Too Daze Gone

Since last I posted here, two eventful days have passed. I spent Sunday in the shining Northern Italian town of Bergamo, with the accent on the Ber not the gam (BER-ga-mo). A beautiful town, but the true highlight was driving down the perilous mountain road. Just crazy. The road pictured here is the tame part. It got a lot worse before it got better.

Today (Monday) was nuts in its own way. I spent nearly 5 hours reviewing video of potential show hosts for the channel with a casting agency, an interpreter, my boss Steve Hofmann, and the HR Director Cele (needless to say there were plenty of comments on looks, persuasion, etc). The candidates were remarkably good and what you realize is that the world is a pretty small place. While they were speaking Italian, you generally get the same mix of very good potentials and some very crazies. After looking at well over a hundred candidates, I am convinced that three can be hosts. 18 will get a second look.
