I’ll Bet I Can
Ever have one of those nights where you just can’t sleep? That was me a week or two ago. So, instead of just tossing and turning through the wee hours, I did what any rational New Yorker would do: I got dressed at 5 AM, so I could hit the Plaza by 6, and have a good place to stand when the Today Show starts taping at 7.

Even getting there when I did - and even wearing my tiger ears for better visibility - I couldn’t get close enough to the action to spot myself when I watched the thing from home later that day.
(Who loves DVR? I do. Yay.)
Looking back now, if getting air-time was my goal, I see all the things I could’ve done better. And there were loads.
MARK MY WORDS: I’m going back. Once per week for as long as it takes. The goal? Get Al to talk to me live on air. Keep an eye out… I’ll keep you posted… game on!
In somewhat related news, in looking through some of my favorite Today Show clips this morning, I couldn’t find the one where Meredith Viera gets stuck in a giant clam. A little help please…

I’ll bet you can’t!

Mind over matter my friend. If talking to Roker is what you want, talking to Roker is what ye shall have.

Um, they always go for the Ohio housewife who drove all night to hold up a sign for her grandma. You’re going to need one hell of a costume.

Snitches get stitches. You probably shouldn’t have thought this one out loud young sir.
