Apparently I am inspirational


I never signed up to be inspirational. It's not my job. It's too much pressure. But if people tell me I'm inspiring them I accept it because there's only two people I want to expire and those are my kids so if strangers and acquaintances tell me that inspirational I accept it as a compliment.

it all started with NYRR featuring me here. that triggered  this on News 12. 

That said the GBS Foundation asked me if it was okay if they referred me to a reporter from the New York Post.The reporter was very nice to me as was the photographer who I met separately. I was hesitant to talk to anyone from the post because they are a rag that made me look like a dirtbag 11 years ago. But here's the story as published in Microsoft News so you don't have to click on a Rupert Murdoch link.

then it seems someone at news radio 1010 wins read the post story about me and wanted to put me on the radio. That was pretty exciting because I was very busy this week as an inspector at  early voting location in Brooklyn Borough Hall.  i'm told that my pol site was featured in this news article but I was too busy to even know that the camera crew was in the room with me.  also there was a little piece of me that thought I was going to be live on the radio. I had a scheduled 3:30 phone call with the reporter and I felt pretty cool asking my boss to make sure I can have my lunch break at that time because I needed to be interviewed for the radio. But we spoke to for 15 minutes and it was recorded and it boiled down to this news story

I never heard of Wide Open Country, but apparently they have a writer who moved some of the words around in the post article and created this about me

and WNBC news gave me a call and showed up at the Achilles workout on Thursday evening and made this little clip.

And hey I just remembered before the Brooklyn half marathon news 12 featured me in this

  1. The Post made Richard Moylan look disrespectful by allowing people to traverse the cemetery at > 3mph. They didn't make you look like a "dirtbag"!
