Last weekend, Chad and I made the five hour trip down to Memphis, Tennessee. It was for the annual Country Cares for St. Jude Kids radio weekend. This was my second year to make the trip and it was amazing! I have learned that any time I'm at St. Jude my heart will leave heavy, but full. And, this weekend was no different.

A couple of years ago, Barb Birgy and I started the tradition of stopping at the North 40 Truck Stop en route to our annual St. Jude Country Cares Seminar.  See, that event is full of country music stars and participating radio stations can each bring an item to have autographed.   Well, in 2010, Barb and I realized that we had forgotten to get something in advance so we peeled into the North 40 p

So the kids are out for summer and now they're in the house eating the food and dirtying the towels. If they're anything like my kids it's in the pool for an hour and then through the house with their muddy little piggies and grassy ankles. So let me ask you the obvious question........ Need a break?

Chad here and Benefield is ready to breakdown this season of Celebrity Apprentice!  Now, you guys know that I have never been a fan of John Rich.  If you have ever tuned into The WBKR Waking Crew and caught one of my John Rich rants, you know that I refer to him as the Travelocity Gnome and give him grief for wearing full-length fur coats!  In fact, I remember cringing when I heard he was joining
