out, and in true Ashley fashion, it's hilarious.  She has always cracked me up and her crazy random comments about American Idol in tonight's post, just reminded me of all the nights we spent with a baby between us laughing and giggling at the show. 

We used to joke about Simon's tight black tees which we weren't so sure he should be wearing (I had a red carpet close-up that made me wonder if it was the best look for him) and Ashley would ask me about the time I interviewed Paul Abdul and embarrassed myself by admitting, shortly after I got my driver's license, I would listen to "Cold Hearted Snake," CONSTANTLY in my dad's car.  Paula wasn't sure what to make of that, I think she thought I was busting on her album-- so NOT the case, considering to this day, I still know every word to every song.

Anyway, what I remember most about Ashley, was the way she would tell me stories.  I used to try not to let on how funny I thought she was because I wanted her to continue and not think I was laughing AT her.  For example, she always seemed to have crazy dreams, and when she would re-count them in the morning, it was beyond hysterical.  Check out her blog, she talks about some of them-- I think one of her posts recalls her "MIchelle Pfeiffer--Rocket Launch" dream.

That is SOOO Ashley.

I soooo love and miss her.

Hi Everyone!

So I was opening mail at my desk, and in a pile of packages, I saw a box from NATAS, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.  Sure enough, the Michigan Emmy Entries had arrived-- I had promised our local chapter president I would help judge some of the entries from around the country, and it turned out to be Michigan.  Ok-- that's on my to-do list for tomorrow.

 But wait, what was this other box, about the same size?

I opened it up thinking it was more emmy entries, and what a surprise!  They were beautiful candles from a company called, BEELUXE.  The sender? KC Christian, a viewer I met last week at a Philly Mag event.  She was there with her sisters and mom, named Peggy.  She said they were loyal 5pm viewer, and we spent time chatting, laughing, and eating (it was the Philly Cooks event, afterall)  The next I mentioned on the air meeting Peggy, and a sent out a special hello, since I knew she would be watching. But I never expected in a million years a beautiful handwritten note, and a box of beeswax candles with some of the most incredible scents I'd ever smelled!

Beeluxe.  Hmmm, hadn't heard of it, but wow, those candles!  So, I decided to check out the company online.  Guess what I discovered? It's a local company from Bucks County! 

"BEELUXE is nestled in the 300-year-old village of Fallsington in historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania."  Here's the link to the website: www.beeluxe.com

Thank you KC, Peggy, and Beeluxe.  I have been smelling these candles all night-- and I'm not sure if I like "Shore Thing, Front Porch Swing, or Day at the Races" best.  Aromatherapy (much needed in a newsroom) can do wonders for the soul.  I can't wait to get them home and burn them!

Smile,

Hi Everybody!

So I've been spending some time with our web department, and Matt, Scott, Torr and Frank are going to be helping me out a little bit in the near future.  I can't get into a ton of details, but soon-- our little blogging community can go hog wild in a place all our own.

Prepare to spread the word to our former members, and let's invite some new ones-- I'll tell you more when I can.  In the meantime, I'm going to be experimenting with this blog a little bit, so bear with me, I'm by NO means a techie.   That's why our main web guy is going to set me up with our "Geek Squad" contact so I can learn the ropes.

"Matt Web" is going to help me tonight.  We are going to experiment with video from my new "Flip Camera."  It's fairly inexpensive, you can get them at Best Buy, and for 170 bucks or so, you can make little movies or pictures out of anything, anywhere, anytime.  Yes, very cool.

So I've been carrying mine around and I'm going to attempt to link some videos to this blog.  In the future, I'll blog about a topic, and link pics or videos that match the topic.  But again, what I'm linking now will really have no major reason for being linked except that I'm practicing :)

First-- some footage from "Philly Cooks" that celebrated 100 years of Philadelphia Magazine.  John Bolaris and I hosted the event, and the camera person taking the video?  WIP's own Anthony Gargano.

Finally-- a link to a short video of my little guy playing while we waiting for breakfast at a Center City diner on Saturday.  It is sooooo smart for family restaurants to have a "bag of goodies" handy! 

There you go, if I can learn how to do this, so can you.  Hope you don't mind being my guinea pig for a little while, but I'm a fast learner, I promise!

Ciao for now,

Hi All!

After honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it's time to go back to work, and gear up for lots of exciting things that lie ahead.

First of all-- Happy Birthday to the 5pm Show!  Today is has been one year since we started the show, and debuted the new studio to the Delaware Valley.  Thanks from all of us, for watching, for supporting us, and for even helping us beat the competition on a number of occasions.  That's a big deal for a brand new newscast, especially when we're going up against stations that have had 5pm news on their air for decades.  So-- Thank you!  In our second year, things have changed a bit, Rob Guarino is off to greener pastures (we will always love you Robbie G) and John Bolaris has joined us (welcome John!) I am no longer sitting on a stool (those who watched in the beginning know what I'm talking about!) and I have Dave Huddleston, Don Tollefson and John join me on the desk at the end of the show.  Yay! I'm not as lonely anymore!  Watch our anniversary newscast today and let's make year 2, bigger and better!

