Wow.
I haven't added anything to this blog in over 6 weeks.
Fortunately, some die-hards have continued to add their comments, so the overall content has at least been updated a bit.
I could blog about many a topic on this particular Friday like :
1) I'm going to be a dad this fall... to TWINS!!! I mentioned this already on the air.
I think I need to devote more time though to my thoughts on this. How's this for now... I'm VERY excited!!
*not my wife's stomach, but you get the point.
2) At the request of our internet site manager, Mr. Frank, I now have a MySpace page.
http://www.myspace.com/drewcarney
It's currently pretty weak as far as MySpace pages go. Friends other than Mr. Frank, MySpace founder Tom, and a local actress named Audrey (who I've never met) might help.
3) Recent viewer comments on the Blog.
Let's go with #3, and get back to the others later.
Here's a look at the most recently posted comment on the blog along with my response to this particular viewer (Michael).
By the way, I personally respond to almost EVERYONE who contributes to this blog.

I enjoy watching you but there are some things that really bug me. You are always saying "i don't have much time" which wastes time. And not to mention, we don't really care. Just wrap it up smoothly.
You really don't get much time....you start explaining something and you have to wrap it up. It would be nice to have longer segments. They don't need to keeps replaying the same stories over....

Hey Michael,
Thanks for the suggestion. You know my wife basically made the same comment to me the other night in regards to mentioning on the air about not having much time or how the producer is telling me to wrap... so I know you're not alone in that thought.
My thinking there was that I was just being upfront with the audience... kind of bringing you "behind-the-scenes" so to speak... like, "Hey, this is live, this is real, and as much as I'd like to spend more time on this topic or with this particular guest, the bottom line is there's someone in my ear telling me to shut the heck up."
I'll definitely try be more conscious not to "overuse" this tactic.
Thanks again for watching,
Drew
P.S. Do I dare ask what other things "really bug you"? You mentioned things with an "S" at the end. Keep in mind, I'm having a pretty good Friday, so my good mood is at stake here.
Hi Drew!
I was so disappointed when you were no longer on KATU! When I found out you were on KGW, I am actually watching KGW until you go off the air. [Edited Content]
The morning crew at KATU are my favorite and I hope they realize what they lost when you migrated to KGW.
After reading some of the posts on your blog, it's hard for me to believe there are such "puckered" people in the world. They must be just angry souls.
Best wishes to you, your wife, and the two little pre-Carneys. YOU ARE GREAT!!!
P.S. Share this e-mail with the folks at KATU.
Ooops! I mean KPTV...not KATU
Drew,
Congratulations on the expecting children. My wife and I just had our third in February. Our oldest is 5 and then 3 and now 3 months. It was a big adjustment going to three kids. You will have your hands full.
I agree with one of the other blog responses about making the segment longer. Why is the show done in 30 minute segments and then repeated four times? Can't more emphasis be giving to specific topics and items breaking up the two hours? I would like to see you do two 15 minute segments and really get involved with your story.
You do a great job! I have been a loyal KGW watcher for years. It is good to have you over and see the morning crew laugh. Good way to start the day.
Hey Drew, I too miss you from the KPTV12 morning show but am glad you are with the KGW crew. I watch you guys until 7AM and then go to "the other guys" until 9AM. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your out and about part of the program, keep having fun.
Congratulations! Just a heads up... Im real busy for the next 10 to 15 yrs and will not be able to baby sit...
Keep up the good work.. that didnt sound right.. at work!

I loved your segment today at the pool. Very fun! See you tommorow.
Hey Drew! Your Hot. I love you in the mornings. Your really peppy...are you always like that? Well, I was sad to see you go on channel 12, that's the only reason i watched that channel...they had too many Drew's on that channel anyway, and kgw is a better news group. Thanks for switching. Look forward to waking up with you in the mornings. Thanks.
Don't listen to the negative things people say about you, my family and I use to watch you all the time one KPTV. We enjoy you being up beat and you are not afraid of taking a risk.
Keep up the good work.
Hey Drew!
Wow....just got up, having that first cup of coffee and turned on my favorite news in the a.m. I watch Russ & Brenda every morning. Your spot in the morning has grown on me too! You have so much energy while I'm just trying to get going.
Anyway, OMG! Your babies are beautiful!!! I loved it that you brought them in to the studio. What a great surprise!!! Congratulations to you & your wife.
I love it when we get to see a glimpse of the personal side of your lives. Doesn't happen too often but when it does it's a lot of fun. Thanks!!!
Enjoy the boys! See you soon!
Rose
