April 9th – 12th
Virginia vs Duke – Men’s Lacrosse – ESPN2HD – 4pm et
I flew down to Charlotte on Thursday evening. Got settled into my favorite hotel near the ESPN Regional Television office.
On Friday morning, I went to the office to visit for a little while. As always, I was greeted with open arms and felt right at home there. A lot of the staff was out on remote or off because it was Good Friday – but I still had a chance to see a few people.

After leaving the office I started towards Durham, but stopped in Denver to visit a good friend and her husband. (I have worked with them both for many years) They live on a lake about 45 minutes outside of Charlotte. Their house was fabulous and in a magnificent setting. Their views of the lake were so peaceful. I can see why the daily commute is worthwhile.
It was a very, very rainy day. But Anne and I still toured the yard so I could see all her flowers, gardens etc. that we have talked about over the years.
Just a great afternoon visiting with friends! I would of stayed longer, but I still had a couple hours to drive, rainy weather and holiday weekend traffic were waiting for me.
“Linda”, my GPS, freaked out and had be going in the wrong direction for a while. But I figured it out eventually. She sometimes likes to add a little excitement to our trips!
Eventually made it to the hotel in Durham. Had a nice evening with friends at the bar.
On Saturday I worked with the production crew that I will be working with in May for the NCAA Lacrosse Championships. It’s a great crew and I am happy to be joining them again this season.
After the game, I made the drive back to Charlotte. I had booked a hotel near the airport.
The hotel was completely dead, it was sad to see actually.
I was a little uneasy about my room assignment as I do not like rooms on the ground floor. I just don’t feel as safe.
As I was following the winding hallway to my room, I got a little freaked out because my room was off in a corner. Upon entering my suite, I took a step back out into the hallway as it looked like my room had possibly been robbed.
The piece of furniture that was obviously intended for the TV was bare. It only contained a remote control and channel guide.
So I propped open the door with my bag and investigated. Again, a little nervous because it was a 2 room suite divided by a bathroom, so there were lots of windows and such. I determined all was secure and had a chuckle about the missing TV. (there was one in the bedroom, so I didn’t complain)
Spent the rest of the evening relaxing and watching TV in bed. Nice change of pace for once.
Flew back to Columbus on Sunday morning.
What did I miss this weekend?
The Blue Jackets Fan Appreciation Night, formally known as “FanAle” – the last game of regular season. They did it! They finally made it to the post-season!!!
