Well, I guess the cat is now fully out of the bag.  In case you haven’t heard from Uncle Barky or little Timmy, I won’t be doing the Team Traffic thing anymore on Fox 4 after this month.  And let me just reiterate that I really really really enjoy being a part of Good Day and Fox 4.   I mean, come on, I work with my best friend from college (Chip Waggoner), get to make crazy eyes to Megan Henderson in person, annoy the best stock market mogul/weather guy in Dallas (Evan) and learn sarcasm from the master (Tim).

Who wouldn’t want that job?

The problem was the hours.  And before you say, “Boo hoo, Todd has to get up early”, Hey man! I don’t mind getting up early. It’s just the getting up and then staying up and working two jobs to make ends meet.  The traffic gig was just part-time.  I tried to convince FOX to do traffic during  Regis and Kelly but for some strange reason, they wouldn’t go for it.  I’m tired of coming home at 6pm and seeing my kids for 2.5 hours and then going to bed.  And being a single dad with twin 14 year old boys is enough to wear anybody out.

I’m tired of being tired.

When this opportunity opened up for me to do something that I really enjoy and still be comfortable,  I felt like I had to jump on it.

Am I going to miss being on TV?   You bet. It’s a rush and I was lucky to be part of a group of people that I will truly miss seeing in person every morning.

Just not at 5am.
