BUBBLE'S WHO?
What a day yesterday! I had a chance to hang with "Buckets" from the Harlem Globetrotters, and then fly with Fighter Combat International.
First, the Globetrotters... On January 11th they asked me if I would be interested in playing in a game as a member of the Generals! I said "HECK YES," what a blast that would be! The only problem is the nick name my executive producer gave me... "Bubbles." How the heck could I look tough on the court with a nick-name like bubbles? Buckets wanted to make it a tougher name like "Hurricane Horton," but now it looks like Bubbles is catching on, GREAT! :( Don't forget to look for Bubbles Horton on January 11th, at US Airways Center at 7pm, love to see you there.
After the big morning with the Globetrotters, we were hungry so we made a stop at McDonalds in Mesa... We tried the new Mcburrito, which turned out to be a bad idea. Our next stop was at the Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport, for a flight of a life time! If you are looking for that perfect gift for someone who loves adventure, look no further then Fighter Combat International. Our pilot was Dennis Quaid's brother Clarke, his call name was Otter... That sounds a bit tougher then Bubbles! We took off around 10 am and he had about 8 or 9 aerial tricks that I was even able to try. Just a warning though, do not eat right before the flight! :)
Have a happy holiday everyone, and I hope you have a wonderful start to the new year!
Sincerely,
Paul Horton

Job Swap
If you have a job that you think would be great to share with our viewers, send us an e-mail... I am ready for the challenge!
So far we have done some great things, trading jobs with a barista, a doggy day care worker, and the toughest, a stay at home mom.
Last Tuesday, I was a pizza maker at NYPD Pizza. Boy did I learn a lot! The Zeigler brothers taught me that it’s the little things that make a difference. Did you know they use real New York water to make the dough?!? It's the water, the very fresh ingredients, and the brick oven they use that puts them on top. I think the toughest part of the live shot was learning how to properly throw the pizza, remembering to always keep your hands at 10 and 2 while rotating smoothly. Another tough part was not eating everything I made, I LOVE ITALIAN FOOD and PIZZA! If I worked there, I would be a huge man!
Thanks again to all of you who have e-mailed us with your job swap ideas. One of our next ones, is job swapping with Arizona’s #1 bike repair man.
Email me your idea, Phorton@kpho.com
