Morning Show Insider: Spending time with the family

DETROITEvrod Cassimy: Another weekend has come and gone and here we are at Monday again! I hope your week is off to a great start. Here’s a recap of my weekend. Friday, I had a live show with my band for a local charity. It was great. Afterwards, we went out for a late dinner at Pizza Papalis in Greektown. Can you say delicious?? Saturday, I took it easy with the family and we hung around the house and did a whole lotta nothing. Sunday after church we had lunch at home and then it was cleaning time to get ready for the new week. Here we are at Monday and after getting a lot of sleep over the weekend I’m ready to carpe diem!

Here’s what we’re working on for Tuesday, March 3rd on Local 4 News Today --
