Here’s a new head shot from a photo taken last week while I was on vacation.  Should I keep it or go back to the other?

Message from Jody Mac

To the hundreds of my fans and friends who have attempted to call me, and the thousands that have attempted to e-mail me, I thank you all very much. As you have probably heard by now, I needed to have quadruple bypass surgery. The procedure to this point has been a success. I now start the process of healing and getting better. This was way too close of a call, and will serve as a wake-up call for me. I am hoping to be back, talking Phillies pennant race, Eagles good September start, and all things Philly sports before you know it. Thanks for the support you have shown my show during my absence, and I would appreeeciate it if you continue in that vain.
    I would love to reply to everyone individually, but I am just not up to the task. But know, your concern makes the fight I am fighting a little easier everyday.
                                            Talk to you soon…
                                                Jody Mac

Stormy Relations Between Bolaris and Stensland

According to newsroom sources things are “awkward to say the least” between Fox29 news anchor Dawn Stensland and meteorologist John Bolaris.

Bolaris, who previously worked with Stensland’s husband Larry Mendte at NBC10 seems to be squarely on “Team Lane,” as it was reported that he helped Fox29 reporter Dave Schratweiser secure an interview with Alycia Lane’s attorney Paul Rosen after Larry Mendte’s court appearance on Friday.

Bolaris has also previously spoken out again Mendte who pleaded guilty to a felony for illegally accessing Lane’s email.
