EDDIE DANIELS – Yesterday I presented you with Exhibit A in the case of Fred v. Love of Coffee.

Ladies and gentlemen of the court, I now present Exhibit B. I think you’ll agree the evidence is overwhelming: Fred likes coffee, and it makes for great video.

EDDIE DANIELS – This afternoon Lisa and I were in Hershey for the annual PAB (Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters) Awards. WJTL was up for (and received) two awards: Outstanding Website (and yes, this was before our big website overhaul!) and Outstanding Program Designed for Kids.

I was happy to accept the award for our website and Lisa accepted on behalf of the Kids Cookie Break! It was fun meeting other people from a variety of TV and radio stations from across the state! Here’s a quick video of Lisa and I accepting the awards for WJTL. Is it just me, or do I look scared to death? Just for the record, I wasn’t…I think I was more concerned about whether or not there would be coffee refills.

There was.

EDDIE DANIELS – This morning I made coffee.

That’s nothing new, as I’m usually in the office around the same time The Get Up and Go Show is under way, and I usually start the first pot of coffee around 6:20.

I think this morning’s coffee was extra-good, as Fred felt inspired to draw a picture for me to express his coffee gratitude. WJTL has a contest going on right now where you get to draw a picture of your favorite Fred song. Phredd’s picture not only incorporates his love for coffee, but also ties in three (count ‘em, THREE!) of his songs.

May I present to the court, Exhibit A:
