Morning Memoir

this morning already I think symbolizes some of the things I've been through over the last three-plus decades because I woke up this morning after a great meal last night where I probably ate him and also to extent not that I drink it all but how old too much of everything not that he's got it bad and until I be able to make it and no matter what the deadline is 6am with exception the absolute latest they can walk in six to talk or start to show let's funny that this morning which is not limited to do this I started thinking about all the different mornings that have been so difficult whether it's a not feeling well or cooking or snow storms or really cold weather all those things are just so detrimental when you gettin up early in the morning and definitely affects your your movement I sometimes think about what it would be like to do this job in a good weather spot in a place like LA or Miami or of course parts of Israel where weather and things like that would not be a factor and you wouldn't have to bundle up on certain mornings and you wouldn't have to have an umbrella to try to balance a little stuff you're carrying and all the other things that are going on at the same time the top question is always when does he Davin and over the years I have come up with a with a standard answer which is either before during or after the show today is clearly going to be one of those afters because we are preoccupied before and the during looks like based on based on some of the stuff that happened overnight it looks like the show is going to be completely full today and after at some point hopefully before midday I'll have an opportunity to stop and daven one of the drawbacks of working in a place that really has only one high quality active studios that I never get a chance to prepare in the studio itself so all my preparation has to be one of the reasons why there's one of the secrets are there's so much music in the first half hour can basically setting up and and preparing for the show or finishing preparations or show during this half hour five minutes after six a.m. good morning everybody my name is the home Siegel welcome to a Friday arif shabbos this is your Jewish moments in the morning radio program [Music] frankly it's almost impossible for someone to believe that one person can do everything that's going on here during the show most people find this very hard to believe that there's nobody here on a regular basis helping me there are times of course that there people have me and I have all teams on certain occasions but that's why this is a very intense draining experience as you can see I mean I completely on for three hours and then at nine o'clock i need at least a few minutes just on wine because it's just like you know it is a draining experience it's it's a stay alert as to every single thing that's coming up and the clock and to make it part of you is very hard have a fabulous shabbos great weekend until monday now from single reminding you remember the past live the present and trust the future [Music] it is exhilarating every time I mean I joke like so many other people do butt stuff that they love that never worked a day in my life I honestly and truly believe that but i would say about nine o'clock there are two things that happen at nine o'clock nine o'clock is a very draining time like now I feel now it's 925 as we speak now I feel I'm sort of getting back to myself I'm now in touch with myself about how hungry I am right now about you know which I was not thinking about certainly not an hour ago maybe not even a half hour ago now I feel hungry I'm getting to the regular day i'm off from that high and it's draining you know i think i have proven just from you observing me for three hours that it is a fun-filled action-packed show that is never stopping that you're never did you never stop being on you're always on always thinking of the next step and always trying to you know stay a step ahead so it's a very draining experience via theatre in the show and you asked about pressing that button because of the way I am every time I press that button at 9am every single time I have some regret and I'm careful the way I say it because it's not a real regret but there's something going through my head about what could have been different about this morning show this morning show is solid but i am telling you that i have been thinking or subconsciously making myself aware over the last 25 minutes of things that could have been different this morning of things i could have said differently of questions i could have asked differently and certainly of things that happened during the show musical selections etc that I could have either presented better or done differently and that that happens to me every single time that's a constant ya nah
