My Fellow Houstonians:

Greetings.  Today I had the privilege of meeting and visiting w/Lanny at the Fox26 studio.  It was a very pleasant experience being able to talk to him one on one.  I can't say enough how wonderful all of you at Fox26 are and just being so down to earth.  It's a great feeling knowing that not only do they deliver the most up to date news, weather,  and traffic but at the same time they care about their viewers whether it's one on one conversations, blogs, phone calls, etc.  Lanny, thank you for making my visit to the studio a great experience!

GDub.

Geedubya... hold on, I'm trying to check on the decontamination process when you come into contact with hazardous materials... is it rinse with bleach, then water... or water then bleach... you didn't shake hands with him did you. OMG, you better hurry up and find some antibacterial sludge and spread it all over!

OK, fine, I'm just kidding... I sit across from Lanny, next to Tom Zizka and diagonal from Greg Groogan. We call ourselves the old folks wing. We are loud, bitter, cynical, grumpy, poor and beaten down by life. We work hard and laugh a lot! That's what makes it not seem like a job.

SC, they are the Best!

Patty,

Lanny did mention that you had the bomb squad on standby, LOL! The only thing that concerned me was the amount of base makeup that he had on his face. It looked a little uneven as far as comparing the left cheek(facial, lol) to the right. Just Kidding, Lanny! I was surprised to find him taller than me seeing how the majority of the time he's on television that he seems much shorter. Guess it's b/c they usually dont view the whole Lanny vs the all the time "partial Lanny."

In all seriousness, it was a true pleasure meeting him.

GDub.

It's Tuesday evening and I am just now seeing this blog/talk back. Jeez!! I slapped some basic powder on my face Monday cause I was sunburned from the weekend, did I mention I was in my pool all weekend,,,, and tv cameras are SO harsh that a " healthy glow " looks more like a day at 3 Mile Island. But in daylight that powder stuff looks like plaster of paris. But hey. I don't think about having make up on since it's daily part of the biz.....es[pecially when you aging in front of the camera like say.......Pattie.
But I digress. Gee thanks for swinging bye. That was so cool and so rare that I was still there when you hit the front door. As I told you I skipped out of my 9 o'clock meeting when the receptionist called and said you were here.
As for the bloggers picnic, it is still very much in the works and it will happen if I have to have everyone over to my house, damn-it! Or we can meet at Pattie's, right honey bun???

GW-they are the BEST-I've met some of 'em myself-couldn't ask for a more friendly group of people. I was kind of "star struck" when I was in the studio (LIVE) in November, but Jose and Sibila made me feel right at home--I spoke to Erin, saw Tom going into the make up room (LOL) saw Mike across the room doing weather in front of a blank screen (that was weird!)

Then in December, I met Ziska--he did my interview with Sibila-and once again, I was made to feel at ease and right at home. Not a single person acted like they were "T.V. personalities?"--all of 'em were down to earth-even the camera man was very friendly and easy to talk too!!

In defense of Lanny's makeup LOL-I think everyone there has to to their own make up right Lanny??

Just FYI, Discovery Green is the new park downtown, across the street from George R Brown on Avenida de las Americas. Do you have all the other info?
