Today started early, early with a new month of eye procedures. Only one month to go. Geez, that sounds like forever. We can only hope that it is as successful as intended. We will find that out a couple weeks after he finishes his treatments and goes for the fancy radiography pictures again to see if the CMV retinitis in his eyes has completely gone away. It is really a clinical diagnosis so the pictures will have to be the test that show that.
Next we drove next door for immediate weekly infusions but this was our long infusion. It happens once every three weeks. To the we finished 4 hours and rushed down to Seacrest Studios.
Daniel’s show was funny today. His first real PREVIEW of the football season. He is raring and ready to go. He was sans Mark Haas (his Sports Caster partner) but was in his element. He made some bold predictions for the year, but #1 was lot’s more D[P]R (that is Daniel’s Preview Review show). Not quite sure how this is all going to fit in with going back to school but we will make it work. My highlight was brother Matthew (with Uncle Ricky) stopped by the show. At dinner time Matthew actually admitted that It was pretty funny.
Next up meeting and asking a question to the current Governor of Colorado, John Hickenlooper. It was great. Full studio crowd and Daniel asked an excellent question that impressed the Governor. Daniel did his homework, looked up some facts and asked some educated questions. They weren’t all related to football. One related to Daniel so at least he sticks to whats important. Did you know that Governor Hickenlooper had a beer named after him on January 7th, Daniel’s birthday. Huh??? Once the Hickenlooper interview convened, the crowds swarmed…but not around the Governor around Daniel. The newspaper, the tv news reporter waited patiently for their turn to talk to Daniel. The buzz is always around Daniel in the studio and he grows more and more comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He enjoys it so much and it is clear that he can easily command a room and an interview. With his focus and determination I have no doubt he will be able to achieve his career goals he is setting and enjoy every second of it. What a joy and pleasure to see. I laugh with a tear in my eye at the fact that as an old man he will actually be able to say he has been doing sports reporting since he was 14 years old. Now that is one long career and I can’t wait to see it.
