I did a story on ground hogs today (http://kaaltv.com/article/stories/S1955247.shtml?cat=10151).
I've also done a story on a mustache-growing team called the "Sugar Cookie Dusters" (http://kaaltv.com/article/stories/S1862891.shtml?cat=0%3Fvideo%3DYHI&t=a)
...and yes, I've even done a story on testicles (http://kaaltv.com/article/stories/S1749900.shtml?cat=0%3Fvideo%3DYHI&t=a).
I don't always get to do fun stories. In fact, I think it's more the exception to the rule, than the actual rule itself, but when I do...I love it. I absolutely eat it up (perhaps not the best phrase to use when talking about a story on testicles...haha)...but I have fun with it. It's days like today, when I get to run around and ask people what they think about a furry rodent (or a furry ball sack - hey! we're talking journalistic integrity here!), that bring me back to my center and remind me how much I love my job. They serve as a reminder that I'm right where I ought to be, and that there's no other career out there that tickles my pickle as much as this one. And besides...one insanely goofy story helps me view the next few weeks of run-of-the-mill stories with glasses that are a little more rosey than normal.
I realize that every day can't be a Punxsutawney Phil day...
...or a food on a stick day...
...or a day where I get to wear wicked sweet safety glasses...
But I'm thankful for the days that are :)
