Television Debut and New Car

By Scott:

This morning I made my Cayman television debut appearing on the morning talk show Daybreak. We did a five minute live segment where Dr. Cummings and I were interviewed to talk about the upcoming 37th Anniversary of the college, our new marketing campaign and the new staff. I was very nervous but it seemed to go well. The five minutes flew by and it seemed to be over before it had even begun. Our marketing campaign is in full swing and this afternoon I got a call from the Cayman Compass one of the two daily newspapers on the Island and they want to come out and do an interview Monday afternoon. The only bad part about the TV interview was the 5:30 wake up call after leaving work at 11 the night before.

Later in the morning, Katie and I put a deposit on our new car and we pick it up next Tuesday or Wednesday. We bought it from Budget out of their fleet cars. Its a 2004 Daihatsu Charade, about the size of a Geo Metro. We got the insurance and unlike the US you don't pay monthly premiums you pay it all up front. So today was an expensive day.

Tomorrow night we are going to a reception for the tourism ministry. We are counting the days to our move next Saturday.
