Hi Brian! It is nice to see that you've taken the time to create a profile!

hey Brian, You're cute. (you remind me of my Son) :-) Do you really get paid $$ to have that much fun on WRAL and their website?? Enjoy, I will keep watching.

Something tells me that you are a BBQ fanatic, eh? Were you born in NC?

Hey Brian, enjoy your newscasts. Nice knowing you are here.

Tinu: I definitely am a BBQ fanatic. More specifically, I'm an Eastern NC BBQ fanatic!

I am, indeed, an NC native -- born in Raleigh at the *old* Rex Hospital. Any fellow natives remember where that was located and what's there now?

Thanks Brian, I got a big kick out of your fireworks blog.

Thanks, Halyard! Isn't that great video? I love a good bonfire. Homemade pyrotechnics don't hurt, either.

The old Rex hospital is now the NCESC on Wade Ave. and St. Mary's Street. I spent much of my childhood at the old Rex for various reasons, some of them caused by my idolization of Evel Knievel.

Brian, I too was born at the old Rex. I believe my brother (3 years younger was too), then I think they built the new one a few years later.

Eastern NC BBQ IS bbq. There is no other (no matter what anyone says);-)

Who couldn't idolize Evel?
