CG to WDAY and Fargo Update
Christopher Gabriel | Jun 04, 2009 | Comments 8
Greetings to all of you! I don’t normally put personal messages on Blog Harbor but with so many wonderful emails sending good wishes to me and my family as we transition to Fargo, I wanted to give everyone a quick update. To me, this is a far better way to reach out to everyone as opposed to a bulk email.
The first installment of The Christopher Gabriel Program – seems funny to type in what amounts to a version of Third Person – will indeed be on June 8. I can promise you the show will be fun, interesting and a good mix of current events (we’ll call this “The Buzz”), entertainment, family, sports . . . pretty much most anything is on the table. The only thing you won’t hear is angry, political talk. That’s not to say we won’t broach the occasional major issue. We will. But I’d like you to think of this program as a talk show version of Cheers: It’ll be interesting, it’ll be fun, we’ll definitely have some laughs and everybody is welcome.
On the family front, we’re in the hunt for a house. So far we’ve found a few real possibilities. Please send good vibes to our cool city hard by the Red River as living in a hotel is fun for our daughters – an indoor pool with a slide is a beautiful thing – but eating out day after day gets old. Fast. Real fast.
The people up here – as I’ve said on the air and to anyone who’ll listen – could not be more welcoming and delightful to me and my family. It’s all been more than we could ask for and to everyone in the Fargo-Moorhead area who’ve already touched our lives, thank you for inviting us into your home, literally and figuratively.
Finally, you do not want to miss the first program on Monday. My guest will be . . . let’s just say he’s a household name from a big-time, primetime show on network television.
Best regards,
Christopher

Run! Run for your life! He’s going to eat those people!
UGH! The horror!
What? It’s just a statue? Oh. Disregard.

Terri —— statue? What are you talking about? That thing chased me for two miles!

They grows um big out there (or the people are just really really little)

Bison are totally on my radar right now for some reason. I just discover that there’s a Bison ranch north of L.A. that raises completely grass-fed bison.

Think of the burgers you could make with that sucker…
[Reply]
Wow can you imagine the steaks that would come from that baby! Come on where’s the ole pioneer/wipe out a species spirit?

I feel like I’ve been there before…maybe on a past vacation or something. I know that I HAVE been to North Dakota before. I don’t hear much about the weather in N.D….how is it there?
[Reply]
The weather, I’m told, is both delightful and volatile. It gets brutally cold at times during the winter…but so does Minneapolis. And it gets quite hot in the summer…but so does Minneapolis. So, nothing new to adjust to in that regard. More than anything, the wind seems to be a constant. Daily. Hourly. Minute-by-minute. The one sobering fact is the flooding. This year was extreme, but apparently it’s a fact of spring in one form or another most every year.

That’s good that it’s not a huge change. At least you won’t have to invest in a complete new wardrobe.

I can tell how excited you are about this new venture in life. And you should be! You’ve earned this. I hope you find the right house and soon!
You can count on me being one of your fans! Just one thing … What time do I tune in?
[Reply]
Hey Terri…. My program is weekdays from 9 to Noon Central Time. Glad you’ll be listening…and anytime you want to call, please do! This will be a caller-friendly program!!

Many thanks for the update, Cobber! This powerful alignment of your many planets disoriented two of my fish, but they’re OK now.
All of us here at Empire House (excluding the aforementioned fish, who have asked for more time before responding) wish you every success.
Best regards, P.

I actually like your adding personal commentary. Best of luck. Glad all the warmth of good neighbors is there – you’ll need it in January
I will try to catch the show on the internet.

I can’t possibly communicate how happy and proud me, PhillyKaren and the PhillyGirls are for your success! I’ve been bragging about it to all my PhillyFriends. On June 1 Conan made his debut on the Tonight Show, but next week, on June 8, that will be the day always to be remembered in media history as the day the Christopher Gabriel Program was born.
Jeez, and I remember when you were that gawky teenager who couldn’t hit a ball out of the infield and now look you.
[Reply]
Sounds like your program will be fun! I’ll have to check it out!
[Reply]
I’ll definitely be tuning in at work! Can’t wait to hear you tomorrow. It’s gonna be awesome.
