Hi all-

I know it's been a while.  With Roggin & Simers Squared off the air, I have now returned to a normal life.  I'm back to my 10-key working as an accountant and that's okay with me.  I check in with Fred every now and then through email and he's always got some new project that he's working on.  Thankfully my dad and I are no longer co-workers and have found our way back to having the best father/daughter relationship of anyone I know.  I was thrilled to see that Ginger Chan is now doing traffic on tv.  Since the show's been off the air, I've taken a bit of a break from my sports watching.  Would you believe I haven't seen all four quarters of any Laker game this season?  And as for the Dodgers and Angels - are they playing?  I did follow USC basketball - love Tim Floyd and Dad and I made our annual trip to Vegas for the first and second rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament.  And I can definitely promise that my mini sports vacation will come to an end when football season comes back around.

As for any other news, I really just wanted to mention the big Scully and Wooden event on June 13th at the Nokia Theater.  I can't wait.  It's really going to be a night to remember....and to top it all off it's for such a great cause.  I think Wooden is one of the most amazing people I have ever come across in my life and I'm not even talking about what he did on the basketball court.  His outlook on life is something I would like to emulate.  And Scully's voice is so familiar to me but I'm looking forward to learning a little more about the man behind the microphone on June 13th. 

Anyway, this whole blogging every day thing didn't work out so well for me.  I guess I'm more of a blog every six months or so kind of girl.  But for any of those who listened to us and still see Fred on tv and read my Dad on page two and wondered what's happened to me, I'm still laughing - louder than ever and looking forward to an historical night on June 13th!  I hope to see you there.  Check out ticketmaster.com for tickets.

Hi all....yes, RS2 is no more.  I got the news last Wednesday, was pleased to hear that we would be able to do one last show together (I'm big on closure) Thursday morning and then flew off to Maui for a previously planned vacation. 

I'm now back from Maui and have three months to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.  Thank you to everyone that has emailed and posted comments - I plan on responding to all of you over the next week.  I will miss the mornings with my guys.  What an amazing 11 months - the people I met and interviewed, the wacky conversations we had and the time spent with my dad - all worth it in the end.  I was getting used to the idea of the show ending in December (that was the original agreement - 14 months - and I could tell my dad just wasn't really feeling up to signing up again) - but things did end a bit too soon for me.  I plan on blogging from time to time for a while - I figure I'll need an outlet for all the opinions that I can no longer share on air.  I'll let you all know what the future holds for me....just as soon as I know.

For now, the very near future holds a day of tailgating and football at the Rose Bowl.  Go Irish!  (Although, as a result of the show, I had an opportunity to get to know Karl Dorrell and I know that a UCLA loss to Notre Dame would be disastrous for his program and I don't want that.  And heck what's one more loss for us (ND) this year?...maybe I'll just cheer for a close game but hope that Karl's troops pull it out in the end)

So I mentioned on the air that I thought maybe I should give this whole S factor/pole dancing craze a chance in an attempt to stop being the girl all the guys want to be FRIENDS with.  Mike at Tri Center MMA & Fitness in Lake Forest heard me and sent me an email inviting me to try out their pole fitness class.  With Mike calling my bluff I had no choice but to strap on my stripper shoes and give the pole dancing thing a shot.  In case anyone from the FCC is reading this, I was a good little radio host and paid for my one-time trial class.

The other girls in the class weighed about 80 pounds, had long hair, short little shorts, tank tops and a variety of cute stripper shoes (leopard print, red patent leather).  I on the other hand was wearing my soccer shorts, sports bra, wife beater and tennis shoes - my TJ Maxx stripper shoes were in my backpack.  After changing shoes, the class began and I found out that if you're uncoordinated and out of shape putting three inch heels on does not magically make those traits go away - it makes them worse!  I teetered my way through the beginning moves, thrilled when part of the warmup consisted of writhing around on the floor because it meant I was off my feet.  Then it came time to face the pole.  I never knew an inanimate object could be so scary.  As I bravely attempted the mini routine, the instructor kept reminding me to watch myself in the mirror.  I wanted to tell her that watching myself in the mirror would just make me laugh which would kind of kill the mood.  

Will I try it again?  Absolutely...after another shopping trip to TJ Maxx for stripper clothes!