This weekend is the Academy Ball at the Academy of Music.  Last year you all voted and helped me pick out my dress-- this year, I used your good taste and input from last year and bought one.  I'll post pics from the big night for our city on my blog, so come back and check it out.  No royalty this year, Prince Charles and Camilla won't be passing through, but we're Philadelphians-- we know how to have a good time all on our own :)

Fur Ball-- you need to come out and support the Morris Refuge on February 9th at the Lowe's Hotel.  This is going to be a blast-- it's cocktail dress attire, everyone's welcome, and it's going to be a night to remember.  Come on out and hang with John Bolaris and myself as emcees, and support the kitties and doggies who desperately need a home. Mayor Michael Nutter and his wife Lisa are going to be guests of honor.

SO, just a couple of things for you all to think about this week as we weather these chilly January temperatures together.

Best,

KL 

Hi Everyone!

I recently had my little sister help me put together a facebook.com profile.  It was her suggestion, I hadn't even thought about it.  But once she showed me where to go and what to do, I realized I had been living under a rock for the last few years.  I had been  missing out on the chance to connect with people from my past I had long lost touch with.

Since making my page (and it's skeletal at best, I know, I need to spice it up) I have been contacted by a wide variety of people from my past and present.  Take Dean Irvine for example-- I grew up with him in Cordova Bay, and he was always an academic rival.  Now years later, I admit, Dean won, he's a brainiac!  He's a published author and University Professor. 

Then there's Nicole, she quickly became one of my first friends.  Nicole is another friend from yesteryear, she is still drop-dead gorgeous and now a beautiful mother to an adorable little boy, Ryder.  But my memories with her are vast, and mostly center around all the crazy things we did when we were young, and the silly trouble we got into.  If I said to her, let's go play "Statues" on the playground, she would laugh and know exactly what that meant. 

And then I was recently contacted by Coral.  She was several years older, and I looked up to her a great deal since I was just 14 years old in the "Miss Teen Victoria" pageant and she was crowned, "Miss teen Victoria."  I was a runner-up.  She was kind, with the kind of smile you never forget.   Here's an excerpt from her message she posted on my page.  She is referring to when Prince Charles and Camilla came to Philadelphia for the Academy Ball a year ago.  The memory she is recalling is a flashback to when she and I and the other runner-up went to Expo '86 in Vancouver during Prince Charles and Diana's visit.  That was the same trip where Princess Diana fainted.  This was the evening before :

I was overwhelmed with nostalgia when reading about the royal gala visit with Prince Charles & Camilla you attended! I couldn't help but reminisce all about our adventures with Tracy in 1986 at the opening of expo '86 . I have never forgotten about the Concert we were invited to attend with Tracy, Bob & his daughters. Where Princess Diana & Prince Charles sat in the row right behind us!!!! I remember how both you & I had to keep pinching ourselves all night long, and how we kept looking over our shoulders every few minutes as we couldn't take our eyes off of Diana! We probably drove her crazy!!! Do you remember going up to the floor and into the room where all of Diana's wardrobe was & meeting her lady in waiting? Such amazing memories!

I had completely forgotten about some of the detail in Coral's message, it was so good to be taken right back to that night, that concert.  I do remember Princess Diana finally giving me a stern look, like, "Ok, you got your look honey, now turn around and watch the concert!"  I couldn't blame her, I was a giddy school-girl unable to take my eyes off her.  When the concert emptied out, we waited and took the scotch-taped labels off her and Charles seat and kept them as souvineers.  I think I still have her name tag somewhere... 

Not only have friend's from my past contacted me, but viewers, bloggers (love you "Crazy!") and even a new friend I met in Ireland has become part of my facebook world.  It's also the way I learned a former classmate, the beautiful Samantha, is fighting breast cancer.  I hadn't talked to her since we graduated highschool, and was thrilled when she asked me to be a "friend."  Of course I agreed, but when I went to her profile and saw the pink breast cancer ribbons, and the messages others had left her-- I was absolutely stunned.  I wrote her back right away and since then, have had her on my mind almost constantly, sub-consciously fighting her fight with her, at least in spirit.   I never would have known, and I'm thankful to be able to connect with her, at least in this way.

Well, time to work on the newscast, but I was just sitting here thinking about the new people in my life, even if they are only friends now through a keyboard and a profile page on a networking website.  It's another reminder to me that relationships are the most important thing we will ever have in our lives, more important that our jobs, our material possessions, or anything else that wrongly, occupies most of our time.  Those we care about aren't a temporary thing, they are with us always..

