If it was an opportunity, I missed it

This is how my luck works.
Here I sit, in the midst of my mid-life crisis, unsure what I want to do with my life. One of the things I thought about doing was going over to KTEH, the San Jose public television station, and offering my services for free to freshen up their creaky and uninspired on-air image. I’ve always wanted to makeover a television station, from logo to IDs to website, and I thought I would give it a try this spring.
And then today, the news came: San Francisco’s KQED is merging with KTEH. They say the stations will maintain their separate identities, but I can imagine that KTEH would benefit from KQED’s design and marketing staff.
Still, I wonder. Is this particular dream silly, or should I call up KTEH and see if they’ll take me up on my offer?
