I had the best job in local television.
I know this because people told me I did all the time. I had a blast as a feature reporter creating the “MA in MN” segments at KMSP-TV, the Fox affiliate in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I mean, stories about he coolest stuff in MN–dream job, right? Even so, it was time for a change. As for my near 20-yr. tenure, Keith Richards probably said it best: “I gotta move, it’s still fun. I’m gonna walk before they make me run.” (Am I shoehorning in a gratuitous Stones reference? Kind of. But “Before They Make Me Run” is the walk-off song I’ve had in my head for years. Plus, Keith = retirement goals.)
