Hi! My name is Kerri-Lee Halkett, an anchor at Philadelphia's FOX 29. When the station asked me to do a daily blog, and run my own website, I stopped in my tracks-- sure, but how? I went to "Geek School" as my web department called it, and learned fast, and guess what? It's a lot of fun! I've met bloggers from all over, and many even contribute to the site-- like Johnny Goodtimes, and HOTT Nanny. Other bloggers stop by and leave their mark in the comments section, why not become one yourself? Come by often, the site is always open and changing... check it out!-- Kerri-Lee Halkett

Fresh Blogger Love…

feature photo

… for JT.

I love all you KLTV bloggers, you know I do.

But for his sheer dedication and wit– I know you’ll join me in giving a warm round of typing for KLTV Hot List Blogger–  JT.  His prize?  A fresh post about him!

Now let me give it a little context. 

When I was on the Kidd Chris show the other morning, they asked me to send them a picture of the pj’s I was wearing while I was talking to them, and because they were camera-phone friendly, I obliged. 

Hey– my little guy is a sports fanatic, he picked them out and they are *ahem* appropriate to walk around the house in, and when Chris the mailman stops by and rings the bell– I can safely answer it, knowing he thinks I’m in sweats.

But I digress.

Back to JT– he told me he went to great lengths to find the link to the Kidd Chris pj pic on the WYSP website.  He was also kind enough to make me feel good about the picture, despite the fact that it’s an embarrassing shot (no makeup, hair pulled back with a mild touch of bedhead on the right side)

Here’s our exchange:

Me: “Hey– do I get points for showing everyone what I look like without makeup, and my hair in a ponytail in my jammies first thing in the morning? Can you cut me ANY slack JT? LOL”

JT: “Of course you get points for that.

And, points for your blog. And for KLTV. And for all of the subjects you’ve covered here. And for the 5. And the 11. And the 10. And the “Battle of the Bands” on Tuesdays. And for your kitchen. WHENEVER it gets done.And for introducing us to the Nanster.And for your hair. And, even if you go bald.And for the one word blog. And for the cleanup.

I have to take a nap now.

Is THAT enough points ?

And slack ?”

K, I’m back now.  Yes it’s enough points JT, and when you wake up I know you’re going to come right back here and see your brand new entry on the blog, and the smile on your face is my gift to you :)

    http://94wysp.com/pages/1866157.php

    im a giver!

    what can I say.

  3. Yes I did! Thanks

    It’s not so bad, looks better then I do all day…..

  4. I flew in from Florida this morning.

  5. And, boy, are my arms tired.

  6. barrel

  7. You call THAT “bedhead” ?

    Sometimes, the only way I can even out my hair is with a hammer.

    I make an even size bump on the OTHER side of my head to make it look even.

  8. Man, air travel has gotten waaaaaaay more complicated than it used to be.

  9. But, that’s true of a lotta things, ah reckon.

  10. You’ll have to forgive me.

  11. I just finished reading Cormac McCarthy’s “No Country for Old Men”.

  12. The story takes place in Texas.

  13. And I am currently experiencing “Ah Reckon” withdrawal.

  14. Just kidding. It was a good story, by a great author, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  15. Julie Kim (yeah, THAT Julie Kim ! ) introduced me to Cormac McCarthy.

  16. Actually, she introduced me to his writings; I didn’t actually meet the guy.

  17. Where was I ?

  18. Oh, yeah. Air travel in the 21st century.

  19. It used to be, you could walk into any airport, walk up to any airline desk, (with no shirt and barefoot even,) and say….

