I consider myself a lucky reporter when I get to do a light feature story. I’m usually assigned to murder, mayhem, scams or schemes. It’s always been that way. But not today.

Day 3: Planning Day
I had a feeling this would happen when I decided to chronicle 100 Days of TV News. I’ve been given what my bosses at WYFF News 4 refer to as a “planning day.” That is, no on-air reporting. No electronic news gathering. Just a day to sit at my desk and develop promotable stories for the sweeps month of November.

Day 2: The Egg Lady
Today’s assignment took us to Honea Path where Donna Putney raises “free range” chickens. The question before us was, are local egg producers seeing an increase in sales because of the nationwide egg recall?

100 Days of Television News
My biggest regret as a TV reporter is that I haven’t documented my travels very well. It’s a shame, because in 26 years, I have been almost everywhere, and I’ve seen almost everything.

Much Ado about Clouds.
My wife and I were in our car last weekend when we came across the most awesome display of clouds. She’s a cloud-lover. A regular student of clouds. She loves naming the different types of clouds. And me? It takes something special for me to get all gaga over clouds.

A Clockwork Waller.
To the youngest employees of WYFF4, my high school prom pic is a laugh. But people my age who’ve seen this photo say I am a dead ringer for “Alex” in A Clockwork Orange. I can assure you I was not part of vicious teenage gang that committed random acts of brutality.

Run, Forrest, Run!
I can’t believe I placed in the top ten in the 32nd Annual Reedy River Run. I can’t believe it because it isn’t true. We Wallers stayed near the back of the pack. The. Whole. Time. This was my first sojourn into the organized world of fitness. It was my wife’s second time out. This …

Trash In, Trash Out.
If the TV thing doesn’t work out, I may have a future in food services. Recently, my wife and I volunteered our “talents” at Wade Hampton High School’s spaghetti dinner fundraiser. This and other events helped raise $150,082.36 for Camp Spearhead in Upstate, South Carolina. The only thing that isn’t clear is how we got …

Matisyahu for Beginners.
Two things happened in Atlanta this weekend, the second of which I wasn’t expecting. First, my wife and I scored major “parent points” with our daughters by taking them to their first real concert. We planned the trip more than two months in advance. The $120 outlay for tickets was our pleasure. But what I …

Was That Tim I Saw?
Over the summer, I received a flurry of emails at work from viewers who wondered if “that was Tim Waller they saw” on Dr. Charles Stanley’s Sunday morning TV broadcast. “If that wasn’t Tim, it sure looked like him,” said one. “I’m pretty sure I saw Tim and his wife on In Touch,” said another. …
