Thank-you Kitchener-Waterloo

Wow! I’m almost at a loss for words. That day is here. Don’t get me wrong. I’m very happy. Excited even. But now it’s so very, very real. If you were at my farewell breakfast a couple of months ago, you heard me say that if I ever wrote a book (not gonna happen, by the way) I’d call it “Luckier Than I Deserved To Be”. 

When I was about 14, maybe 15, I was this nerdy kid who came into the radio station & watched Jim Craig do his morning show. Now I’m 60, and I’ve been doing that show for 31 years. The morning show on the station I grew up listening to, dreaming of someday working at. I actually got to live that dream. And I’ve also been extremely lucky to have been surrounded by hundreds of extremely talented people for all these years. With all that talent around me, I couldn’t have messed it up if I tried. And how many people are lucky enough to be able to say the most enjoyable time of their career was the last 15 years? What a joy it’s been to be able to sit across the table from Tara every morning.

And I’ve been even luckier in my personal life. A wife who’s stood beside me, encouraged me, and lived a lifestyle that requires some pretty ridiculous hours. And she’s done that since 1976. For many of those years, she’d even get up & make me breakfast.  And my kids, who grew up knowing that their dad was going to bed before they were, so they’d better be really quiet. And they were.

Thank-you for allowing me into your homes & cars every morning for all these years. I’m truly honoured.