  20. I wanna fly to LA….

  21. And I don’t wanna be on an airplane….

  22. And they would hook you up.

  23. And you could smoke !

  24. Cigars, cigarettes, tiparillos, even a foot long “El Fido”.

  25. Heck, you could even roll up a newspaper and smoke it if ya wanted to.

  26. And ’bout the only thing anyone would ask you was if you had a light.

  27. It ain’t that way now.

  28. Boarding pass, photo ID….

  29. Then, you walk 12 feet, and show it AGAIN !

  30. I guess the second guy doesn’t trust the FIRST guy ya showed it to.

  31. Either that, or they think you have COMPLETELY changed identities in the time it takes to walk 12 feet.

  32. Either that, or they suspect you of changing identities in the time it took ya to walk 12 feet.

  33. Then, empty your pockets, take off your shoes, take off your jacket…

  34. Dya see where this is heading ?

  35. Dya know how you check your bags ?

  36. Pretty soon, we’ll be checking our clothes, too.

  37. Yep, we’ll all be walking around the airport, buck nekkid.

  38. And, you know what’s next.

  39. People are gonna be buying plane tickets and never getting on the plane.

  40. They’ll just wanna stand in line.

  41. Abd wander around the gate areas and ogle.

  42. This might increase newspaper sales, however.

  43. We’ll have to see. (No pun intended)

  44. In atlanta….
    They made me unbuckle my belt….
    And take it off at the airport.

    I asked for some music to take my clothes off.

    The guy did not smile.

    I said I usually like to go out to dinner first before the clothes come off.

    He still did not smile.

    I tried to make the most of an embarrassing situation.

    As long as he did not break out the rubber gloves I felt safe.

  45. So, then I get on the airplane.

  46. When we were all settled, and in the air, they gave us each a bag of peanuts and a bag of cheese nips.

  47. And, then they asked us what we’d like to drink.

  48. Ya know, I don’t drink too much anymore.

  49. Not like I used to.

  50. I’m not trying to imply anything here , I pretty much don’t hunt anymore either.

  51. I buy a license every year, in case some morning I feel like jumping out of bed, driving 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 hours, and settling a feud one of my ancestors had with a squirrel.

  52. But, don’t tell anyone I said that.

  53. I don’t wanna get kicked out of the NRA.

  54. It’s no fun getting kicked out of anything.

  55. At least, that’s what I HEARD.

    DEWEY ! I didn’t see ya there. In Ft. Lauderdale, the woman that checked ID’s and boarding passes was wearing rubber gloves.

    I guess she was ready for action.

  57. Uh… where was I ?

  58. Oh yeah, on an airplane, a bag of peanuts in hand.

  59. So, I ordered a beer. Peanuts and beer go together.

  60. It was like reuniting Romeo and Juliet.

  61. Or Sonny and Cher.

  62. Ok, maybe not.

  63. But you get the idea.

  64. And, after all, I WAS on vacation.

  65. Somewhere after I got the peanuts but BEFORE I got the beer, they made an announcement that some kid on the plane was allergic to peanut dust and we would have to return the peanuts.

  66. I don’t wanna appear insensitve here… but shouldn’t his mom have said something BEFORE everyone got their peanuts ?

  67. One guy opened his peanuts and ATE them before they came to get them.

  68. They sent him to Gitmo.

  69. When I was growing up, there was a small brook in our section of the city and in the summer when it was hot, we made a Tarzan swing and would swing and swim in the brook.

  70. There were factories uphill and sometimes, they would discharge stuff into the brook.

  71. Sometimes, the banks and the water would be green or orange.

  72. When I go to bed at night, I realize there’s a chance I might wake up with 2 or 3 more heads.

  73. And you know what that means….

  74. 2 or 3 more faces to shave.

  75. And WHO is gonna have to pay for the extra shaving cream and blades ?

  76. Unless I can pin it on the government, I’m on my own.

  77. BTW Jack, you and I are on the HotNanny VIP blogroll.

  78. I don’t know what a blogroll is….

  79. Maybe it’s like an eggroll.

  80. But it’s some kind of an honor.

  81. So, I guess we either on MT Rushmore…

  82. Or we’re on the menu.

  83. Speaking of cleaning up Philadelphia….

  84. The airport parking lot could use some attention.

  85. STAT ! (hiya skinny ! :)

  86. Ya know, I have the utmost faith in Kl.

  87. But, like if this whole cleanup thing was being sponsored by ANOTHER station, with ANOTHER anchorperson in charge….

  88. I’d swear they were dumping all the trash they picked up at the airport parking lot.

  89. JT=Blogger Supreme!!!!!

  96. Well DUH !

  98. They always try to make it sound like you’re gettin’ a deal.

  99. If you drive north on 95 through Philly, there are billboards for an airline (I forget which one)that has Donovan McNabb as their spokesman.

  100. One of the billboards says “Fly with us, and we’ll give you the Donovan McNabb treatment”.

  101. So, I guess they must boo ya.
