I'm a slacker

2017-08-05T19:53:00.002-07:00

I just realized I haven't posted since 12/31/16. Been a busy year so far - hard to believe we're already halfway thru it. I'll try to post more often, I promise... but you can also keep up with me on twitter and facebook!

In the meantime, get caught up on our trip to Germany!

See you soon!

Happy New Year!

2016 was a good year for me. Lots of great new opportunities at work, including one that ultimately didn't happen but was still beyond believable that I was even considered for it. I have a healthy and happy family and we live in a great community. We did some traveling, and saw and did some new things. I have no regrets for 2016. Bring on 2017!

Filling In For The Morning Show

2016-06-05T12:02:00.000-07:00

Had a blast with Porkchop filling in this past week for Max and Shannon. They'll be back on Tuesday.

Here are some things we learned and/or did:

Gave away tickets to Chase Rice
Gave away thousands of dollars with the Song Of The Day
Chop saw a meteor on his way into work, which was likely Buzz's fault.
showcased local community organizations and nonprofits during our #HumbleAndKindWeek
Bought breakfast for ten cars in the Starbucks Drive Thry and hopefully inspired others to Pay It Forward.

One more day of mornings on Monday, then back to afternoons on Tuesday. Thanks for listening!

Powerball Mania!

2016-01-11T15:15:00.000-07:00

Wednesday's jackpot is $1.3 Billion. If the numbers I've chosen come up, I will hire Luke Bryan to come to one lucky KiiM-FM listener's house and dance in their living room.

AND I will hire George Strait to do a free concert for KiiM-FM listeners at Arizona Stadium.

Here are the numbers:

02 - 27 - 44 - 55 - 58 - Powerball: 11

Good luck to us all!

YOU could win your VERY OWN F-16 Fighting Falcon - if these numbers win the Powerball jackpot!

2016-01-09T20:15:00.000-07:00

How would you like your very own F-16?

If THESE NUMBERS:

are drawn as the Powerball numbers tonight, and it's the only winner (doesn't have to share the jackpot) I'll give away an F-16 on the radio on Monday afternoon!

Good luck to all of us... the drawing is in less than an hour!

Christmas 2015 Full Moon

Happy Festivus!

2015-12-23T15:56:00.002-07:00

On Festivus, you're supposed to air your grievances. So here are mine:

1) Whoever started that "Mark Zuckerburg is giving away $4 billion to facebook users" crappola. Can't they trace that to the first people who posted that hoax and have them deported?

2) Politics on Facebook. You're not going to change anyone's mind.

3) The guy in the big rig who cut me off this morning on Prince Road just east of the freeway. I would have happily let you over IF YOU HAD ONLY USED YOUR TURN SIGNAL. I know it works because I saw you signal to make the left turn onto Romero.

4) People who don't leash their dogs in my neighborhood, and then expect me to be calm when their dog runs over to greet me. I don't have any idea if your dog is friendly or not, and neither do MY dogs

5) Facebook apps. People, they're stealing your personal info. Block 'em.

6) There should be an express lane for shopping at Wal-Mart. Not just for the checkout - for shopping too. I know what I'm getting and I know where it is. I don't wanna get stuck behind someone who's lollygagging and meandering around the aisles. Especially at the holidays, people. Geez.

7) Telemarketers who ignore the Do Not Call list but there's no way to report them because they're hiding behind a bogus phone number. C'mon, phone companies. We put a man on the moon almost 50 years ago, and you still can't block spam calls?

Happy Festivus, everybody!

What is it about Star Wars that makes me cry?

2015-12-19T09:30:00.000-07:00

I cry at the opening of Star Wars movies.

I saw Star Wars in 1977 in the theater with my dad. I'll never forget the opening scene, where that space ship seems like it will keep passing overhead forever. I'd never seen anything like that.

I'll also never forget seeing the movie with my dad, who passed away a few years later. Seeing those words, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." will always being back those great memories.

There's a new Star Wars movie in theaters this week, and once again, as those words popped up on the screen, I fought back a star or two.
