I had (working overnights in NYC at Mix 105), looking down on the Ave. of the Americas at 3
a.m., exhausted because my newborn wouldn't let me sleep the day before, and smiling because
I knew I was doing what I'd always wanted to and someone in my hometown could hear me do it;
I get the same feeling today. February 2001: a last minute rally to support the troops in
Seaside Heights, NJ packed the boardwalk on an unusually warm day with about 10,000 people;
sitting on top of the WJRZ boom box and seeing the boardwalk filled in the middle of winter
singing God Bless America was a thrill."
