Jai-Nooooo
You know that good kid who you sort of watch grow-up, doing the right things right and making everyone from his mama to your own abuela proud of ‘em?
My own little brother is out doing well in the world having left the Land of Enchantment quite a few years ago…since he’s been gone I look for and see shades of him in everyone from his doppelganger and fellow axe-man Ryan McGarvey to the fella who’s brought us all so much in the way of investigative journalism, social media awareness, ho-highlarious Facebook posts and a blog o’fire.
Like so many milestones whether it be the time you see your brother graduate from college and move on further into the world or the last time the nation watches a broadcast of a beloved TV veteran, chapters close and new ones begin.
Yup, one of your faves and mine, my adopted TV bro is up and running with mic all the way to Den Co.
After nine years with KOB-TV, Jeremy Jojola will be signing-off to go to bat for a bigger league at KUSA Denver.
Jai-ho won’t be saying his official, “Hasta Luego” until late July so for now take your chance to rib him as much as possible about everything possible here, here & here and know that this homegrown boy will be taking New Mexico with him wherever he goes!
“I’ve been asked over the years why I haven’t left Albuquerque. A big reason is my wife and my love for New Mexico. I got comfortable here. I became attached. I grew roots. My ancestors looked upon the same sunsets and vistas for the past several hundred years. I can almost feel their souls and spirits around this place. Sorry about the cheesy cliché but its how I feel about this state. People who know me know how much I love New Mexico. I found my identity here. I know what enchantment really means.” – Jeremy Jojola
Congratulations Jeremy – all the best to you and Cheryl!
Now who the h-is gonna get me a lock of hair from the mane of Tom Joles?!?!
Anyone, anyone? Antoinette? I’ll trade you a live, personal performance from NM’s Own Vanilla Ice look-alike.
