Have You Seen How They Make Cars These Days?

It's been over a year since I've been here. Working for Clear Channel takes alot of my time. I now do a blog for the Total Traffic Network site on KTRH's website where my co-workers and I write about events that are "traffic" related, loosely anyway. Today I've blogged about a Ford plant in Brazil. Hope you like it. It's nice to be back with you and I plan on doing a bit more in the future. Stay tuned!

Clear Channel to the rescue!

The drought is over! I will be working for Clear Channel's traffic department(Total Traffic Network), as a fill-in anchor starting Monday. It's a full-time job and I couldn't be happier! Just know that whenever you hear a traffic report on 740 KTRH, 950 KPRC, 790 The Sports Animal, Sunny 99.1, 93.7 The Arrow or 95.7 The Buzz, you'll be getting the most up-to-date information. That's because it'll be coming from me!

Thanks to all those who have been praying for me, keeping me in their thoughts and all the emails to 740 KTRH... The prayers have been answered!!! Look for me to be filling in for Kelly Ryan on KTRH in the next couple of weeks!

I'll stay in touch don't worry.


Your servant,

Italian Expo at the GRB

Hello and welcome to Darby's Alternate Route!


I just wanted to let you know that my family and I went to the Italian Expo at the George R. Brown Convention Center on Sunday. What a fantastic event! Thanks to Spec's Liquors for putting on the event. The expo ran from Friday until Sunday and from the sponsors and volunteers I talked to, Friday and Saturday were jam-packed with people. I'm glad I went on Sunday. I thought it was packed then.

They had everything Italian in there, from dozens of different kinds of cheeses (they had a goat cheese that was my favorite) to sausages, baked ziti, lasagna, chocolates, italian ice creams, proscuito, olive oil, crackers and about 100 different kinds of italian wines. And you could sample them all for free! A good time was had by all! They even had a fashion show which my daughter must've watched three times. All the vendors were very friendly and well educated on all of their products.

I highly recommend this expo the next time it comes to town and want to thank Paul Tilotta at Spec's for the tickets. Paul tells me that Spec's plans to bring back the expo this coming spring. I'll definitely be there and I'll let you know all the info when I get it myself. Coming up is the Festa Italiana in October. I'll have all the information on that good time coming soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks to everyone who came up to me with well wishes. It really means a lot to me.

Talk to you soon,

Darby
