A Morning Show Test Drive

Call it a summer vacation from blogging, but not from work.   The past few weeks have been the longest I've been away from updating my blog since it started five years ago.   The online masses haven't been waiting on the edges of their seats for my return, but it's become a habit of mine that defies complete explanation.   I attribute the hiatus to being sleep deprived a lot lately, but I blame more of that on a bone spur in my left hip than anything else.   It's not like this is the first time I've ever done a morning radio show.   This will have been my third week covering the morning show on the New 100.9 Roxy FM (WKNL/New London).    The show feels like a "test drive" since I've expressed interest in full-time status, but realize that they are considering other applicants.   I await word from management soon as to whether this temporary assignment will become permanent.    This still new format targets 25-44 year old women.   While I'm not close to that age group (nor of that gender), I've felt pretty good about sounding relatable enough and keeping the show elements moving along and focused on the music mix.   So I'll just keep the presentation "bright and tight" on Roxy FM while maintaining what I do with my direct mail advertising sales.   An actual vacation would be nice, too.
