Okay, where did February go?!! I can't believe it's already March. We've been so busy I didn't even notice time passing. But that's good. It means that we're out and about getting the stories you love to see. At least I hope so. I hope you still find the show interesting and occasionally fun. I know I'm still having fun and really enjoying meeting the wonderful people of Oklahoma.

Having lived for a short time in another state, I can really appreciate what fine people live in Oklahoma. People genuinely care about each other. We're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but we Okies do try our best to get along.

And contrary to Hollywood, Oklahoma isn't as backwoodsy as they portrait us. Coming up soon on Oklahoma Horizon, you're going to learn about just how advanced Oklahoma is. From our computer technology to the cutting edge of the aerospace industry, Oklahoma has it all. We are quite diverse. We can take you from the farm to space and back again. Not many states can say that.

We're also going to take you back in time and explore some of our historical roots, from the dust bowl to Route 66 to the Grapes of Wrath. Then we'll see what's bubbling up from underneath. All in an effort to bring you a wide range of topics in this, our centennial year. Feel free to drop us a line and let us know what's interesting in your area. I can't guarantee we'll cover it, but if we don't know about, we certainly can't.

Now we've been pre-empted for a couple of weeks while OETA has their spring festival, but never fear, we will be back soon. If you've missed us, visit our website (www.okhorizon.com) and see what you've missed. It's all there. We're also on their digital channels now even when we're pre-empted. Check your local listings to find out where those channels are.

Well back to the grind (oh, sorry, work) ;-D. Be watching for what's coming up. We're going global again. Rob's been to Mali, Africa so be looking to see how Oklahoma is working there. Keep watching and see you soon!
