As Turkey Day draws closer, one relatively new Creative Services Director has a sweet reason to be thankful. MARK HERNANDEZ lived all over, his dad being in the Army, but he calls Palmerton, PA home. Go ahead, you can Google it if you want. It’s north of Allenton and not that far from Harrisburg, where Mark has taken the creative lead at Hearst’s WGAL, an NBC affiliate. He’ll be joining family, including his Grandmother, on Thursday and not dealing with the traffic or flying craziness that would have been the case in his former slot, being Assistant Creative Services Director for WBAL in Baltimore. To recap, less traffic, closer to family, great station. Great list for being thankful. A big Well Dunne! to Mark for this first time creative lead.

The boot. No, not losing a job. The boot is that medical device MD’s prescribe for any kind of foot or ankle problem. Odd looking – you’ve seen them. Well, not one but two Well Dunne! Talent voices are wearing The boot this holiday. Up Chicago way, NICK SANABRIA has to be awarded extra points for dealing with cold rain and snow (and that could also be ice) in The boot to fix his ankle. Out in LA, beautiful MOLLY PAIGE is in The boot and not cute shoes due to her ankle injury. No bueno. Luckily, they both have gorgeous, no problem voices.

Think About This:  “True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so, wants nothing. “  ~  Seneca
