Dr. Matt Bradley is amazing.

I mean, did you see the story (airs Thursday 5pm.. and will be available on-line after that in our video section)???

I'm super impressed.

He also has a pretty cool robotic prosthetic leg with a little computer in it that helps him stay on his feet for his 100 hour work weeks!!

And, I should probably say HI to his wife who totally watches channel 8. Dr. Bradley and I joked that we should concoct a story about me that I was just a high-maitenance terror to work with and he'd tell his wife that the shoots were just miserable. :-)

Of course, the shoots went WONDERFULLY. The families were so gracious to let us peek in on their lives, and his work in the legislature is so worthy of sharing.. the Senate vote is next possibly in a few weeks; that's my understanding now that his bill has moved out of the senate committee hearing (unanimously, might I add, just like the house!!).

Oh, oh... Shriners Hospital. Let me give you that link:

That place is doing some incredible work. There were kids there from all over the place.

Here's the official history behind the Shriners (check out the Shriner's primer-- who knew!!): http://www.shrinershq.org/Shrine/

And here is the unofficial wikipedia version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Arabic_Order_of_the_Nobles_of_the_Mystic_Shrine

Another hint on Monday's 5pm story:
