Pardon the personal note

... but this is Flower Mound news too.

Congratulations to my wife Susan for being nominated for a Lone Star Emmy. If you didn't know already, Susan is the executive producer of WFAA's Daybreak morning newscast. Daybreak is one of two nominees for the Lone Star Emmy for Best Morning Newscast. The nominations were announced tonight. The Lone Star Emmys will be awarded at a ceremony in Houston next month.

If Susan wins, it would be her second regional Emmy in that category and third overall. She won for WFAA in 2004. (My colleagues at FOX 4's Good Day won last year.) Susan also has an Emmy from the New York Emmy chapter, for best overall newscast in 1993 when she was a news producer for WNBC-TV.

Way to go, kiddo!