Have a great weekend everybody!

Hi Everybody!

Philadelphia in '08--  A New Year, and a "New Day"

Happy New Year-- I hope '08 was ushered into your life with a bang, and with much hope and excitement.  After just having anchored our Mayoral Inauguration coverage, I am incredible optimistic about this time of change for our city.  Mayor Nutter set just the right tone during his speech and I think big things are in store for Philadelphia.  He said it's time to take back the city, and he looks forward to a rebirth, and to the biggest turnaround a city has ever seen.  You know what I think?  I think he's exactly right, and that he's just the person to bring about such change and as far as how we all fit into his plan, remember-- he can't do ANYTHING without us supporting him.  Let's help him clean up the city, City Hall, and the image of "Killadelphia."  Let's stand behind Charles Ramsey, as our city's "Top Cop."  Incidently, I remember him well from my time at WTTG in Washington, and he was a phenomenal influence on the city, and yes, he turned things around drastically.  He has great leadership and Mayor Nutter made a good, solid choice bringing him onboard.

FOX 29

Lots of changes at FOX for '08 as well.  Tomorrow, we welcome John Bolaris to our evening news teams.  He will debut at 5pm, and what great weather he brought with him!  60's?  In January?  We'll take it (well, maybe the snowboarders won't, but the cold temps will come back, guys!) Expect some changes to the format of the show, and to see a focused, dedicated approach to our news coverage.  The plan is to become "THE" weather station and to be the one to turn to for breaking news, regardless of what programming is on at the time.  And of course, it's time for American Idol.  We know you all watch that show because the ratings in our area are HUGE, so keep on tuning in and laughing at Simon Cowell's corny jokes, and voting for the best of the best.  Will the next American Idol be from Philly?  It's up to you!

Me, in '08  :)

Personally-- I have decided to try new things this year.  I am training for a local "Dancing with the Celebrities" event, so I'm finally going to learn how to do forms of dancing I've never done before, but always wanted to.  And just this weekend, I bought an alto sax, to get back to playing an instrument I abandoned a few years back. Well, make that many years back.  I played for years, in both concert and jazz bands, and after our audio engineer, George gave me a "Candy Dulfer" CD (man, she is gorgeous!)  I got inspired and realized how much I missed playing myself.  So I bought a sax, picked it up, and told me friend to hold his ears as I played my first note in 15 years, and lo and behold, it was like riding a bike.  I could still play!  So I spent sometime annoying my neighbors with my renditions of everything from "Penny Lane" to "Crocodile Rock" to "The Essential Alto Sax Rock Classics" and even if no one else enjoyed it, I had a blast!   I am also going to spend the year travelling to places I've never been before.  My little guy is old enough now to travel with me, and actually remember some of what he is seeing, so he and I have some exploring to do.  We went to the Caribbean in December for a family cruise, and had such a blast, he didn't want to get off the cruise ship-- he thought we had "moved in." 

I hope the New Year presents all of you with new challenges and exciting opportunities.  And if they're not right infront of your face, find them!  I'm a big believer in "Bloom Where You're Planted."  Make it happen, no time is better than the present, and you've got a fresh new year to make the best of your resolutions.  Good luck!

All the best,

Kerri-Lee

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I am back in town, and tonight, preparing for the first time in a while, to go to work tomorrow.  I went to the Caribbean on a cruise with my family, and it was WONDERFUL.  So much rest and relaxation, and even though temperatures were in the 80's, there were Christmas decorations everywhere.  It's amazing actually, how much we were able to get into the Christmas spirit despite the palm trees, Pina Coladas, and the steel kettle drums!

This has been my month of travel, because before that (for those of you who emailed asking, Where are you?!) I was in Ireland.  My first time, and though there was a little rain, temperatures held up pretty well and we were able to walk around the beautiful city of Dublin, even take a tour of the countryside.  I was castles, the coast, and did a little shopping-- the US dollar isn't very good up against the Euro, so I kept the purchasing to a minimum, but enjoyed myself nonetheless.  I have been friends with Bono's cousin Simon Hewson for a few years now, and took every single tip he gave me about where to go in Dublin.  He knows his hometown, he was right about each hotspot!  I loved the Guinness tour too, even though I gave away my free beer at the end of the day.  I have tried to make myself like the stuff, but I guess I'll always be a Coors Lite girl.  Sigh.

If you have a minute (or an hour) this week to watch the 5 and 10pm, I will be solo anchoring the newscasts so keep me company if you can and tune in.  Happy Holidays to each and everyone of you, I hope the season is a special no matter what you're celebrating. 

Warm wishes to you, your family, and friends.

Kerri-Lee
