The revolving door in the TV business will never end. People come and go. Sometimes though, it hurts a little more to say goodbye. After several years of working with my favorite sidekick Todd "the Todder" Borek... he's leaving. Last night we said goodbye on My Z Ten O'Clock news.

Despite all the times I made fun of Todd, threatened physical violence and threw things at him in the weather center (all in fun, I promise), I am truly sad that he is gone. We were good friends and he was a great all-around person. Todd is the kind of guy who never raises his voice, never has an unkind word to say about anyone and always has something positive to say (even in the worst situations). We had fun working together and he always made me laugh.
The 10 o'clock news just will not be the same without him. I never knew what he was going to say or do and it kept me on my toes. So whoever comes along is going to have some big shoes to fill. I say that because Todd wears a size 12 shoe. Just kidding. However he has been wearing the same pair of boots for the past 14 years. That's so "Todd".
Even though he will be missed, I'm also very proud of him. He's very excited about his new job at our sister station in Lexington, KY and he's getting married in August. If you follow my blog, you'll remember that he's marrying our 11pm producer D'Arcy. She's also brought a lot of happiness and positive energy to our newsroom. She swept in here like a breath of fresh air and not only did she steal Todd's heart, but she stole ours too! So they are leaving to begin their journey through life together. We're losing 2 great friends, but they've gained each other and that makes it all worthwhile. Congratulations Todd and D'Arcy, you will be missed.
