SEPTEMBER SURRENDER: DAY TWENTY NINE What I'm Letting Go In a city like New York City, a lot of things can go unnoticed. Or they could be completely noticed, but none of its citizens pay it any mind. Everyone on the street has some place to be, or they're awaiting for something to find them.…
sEPTEMBER SURRENDER: DAY TWENTY EIGHT What I'm Letting Go I've been on a rocky road all my life. I feel like I've always struggled, even though circumstances around me would point to anything but that. I had a good home life growing up. Both my parents worked together from home before it was cool, so…
SEPTEMBER SURRENDER: DAY TWENTY SEVEN What I'm Letting Go There's a very quick turnaround time in the news industry. People are constantly in and out of their positions, switching things around in pursuit of new opportunities, or better ones. I can't say what it's like for those in front of the camera, but the production…
SEPTEMBER SURRENDER: DAY TWENTY SIX What I'm Letting Go I haven't really been listening to a lot of music lately. Even when I drove to New Hampshire, I listened to audio files of those two funny boys who once played video games together a decade ago. I've watched them a million times before, so I…

SEPTEMBER SURRENDER: DAY TWENTY THREE What I'm Letting Go I've never really been a "social events" kind of person. Sure, I've partied, but it was never really at my behest. I'd go if there was something to do. Seeking things out always felt like too much of a hassle. Besides, I've always been more of…
SEPTEMBER SURRENDER: DAY TWENTY TWO What I'm Letting Go We have a 'mentor' program on my show team. My boss pairs people up for a few months so we can get to know people we otherwise wouldn't know. It's a small team regardless, but it's a good idea to see everyone as an individual outside…
SEPTEMBER SURRENDER: DAY TWENTY ONE What I'm Letting Go I used to watch a lot of true crime videos. The stories were fascinating to me, particularly the interrogation footage. It's astounding watching guilty people try to weasel their way out of what they've done, lying to people who catch liars for a living. There's never…
SEPTEMBER SURRENDER: DAY TWENTY What I'm Letting Go I got out of work a little earlier than normal, because we had our morning meeting a little earlier than normal. They don't usually hustle us out, as sometimes I can be there past noon. But today was different. I was a bit more tired than usual…
