Hot Dog in South Texas Summer

It’s not even summer yet and I don’t even want to think about wearing jeans these days much less a sweater or coat. Our furry friends don’t have that luxury.

A race I find interesting

We haven’t covered this race that extensively on KSAT, but I think the school board race in SAISD between former Mayor Ed Garza and Michael Soto is intriguing. You would think it would be Garza in a runaway, but I’m hearing this is a race that’s hard to get a handle on. Garza even sent [...]

3 Council Races to watch

Let’s go out on a bit of a political limb here. What could be the tightest and most surprising council races?
1 – Lourdes Galvan could be in trouble. She has a number of good candidates opposing her, including David Medina who took her to a runoff the last election. Galvan could be headed back there [...]

I actually miss Fiesta!

So I consider myself fortunate that the last few days I was able to cover a couple of Fiesta events.  Usually, some of us in the news business try to avoid these events like the plague.  But I’ve decided to embrace them for several reasons.  For one, I usually never even get out to these [...]

Overtraining or Just Tired

So I started a new 10-week half-marathon training plan two weeks ago. I’m through two weeks and now I’m wondering if I may have bitten off a bit bigger chunk than I can chew. The workouts are a bit more intense than the last program I tried but it’s also about four weeks [...]

Parade Memories

Sorry about the lack of a post last night.  A bit too tired and lazy.  So last night I covered the River Parade for the second year in a row.  It was also the second time I ever went to the river parade.  As far as family atmosphere, it does seem like a great place [...]

Lesson Learned

So I go to the gym the other day for a pretty tough run.  When I get to the locker room, I realize I forgot to pack socks.  So, being the hard-headed person I am, I figured running once without socks won’t kill me.  Well, I was right about the no death part but it [...]

Yeah! Week 1 in the books!

Well, I survived the first week of training for my half-marathon in June.  I’m following an elite marathoner’s scaled-down plan.  If I hadn’t been a stubborn moron that one day and ran without socks, it would have been a great week.  Also, I’m realizing that I need to be a lot pickier about my carbs.  [...]

Is “horriblogger” a word?

I only ask this because I am a horrible blogger.  Not content (although that’s very debateable) but in effort.  It appears my own lack of initiative is shared by others in the newsroom and while that doesn’t make me happy, it’s nice to know I’m not alone.  So I’m making a New Year’s resolution (shut [...]

Get up and run!

Okay, day two of my attempt to blog every day.  So a small step but a big one as well.  I get to play real anchorman today.  For some reason it feels a bit more hectic than the weekend.  Probably because we have three evening newscasts and there are at least three times as many [...]
