Thankful for WHAT?
I truly hope anyone who reads this FIRST knows how thankful I am that you bothered to check in here. It's quite a leap of faith to assume that anyone could care less what I have to say this day or any other. But then again -I think anchoring a television newscast comes with a certain "suspension of disbelief". As in - yes people are actually tuned in (the physical AND mental act of "tuning in") and are really absorbing what you're presenting on the air. I mean- talking into the camera and hoping someone's on the other end watching seems an awfully optimistic act - doesn't it?
I'm thankful for everyday I get that feeling of telling a story that needs to be told. I think I actually started reporting believing I would serve some useful purpose. There's a lot of "feel good" chatter that goes into a newscast that hopefully makes you smile (or grimace) , of course. And obviously, whether it's a story about the heroism of our troops so far away who risk their lives while we get to live ours , the upcoming presidential primaries, or even reminding you of where the traffic slowdowns or accidents are over the holiday weekend - it feels good to know we're letting you know what's going on.
I'm thankful to be part of that -thankful to be part of a team of hardworking,dedicated,and just plain GOOD people.
And while I'm at it - I'm eternally thankful for the two beautiful, talented, hilarious, and occasionally FRUSTRATING teenagers in my life. And I wish I was sitting down with them tonight to hear the latest in their lives - or maybe just a grunt of acknowledgement ! (you know how it is)
And I couldn't be more thankful for my mother,sisters, niece, and nephew. And thankful to be blessed by the people who've touched my life and made it worthwhile. I hope you know who you are ! If not - I've got a lot more work to do... OFF camera.

Stop short changing yourself. You're absolutely wonderful. I always look forward to watching you. Even if you were to come on just to say hello, that would make my day and put a smile on my face.
So keep up the excellent work Todd.
Oh! With all do respect, I think you are sexy.
Your admirer TB.

I realize this is a little late, Todd, but I just read what you had to say. Look, you're a good person, and you know what you're doing. Even when you were here in NY, you were really hard on yourself. Give yourself a break. :) We still miss you up here. Take good care of yourself.
