Last night, we finally got to return to the studio, permanently, for the first time since March 15, 2020. We’d been back a few times, simply because we were covering things we couldn’t from home, but always had to return to anchoring or reporting from home. We’re far from done with this pandemic, but it’s nice to finally have this big sense of normalcy back.
When I first walked in the door at KCEN On July 5, 2016, I didn’t know what to expect. Since then, I’ve grown more than I ever could have imagined, as a journalist and a person. After almost 4-1/2 years on the shift known as “Weekend Edition,” I am incredibly humbled to announce that this will be my final weekend as weekend anchor and that beginning Monday, I will be the new Sports Director at KCEN. To Nick Canizales, my friend, you’ve left incredibly large shoes to fill and I can’t wait to do my best to try to fill them. In the mean time, tonight, tune in to Nick’s last show, Friday Night Lights for Week 10 of the Texas High School Football Season!
Health update: 10 months in to this health journey, I am now officially down 50 pounds from where I started back after the Sugar Bowl. When Coach Haire sent me this picture his family took, he sent it with, “What’s up, Slim? You’re gonna be as skinny as me before long.” A far cry from hearing from people “What’s up, big guy?”
