Stick to what you know

Yesterday we had lunch at one of my favorite plate lunch places, Spot's Inn. It's on Dillingham Blvd. where an old Diner's restaurant used to be. One of the things Spot's is famous for is their Teriyaki Garlic Chicken, probably my favorite dish there. But I felt adventurous and ordered something different. Another friend suggested I try the broasted chicken, so I got the Mega Plate, a combination of broasted chicken, teriyaki pork, and hamburger steak. While it all tasted good (and made me full beyond belief), I think I'll be sticking to my usual next time.

Also, on Thursday I produced my first of two spec news pieces for Hawaii Public Radio, and it turned out pretty good. I'm a bit rusty on the whole voice thing (it's been a couple of months since I did any actual voicework), so I have to work more on my "public radio" delivery. Let me tell you that it's vastly different than that of commercial radio.

Anyway, the news director isn't sure when she's going to run the story, considering I'm not actually on the news staff and such. But she thinks it's good enough to run and good for the community (my story talks about a Hawaiian quilt exhibit that's currently on display at the Mission Houses Museum). So I'm hoping it'll run sometime next week. Maybe I'll even find the time to post it here for your listening pleasure.
