As I write this, it's been more than three hours since I descended from the harrowing and exciting experience of riding "Voodoo,"  the newest coaster at Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom.   As you'll see,  Voodoo  rises at a 90-degree angle, and goes 70 mph!     My knees are still a bit weak, and my head is still a bit dizzy.    I'll never forget the experience, and they tell me it was great TV.   If you're crazy about coasters,  this one's for you:

The One Tank Trip to Dorney was just one way to have fun in the Lehigh Valley.   And it only took us a quarter tank of gas to get there from Philly!    Tracey Werner from the Lehigh Valley Convention and Visitor's Bureau tells us about The Crayola Factory,  The Lehigh Valley Wine Trail,  and the newest game in town,  Major League Baseball, with the Phillies' AAA team, the Iron Pigs.

 We also had the chance to meet some fun folks from the area's professional women's softball team.   What's that?   You didn't know there was a pro team in the area?  Neither did we, so we are happy to tell you all about the fierce ladies of the Philadelphia Force.

I love roller coasters! It looks a little bit like the Chiller coasters at Six Flags, although I don't think they make a pure 90° angle like Voodoo.

You should love this one, John. All the coaster enthusiasts who were with us on Friday kept riding it over and over. Once was enough for me!

I have been the weather anchor on Good Day Philadelphia since December of 1997. It's been quite a ride, and I've been extremely fortunate. I've spent much of my time during the years taking weather on location. Those experiences have afforded me so many opportunities I never would have had otherwise. I've visited countless schools and been able to show our viewers some of the positive things going on in the classrooms in our area. We've been able to focus on the many teachers working very hard, and the students who will always remember when TV came to their school. I'm also proud of encouraging our viewers to be "tourists in their own hometown." We've taken you to special spots, like the Camden Children's Garden, the Constitution Center, and hundreds more. These are places I might have procrastinated about visiting on my own, but thanks to this job, I've been able to feel so much a part of this community as the folks out there have opened their arms. How lucky am I? My daughter has been a part of this program, periodically, from the time she was six months old. And even now, people who recognize me and Nia when we're out and about remember when I did the weather from our house on her first day of kindergarten. Now she is in fifth grade! So many of her childhood memories are preserved on Good Day, and I am grateful. We continue to make amazing upgrades to our equipment here at Fox 29, and it's exciting to work with the very latest in state-of-the-art technology. My latest thrill is this blog. I look forward to hearing from you!
