WBKR

While I was on vacation, WBKR midday gal and my good friend, Jaclyn Graves, subjected her young 2-year-old daughter Carsyn to a grueling photo shoot in honor of her birthday.  Apparently, when you reach the Terrible 2's you are supposed to endure a photo layout for Elle magazine.  Now, Jaclyn will tell you that such photos are a rite of passage for female toddlers.  After all, she was raised by crazed pageant coach who was always looking over her right shoulder for the next Miss America.  I, on the other hand, question the emotional impact such a photo shoot has on the fragile psyche of young, sweet Carsyn.  I mean, look at her in the photo above.  She looks MISERABLE.  If she was Drew Barrymore in Firestarter, those bangs would be blowing in the wind right about now and that barn would be going up in flames!  Let's take a look at Carsyn's other photos from the shoot and see if we can learn some valuable life lessons or, at the very least, some necessary parenting skills.

Recently here at WBKR.com, Steve Horn shared a photo in which he was playing guitar.  I don't think any of us knew about the Horndog's "hidden talent!"  (Steve has about 20 kids, so we just figured his talent was

If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: "Make healthier food cheaper, and this country will start to lose weight." You know what I'm talking about, don't you? The least expensive food at the supermarket, the food toward which a majority of Americans are gravitating in this less-than-ideal economy, is also the least healthy food on the shelves. It's a dual-edged sword.

Do you remember Marlin Perkins? He was the host of that great old wildlife program Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Back in the day, he was "animal planet" before "Animal Planet" was cool. Long before. Well, here lately I've begun to think ol' Marlin's ghost haunts the WBKR studios. And that's thanks in large part to the increasing number of creatures that are populating our grounds. The latest addition? How about a bat living under our carport?
