Being new to the blogosphere I just wanted to introduce myself and give a little background as to what brought me here.
My name is Chris Cimino and I’ve been a TV meteorologist for the last 28 years. The last 24 were spent at the flagship station of the network, WNBC in New York City . Nearly 21 of those years were as the early morning meteorologist for Today In New York, the newscast that preceded the Today Show.
Over the years I had the privilege of filling in for Al Roker on the Today Show as well as a two year run as the regular Saturday morning weather caster for the Weekend Today Show.
As of July this year I found myself unemployed for the first time since I was 19 years old. Suffice to say that was a little more than a couple of years ago.
I’ve been through a lot in the last 8 years of my life. Often more than I thought I could handle. As each challenge arose I thought “how am I going to do this?” Somehow I did, and now I have a new one. Unemployment!
I want this blog to share that journey. I know many more of you out there have taken on much more and conquered. I would love to hear those stories as I share mine with you.
As Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull(apologies for those who never heard of them) said in a great lyric, “Life’s a long song…..life’s a long song……if you wait then your plate I will fill.”
