Had a few days at home to regroup for the month of March; which is always a whirlwind!
Am in Hartford the Big East Women’s Basketball Championship (tournament). I have done this one for several years now.
We stay at the Hilton which is right downtown and connected to the XL Center which is where the event takes place.
On Thursday night I always go over to Morton’s Steakhouse for a fab dinner at the bar. And like clockwork, the same waitress serves me and doesn’t even have to ask what I want to eat or drink. She just remembers. I boggles my mind each time I visit. Typically, I dine here 3 times a year. Yet she and the bartender know my order by heart.
On Friday we have a set day and it never fails, we are behind before we even start.
Saturday and Sunday we are on the air for 4 games. I do two of those. So I am on the air for about 5.5 hours straight since we have to do the halftime show and the in between games show. It’s a long time to be sitting there and not being able to pee!
Plus we arrive about 4-5 hours before the first game to finish prepping and then stay a few hours after to prep for the next day.
By Sunday afternoon, I am spent. This is all I can see with my eyes open or closed.
Monday was a breeze – we had studio support for halftime and for in between games.
It’s long hours, but I still enjoy the challenge year in and year out.
