While I enjoy blogging very much, some days I'm a little apprehensive about it.  I read, and then re-read what I've typed and wonder how it sounds to people who don't really know me that well.  Sometimes I second-guess my blogs even more, when my-coanchor Brian Allen reads them to me. Out loud. 

Here's how it goes: after the 6 p.m. news, Brian and I leave our desks and work on computers right next to each other in an area known as "the horseshoe" in the newsroom.  It just makes things easier when we're writing the 10 p.m. newscast,  because we don't have to yell across cubicles.  Anyway, sometimes when the work is done, and we have some free moments on our hands, Brian will call up my blog and start reading it back to me.  Except he doesn't read it in his usual KSFY News voice.  Instead, he takes on a British accent and reads it with all of the flair of someone reciting a 16th Century poem.  I admit it's funny....for a little while.  But then, it just starts making me feel weird.  Brian is not phased by this. He'll keep reading until he's read the entire blog. Sometimes he moves on to another one.

I guess it's good to get another take on what I'm writing.  But in the meantime, I might start working on an accent of my own.  I wonder how Brian would react if I started reading his blogs with an Irish brogue.  Perhaps we'll see.
