April 18, 2013 To say that Owensboro's First Christian Church has its share of fans is an enormous understatement. The city's oldest church was destroyed by fire a month ago, leaving many without a church home and many more still, lamenting the loss of one of the community's most beautiful structures.
April 18, 2013 Fresh veggie alert! And flowers and meats and baked goods, too. The Owensboro Regional Farmers' Market opens this Saturday, April 20th, at 6:30AM in the parking lot of Owensboro Christian Church on New Hartford Road and will be open until noon.
April 17, 2013 The Owensboro Mud Run is THIS Saturday at Diamond Lake Resort. This event is going to be awesome! Proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society and you can still register.
Chad is always coming up with crazy ideas that I basically have no say-so in and running this course beforehand is his latest! We went out to Diamond Lake Tuesday afternoon and actually ran the entire course! (I'm still sore, I have blisters and my left leg is jacked up!) Although all of the course wasn't constructed yet, we scaled a 6 foot wall (well, I basically face-planted), we crossed grown-man monkey bars, attempted the cargo net and Chad even got in the water for those three obstacles. Watch and be prepared to laugh!
April 17, 2013 I ask the question in the headline because you should decide for yourself. When I first heard the song, I thought that there would be those who wouldn't get it and would be offended. I listened to it again and I began to understand the tone of the song in question.
April 16, 2013 I can't wait to tell Moon about this website. He may never leave the house again. LOL! I have a new Facebook friend that he is going to fall in love with. In fact, I think I have a new Facebook friend every single one of you may love. It's called The Drunken Spatula and the page shares delicious recipes that involve food, cocktails and, sometimes, both! Check this out.

April 15, 2013 Clyde & Carsyn If you listen to my Midday Show, then you know how much Carsyn loves animals. Any animal... horses, bunnies, kitties, puppies and even unicorns, ha! She's been asking for a pet for a while and I finally decided that I was ready to get one. I knew that a puppy was the way to go... let's be honest, we haven't faired well with cats in the past.
When I walked in to work Thursday morning, Roxianne drug me to the computer to look at some new puppies that SparKy Rescue had ready for adoption. All it took was one look and I was ready to get that puppy!

April 14, 2013 Earlier this year, Jason Koger's bionic hands were the star of an episode on Hawaii Five-0. Now, he's landed on national television again.

Believe it or not, Jason's new set of hands, courtesy of Touch Bionics, can be controlled and programmed with a phone app. Check this out!

"Are you here to take me home?" Those were some of the most heartbreaking words I've ever heard spoken to me. I still tear up when I think about them.
Several years ago, my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease
