If you ever wondered what Jaclyn Graves was like at 4-years-old, this may be it!  LOL!  You have to check out this little gal singing "Fancy" by Reba.  She is so dramatic and expressive and just sings her little heart out!  And she's earned over one million YouTube views because of it!

I need to remind myself to never get arrested.  I have a feeling that Deputy Raygen Bennett, with the Daviess County Detention Center, is probably going to remember this for a long time.  But you are never going to guess what happened to him yesterday at work.  Thanks to my good friend Joni Barnett (yes, I am throwing my alibi under the bus), I happened across the story of what happened when Deputy Bennett tried to use a microwave "unsafe" bowl.  It didn't go well . . . at all!  LOOK!

I am not going to lie.  When I watched this video to prepare this story, I actually cried.  I had forgotten how brutal this was.  In our first ever Sweatin' for St. Jude event, Jaclyn knocked down an astounding 32.4 miles.  I logged 50 miles . . . in one day on a treadmill inside the Owensboro Family YMCA.  As we get ready to the same thing again on Monday, the 23rd, we've decided to take a look back at last year's big finale.  And, yes.  There was blood, lots of sweat and lots of tears.

Sammy Kershaw may have know the Queen of the Double-Wide Trailers, but this bad boy is the King of the Single-Wides!  You are not going to believe this.  Way back in 1956, a man purchased a third of an acre of land in the Hamptons for just $300.  Today that land, which is home to his mobile home, is on the market for one million dollars.  Here's the story from Buzz:60.  This is GREAT!

This is hilarious!  In fact, I think Doug Lindsey needs to be on the next edition of NBC's The Apprentice.  This is a guy who's got his thinking cap on and knows how to make the most of a snow situation.  He knows that when a winter storm approaches people flock to the grocery stores for three things: milk, bread and eggs.  And he knows those shelves get wiped out quickly.  So, he stocked up and decided to make some money.   Look what he posted on For Sale in Owensboro, KY!

Yep!  We're doing it again.  Last year, Jaclyn and I, to kick off our St. Jude fundraising season, spent 12 hours on side-by-side treadmills at the Owensboro Family YMCA!  And, one week from today, we are going to do it again.  Only this time, YOU can be part of the fun.  Don't worry.  You don't have to run 25 miles like Jaclyn's going to do.  And you certainly don't have to knock down a 50-miler like I will.  LOL!  But here's how you can hop on a treadmill and help us raise money.
