I was excited and more than happy to have, in May, joined Phil
Bayly of Channel 13 News for the Capital District Region in NY to talk about
Celiac Disease and being gluten free. Whenever
there is any chance to speak out from a public platform and raise awareness
about the reality of Celiac Disease, I mic-up, practice dulling down my
expressive hand gestures, do a couple of rounds of “ow, now, brown cow” and the
“arsonist had oddly shaped feet” (Anchorman, the movie) vocal warm-ups (I
seriously considered doing some at the studio, but figured it might not make
the best first impression), and start talking! Although there was so much more
I wanted to say and talk about, I was glad to have had the opportunity, and was
impressed that this news station has stepped-up to give a voice to our
community!
For those of you who watch Channel 13 news and Phil Bayly, I
like to call him Philly Philly Bay Bay (no I don’t, but I’ve always wanted
to!), he is just as friendly and smooth talking in person as he is during his
morning news segments and banter with weatherman Paul Caiano! Also, after
arriving at the studio and meeting him, I realized that you never see a news
anchor’s shoes during broadcasts!!! I will forever now be distracted during the
news.
Be well,
Lacey

might need it, without you having to do all the work. Feel free to share!
