Good day. I hope all is well with you and yours.
As for me, today's a tough day. It's my first shift in a slot previously occupied by the lovely and talented Amanda Putz (or A-Putz as she's known in the New York Yankees organization). For her part, Amanda's doing just fine, working at CBC Radio 2 in Ottawa. And me? Well, needless to say, I have some big headphones to fill.
Now you and I both know that no one on earth is really up for this task (other than Bill Cosby; that man can do no wrong). It's going to be tough. But I think we can get along just fine. It'll be different yes, no doubt. Yet, like any new relationship, I feel that we can make it work together. Sure, there will be times when I long for the warmth and comfort of my former time slot and the early risers who greeted me each day. And yes, I will occasionally say and do things that are sooooo un-Amanda. The important thing here is that we communicate about it. If you're unhappy, why should I be happy? That ain't right!
So, let's try and get through this together shall we? For my part, I'll keep playing the exact same kind of music Amanda played. Exactly. The rest, I'll make up as we go along. It'll be fun, you'll see.
Thanks,
vk
