Let Me Sleep on It…or at Least Try
May 5, 2011 Big news! Last night I slept 7 1/2 hours. Call the paper! The night before? Uh, not so much. I'm likely not alone; many people (perhaps you) have a great deal of trouble getting to sleep at night. And it may not necessarily be that leftover-piece-of-pizza-as-midnight-snack that's causing the problem.

Beards Be Gone!
When Will Ferrell declared he was going to shave off Conan O'Brien's beard, or as it was jokingly called, "Beardpocalyspe", it was way before any of the events of Sunday night took place.

Students Take The “Prom Promise”
May 2, 2011 Prom season is in the air! If you've hit a local restaurant in the last week or so, you've seen the sea of prom dresses that would make Loretta Lynn look underdressed, the high school boys trying to figure out why in the heck anyone would ever wear a cummerband, and some corsages and bouquets that are bigger than the students wearing them or carrying them around. I love prom season because it brings back great memories of high school. (Yep! I went to prom as sophomore, suckers! And I went with a senior girl! My friend Jennifer was a cougar before being a cougar was cool! LOL!) And, speaking of "cool" . . . last week, I was asked to participate in something REALLY cool!

Osama Bin Laden Killed
May 1, 2011
For the last ten years, country radio stations have been playing the heck out of Darryl Worley's song Have You Forgotten? As a matter of fact, at our most recent WBKR Night at the Grand Old Opry, Darryl sang that song to a raucous standing ovation. The reason that particular song still resonates so profoundly is that no one in the U.S. has forgotten the morning of September 11th, 2001, when, according to Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue, "a mighty sucker punch came flying in from somewhere in the back!" It was that day that "The Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist" and now, ten years later, "Mother Freedom" is "ringing her bell." A major chapter in the War Against Terror is closed. Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Red Cross Flood Relief
April 27, 2011 
Here in the tri-state, we are staring down flooding levels not seen since 1997. And, as rain and storms continue, the problems continue to get worse. This morning, I had the chance to chat with my friend, Malissa Troutman with the American Red Cross, about how you can GET help if you need it and how you can GIVE help if you are able. Take a listen . . .
