God, Spouse, & Children....in That Order

When Melinda Spaulding, anchor at Fox 26 Houston, asked me what I think of that prioritization (her mother's quote) she caught me off guard. After a moment of reflection, I agreed with her and praised her mother for her insight.

Not all the Book Tour interviews were that intuitive, but each was an unforgettable experience.

When Monica Malpass invited me to WPVI in Phili, I had no idea that we would be shooting the interview outdoors on a 95 degree day in June (photo by Zahava Singer). The camera man only had to stop twice and ask...."Dr. Singer, would you like to wipe the sweat off your forehead before we continue? Then Monica worked her editing magic for what I believe is a terrific segment on family size decisions. As much as I was sweating, taping is a much more relaxing experience than a live interview.

Dr. Singer Discusses Delayed Childbearing on Fox 26 Houston

Please click here to see Dr. Singer on Fox 26 TV - Houston describing his Delayed Childbearing column.

The Press Release on my Delayed Childbearing column attracted the attention of the producer of the Morning Show in Houston. My brief appearance on the show had an interesting start.

Do you remember the old routine...."You know you're going to have a bad day when........i.e. The Sixty Minutes Television crew is waiting for you as you arrive at your office"? Well, in Houston...at 7:30 am, it went like this: You know you're going to have a rough day, when you arrive for a TV interview at Fox, and the Fox helicopter is following a car on the freeway being chased by Police. And what's more, that freeway is smack next to the TV station. I knew there was a chance that I would be pre-empted.

Lucky for all, the chase ended after 45 minutes, and there was 1 arrest and no serious injuries. I went on Fox26 as scheduled and in my shortened time allotment, still managed to describe the main points of the column.

Due to the shortening of the segment, the anchors did not have the opportunity to ask two excellent questions on their script: Why do you appeal to the parents of young adults, instead of the adults themselves? and When do you suggest that newlyweds start a family? Oh well, there's always next time.

Let me know what you think. AS
