On Saturday, The WBKR "Grand" Canyon and I rolled out of our Frederica Street offices to morph into a Publisher's Clearing House-like prize patrol!  I had a big ole laminated check for $1,000 to give away and I had my winner's name in hand.  I also had, in hand, my Mapquest directions to her house.  Little did I know that Nancy Kolb lives deep in the woods of Philpot and to find her I wa

This is my version of a "Save The Date" postcard!  And, the date you need to save is Saturday, May 14th, 2011!  Mark it down.  Now, slackers!!  Get an ink pen or a #2 lead pencil.  Don't be lazy.  Don't make excuses.   Write it down!  7pm, Saturday, May 14th at Diamond Lake Resort, home of the Lanham Brothers Jamboree!  And, I'm happy to report that May's show will include (drum roll, pl

I am on the go a lot, so I rarely get the chance to go shopping.  And, I'll be honest, it's not my favorite thing to do anyway (because I can NEVER make up my mind and I get bored VERY quickly!)  I am the poster child for Attenion Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and I'm just not built for accomplishing one task at a time.  But Friday, I decided to tempt fate and go shopping for a new laptop compute

Once a month, I travel down to Nashville, TN to broadcast live Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry!  It's an awesome gig, because I get to meet a lot of Opry stars, hang out with them in the green room, and have a "grand" ole time!  Well, yesterday, I got to meet, for the first time, bluegrass star Rhonda Vincent, who strolled into the green room and had me at "Hello!"

On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of visiting Daviess County Middle School and speaking with Mrs. McCollough's 7th Grade Family and Consumer Science classes!  My friend Kirsten Horsley (from the American Cancer Society) and I were on hand to collect 127 pillows the classes made for breast cancer patients.

So, what's up with people coming to work when they are sick??  WBKR saleswoman Amber came to work late last week with an upper respiratory infection.  After a visit to her doctor, she learned that the infection had become pneumonia.  She eventually went home, but only after exposing all her co-workers to PNEUMONIA!!!  I'm glad she didn't have the Bubonic Plague.
