Have you ever been on tv, the radio, or in your local newspaper before? Tell us about it! If not, tell us about someone you know who has. Yep, I've been on television when I was 5. We went to Chicago and I was on the Bozo show. I went with my Brownie troop, though I don't remember much. As for the newspaper, this is going to take a bit of history. My parents divorced when I was two, and my father didn't come around much. When I was 17 I went searching for him, found his mother's house and a few weeks later, I met my father. The relationship was short-lived. He would come in and out of my life for a few years, but never anything steady. In 2001, not long after buying the house I live in now, I happened to be going through the newspaper. I skimmed the page where there was an article about a new local business. I looked at the picture, didn't recognize anyone, and then I noticed the names. And there it was, in bold black staring back at me. My father's name. I didn't even know he was living here again. And in the same damn city no less. My father was a truck driver out of California and hardly ever had a route through Michigan. To learn he was back, living here, in the same damn city and he hadn't bothered contacting me really annoyed the hell out of me. I still have that newspaper article. No idea why. He's long since passed away. But there's my story.
