Does Anybody Really Know What time It Is?

So my homepage has one of those convenient reminders on the left side where you can put doctor appointments and the like.


It even reminds me of my favorite sport team schedules and holidays.


Sometimes though I wonder if I should trust it:



If can't see that double click and it will open up for you, but since when is Ash Wednesday on a Friday?

Pleasant Valley Sunday

Well its a quiet day here at the homestead and all the Christmas decorations have been put away.
We start decorating the house for Halloween, then Thanksgiving, THEN Christmas!

I enjoy it, but its kind of nice to have the house back to "normal" after the hustle and bustle of the Holidays.
So since everything is put away I guess its time to post some pictures from Christmas!

Enjoy!

My family on Christmas Eve.
Our "kids" tree after Santa came!
The kids on Christmas morning.
The madness at my in-laws on Christmas night.

Do they know its Christmas



My son Josh, 6 years old, reading the classic Christmas poem "Twas The Night Before Christmas".

Merry Christmas everyone!

Silent Night

Since I can no longer post my play lists to My Space I wanted to share my warped sense of Christmas humor here instead!

Click play on the player below and have a wonderfully twisted Christmas!

Family Tradition

Whew!

Last Christmas party of the year is over!

Now we still have to get together with family on Christmas Eve and then the other side of the family on Christmas Day...but no more parties!

I love getting together with everyone and the more the merrier...but I'm worn out!

We didn't have Christmas "parties" growing up. All the relatives would come to my Grandmother's house on Christmas Eve and then Christmas morning after all the gifts were opened we would ride from relative to relative visiting (in the back of a car with no seat belts by the way)!

Now we have one for work, one for the neighborhood, one for the extended family on one side...I love them but I'm glad its over.

Until New Year's Eve.

I wonder who decided that we need to ring in the next second in the continuous flow of time with a big party?!?!

Radio Free Europe

Happy Holidays! (I wonder if that ticks off the right at all?)

Anyway...not much going on in my world this week.

We had some clips from the movie Elf which should be REQUIRED viewing for everyone during the Christmas season!

Two novelty songs for you this week. First another song from Da Yoopers who must get the majority of their radio airplay this time of year!


Then a song about the guy we all know. The guy too cool for his own good...SUPER SKIER thanks to the Chad Mitchell Trio!

In weird news:

1) A man nailed a Santa doll to a cross to protest smart people, er, either that or crass commercialism.
2) Rush Limbaugh thinks (how do you spell irony) that the problem with American cars is that they are TOO well made. Seriously.
3) What is it with people stuffing old, dead people in their freezers? Whatever happened to a nice shallow grave?

Next week my Christmas want list and more novelty stuff.

Christmas night, just two weeks from now a special ONE HOUR all Christmas special with clips and songs and stuff!

Talk to you next week!

White Christmas

For those of you who enjoy a little of the white stuff for your holidays.

You know, the white wet stuff that falls from the sky?



Anyway...click HERE to find out the chances of having a white Christmas.



If you're from my area here is our map:


Of course its supposed to be 50 degrees here Tuesday...so we'll have to see how the next couple weeks go!

Turn The Radio On...

Welcome to December and Happy Hunting!

I'm ticked about people suddenly deciding that we can't support a bailout for the auto industry when they weren't so vocal against the one for the banks.

So after blowing off some steam we went right into the Holiday spirit with football talk and how the Steelers rule!

Then our second song of the show by Da Yoopers!

Weird news followed:
1) Its cold! In November! I'm stunned! And so are the turtles!
2) Ads on tests...
3) Stop having your kids drive you when you are drunk. Ok? Just stop.
4) Crap you can't make up that shows how life just isn't fair...

More Christmas stuff next week. I think I'll retire the "People I Hate" segment until after Christmas...just doesn't seem right, ya know?

Have a listen!

Life Is A Highway

The thing I like most about Thanksgiving?

Four days off and nowhere to go.

My vehicle won't move further than a mile from home for the next three days!

We spent all day decorating (after my wife got home from the Black Friday sales) and with just a few touches left to go I'll put some pictures up when we are done!

Enjoy your weekend everyone and be safe!

Radio Gaga

Show 36 Links!


Happy Thanksgiving!

It was tough going on air this week with the Steeler-Bengal game still undecided, but I had faith on my home team and they came through!

By the way...the REFS SUCK! Honestly, can't the NFL afford to hire younger guys who can keep up with the play? How can they make a call when they can't even breath after running downfield!?!?

Still, I have to give props to the fans of the Bengals...they have to go through some really tough times with that team!

So since it was the Thanksgiving show we had some great comedy bits from Lewis Black, Adam Sandler and some wonderful older stuff from Andy Griffith!

After the closing credits it was time for weird news!

1) A cougar attacked! And it wasn't the hot kind of courgar either!
2) A German supermarket chain got caught poisoning their garbage to keep the homeless away. Funny, maybe they could just have GIVEN it to them since they were throwing it away anyway?3) A woman hid a rotting corpse in her bathroom so she could continue collecting the social security for her religious leader. I had two jokes...listen to hear them...they're funnier that way!4) Wisconsin water authority threatned a lien on a blind, 74 year old woman's house because she owed 1 cent from last year. Yea, she never saw that one coming....


NEXT WEEK:

A one hour show!

I'm going back to my love for local radio and playing back a 45 minute program recorded live at a local hospital and performed by my daughters school. Its Christmas carols and musical presentations.

I feel its important to support our local communities even in the age of a global community via the world wide web.

What's going on...

A quick update on my radio show for the next couple weeks!

This weeks its the Thanksgiving show!

Yes, I know its not until next week...

This week comedy bits and thoughts on the purely American Holiday along with the normal crazy talk!

Next week (on Thanksgiving) something special:If the turkey hasn't put you to sleep early stay up.If you caught a nap then stay up! We'll kick off the Christmas season (yes, I wait until after Thanksgiving) with some special stuff that you just won't want to miss!

In this special ONE HOUR version of My World I'll be playing back a Christmas concert given by my daughter's school.

Why, you ask?

Because in the days when I was growing up and developing my love for radio, LOCAL radio stations still existed...not the giant corporate monsters they are today. And they would have carried (and cared about) a group of school kids singing and performing at a local hospital for their "Festival of Trees".

So in honor of that kind of tradition I will re-play the performance uninterrupted and unedited.

Its sports and politics and kids and marriage and funny songs and weird news and all the things that make up my world...every Thursday at 11pm! on My World!

Listen to My World - An attempt to have a civil discourse about life and all the little things that we all go through! on internet talk radio

Its begining to look a lot like Christmas

Well now that Halloween is officially over we look forward to the next big Holiday...Christmas!

What, you thought Thanksgiving was next?

Pshh!

All the local stores had their Christmas displays out a good two weeks before Halloween.

I've seen local people who are starting to put up the christmas decorations since the weather is so nice!

People, please.

It can be 20 degrees below zero that day, but the decorations do NOT go up until the day after Thanksgiving.

Its no wonder people think their lives are so rushed these days...they do it to themselves.

Its still a good three weeks until Thanksgiving.

And Thanksgiving is a wonderful, American holiday that should be celebrated on its own not used as a kick off for the christmas buying season!

Relax...enjoy the fall weather and the time before the maddening Christmas rush.

Enjoy the month of November and each day until thanksgiving and then get ready to celebrate Christmas.,,you'll be happier for it.
