#NAHJ18

I will be spending the first half of the day at the NAHJ convention and the second half driving the 6 hours back to the FTVLive World Headquarters. 

When you start your day at 2AM and it likely would end to almost 10PM, it makes for a long day. 

But, today the floor opens up at NAHJ here in Miami and it is expected to be packed. A lot of people started arriving yesterday and went through registration.

I got to run into a few people that I knew and meet some new people which is always nice. 

At one point I was sitting in a chair, answering some email on my phone when this guy came up to me and said, "Scott, how are you, do you remember me?"

I looked at his face and it looked very familiar, but I could not place the name for the life of me. He looked very much like a guy I used to play golf with years ago in New York. But, then he said, "you and I worked together." So, I knew that ruled out my golf buddy, since he didn't work in TV news. 

I told this gentleman, "give me a second and it will come to me." It did not and I told him, "I give up."

"I'm Bill Pohovey" he said. 

Bill Pohovey is the News Director at WPLG in Miami and has been for 20 years. Before that he worked as the Assistant News Director at WSVN in Miami, which is where I worked with him for a couple of years. 

We had a nice conversation for about 7 minutes, which was about 5 minutes longer than he ever talked to me when I worked with him at WSVN. 

No wonder why I didn't remember.
