First of all, I want to say Welcome Aboard to all the Newbies who have found Tammy Blog after watching the C-Span “On Depth” program this weekend.

Well, I’m finally home from my trip back east. I must say, it was an eventful trip. After my C-Span appearance yesterday, Tammy Blog traffic has gone through the roof, and I’ve seen all of your comments here. I just want to say thanks to everyone for taking the time to find me on the web, and for the wonderful comments.

In addition the comments here on the blog, the webmaster says he’s only now catching up with all the emails that have arrived as well. While I can’t promise to get back to everyone, I want you to know I’ll read your letters and can’t thank you enough for the support.

I also want to mention, for those of you who missed part of the program, or can spread the word for more to see it, BookTV will repeat my “In Depth” Saturday, September 9th at 9am ET.

My trip consisted of first presenting my show live from the Maryland State Fair. Held in Baltimore, it was a great opportunity to connect with all the great Tammy Radio fans who listen t the show on WVIE, The V 1370. It was great meet all of you.

One of the more surprising events for me was finally meeting someone whose work I admire greatly, and with whom I’ve had a number of conversations. As I was signing my books after the broadcast, and meeting listeners, we were getting to the end of the line and I look up and there was Michelle Malkin, out of the blue. It took me a second to recognize her because she was a little incognito, with a baseball cap on. She must have noticed a little confused look on my face, because she whispered, “It’s Michelle.”https://tammybruce.com/mt/mt.cgi#

I then immediately blow her cover by shouting, “Hey everyone! Look! It’s Michelle Malkin!” I think she forgave me 😉

Well, let me just say, she was gracious and thoughtful, and truly kind to have taken the time to not only come to the little area where we were broadcasting, but it tells you something about someone like that–who could have easily just moved around past the line of people to someone in the back and asked to see me–but she stood in the line. I know that seems like an insignificant thing, but there’s no one else I know in her position who would have done that. It just illustrates how much she’s ‘regular people.’

Thanks Michelle. And it was great meeting you!

After the broadcast, the crew from WVIE and I went over to the Swifty Swine Pig Races. Part of the radio show and my visit with Swifty, the Diving Pig, is now memorialized as “TammyTV.” Sure, I look a little funny dressed in my doing-the-show-from-a-state-fair shirt, but the clips are fun and you can get them here. Sometimes I tell people who like talk radio that seeing it done in person is a little like watching sausage get made–you like the end result but the getting it done isn’t necessarily as fun to watch. But you can make that call.

Now here are just a few pictures of my favorite animals from the fair. The pics are from my trusty Razr phone so the quality isn’t great, but you’ll still be able to enjoy them. For a city girl like me, the fair was great fun, and meeting the animals was just terrific.

After Baltimore, I visited DC for the C-Span program, and went right from the studio to the airport. I have to say, it’s nice to be home. I have Sydney back from the friend who was dog-sitting her, but Sadie, because of the holiday, is stuck with the vet until tomorrow. But then all the Bruce girls will be together.

For you Tammy Radio fans, you know I took Saturday and today off from the show, but I’ll be back tomorrow. And for all of you who are new, if you don’t have a Tammy Radio affiliate in your area, you can listen to the free radio stream during live show hours at Talk Radio Network. Just click on my picture and you’ll get your stream options.

And thanks agan to everyone.
