I witness

You may be a local celebrity, thousands may see and adore you on TV, but be aware: That seemingly enviable position is both a blessing and a curse. I saw you in the liquor store, denying your son his Popsicle pleadings while you marched undeterred to the back of the store in search of a bottle of wine. “You have Popsicles at home,” you screamed at the boy while you grabbed a bottle of chardonnay and hoisted it aloft to admire its contents, artificially highlighted by the store’s fluorescent lights. Remember, a televison personality in Chico is never off the air.
