Ham Wow

Aside from the obvious benefit of raising money for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, one of my favorite things about the Star 102.1 Radiothon is the chance to visit with the local news anchors who stop by to help out. Beth Haynes, Robin Wilhoit, Russell Biven and John Becker are all scheduled to attend on Friday.

On Thursday, I got to chat with meteorologist Todd Howell and the one and only Abby Ham. The happily married Ms. Ham has always understood that my blog entries about her have been well-intentioned and in good humor. She returns the favor by pretending to flirt with me on the radio and, as of the other day, on Twitter. Her friend, sportscaster Kris Budden, met her at West Town Mall to go to a movie.

It’s hard to tell if Abby’s Facebook fans understand our history. She posted that I was “dreamy” and someone responded that “married women shouldn’t look.” Abby wrote that the dreamy comment was a joke and several more people agreed that the first guy was being too serious. I pointed out that my wife saw the humor in it. In fact, when I showed her the iPhone photo that Abby put online, I was hoping my wife would think I looked tall. Instead she said I looked like a father sending his daughter off to college. C’mon! I know Abby looks young but she ain’t that young!
