Happy Halloween!
It's Halloween week on the WIKY Morning Show (can someone please tell us how the end of October snuck up on us?). Traditionally, we like to supply clever, quick, and most of all, easy last minute costume ideas for both kids and adults.
"Love Letters"
Diane and I have been in rehersals for a play we're in for Civic Theatre this weekend. It's Love Letters by A.R. Gurney. It's a different kind of play because the entire story is told through an exchange of letters between a couple throughout their lives. Diane and I will take the man and woman from school kids through college, then Jack and Sue Schriber portray the couple through adulthood. It's funny, moving, and has a very surprise ending. It's a terrific play.
Crime does pay......when it's The Extortion Breakfast
Every Friday morning on the WIKY Morning Show, we have a wonderful non-profit organization in the studio to hang out with us and tell us about the work they do and their upcoming event. They get valueable air-time on WIKY, but there's a great big catch.....first they have to feed us a delicious breakfast! Do we feel guilty about this? Absolutely not!
I Am An Unabashed Gardener!
On my best days, I'll take my left hand and pat my right shoulder and compliment myself on a beautiful garden. On regular days, I love to play in the dirt with flowers and plants and bushes. What you spend time on today in a garden will be all the more beautiful tomorrow.
Generic Brands vs. Store Brands
On the WIKY Morning Show we had a discusson on great and not so great generics. Turns out there's more than meets the eye.
Here's an email we recieved from Clifton Macke -
Waxing Poetic About "Corn Toasties"
The other day on the show, we were talking about foods that take you back to childhood and I ended up posting a blog about it on Facebook. A very dear friend of mine remembered bringing "mass quantities of Corn Toasties" when they would come and visit us in Ohio.
Buying Local
Occasionally on the WIKY Morning Show, a subject will come up where the reaction takes me totally by surprise. This morning, I mentioned that my wife needed a replacement part for one that had broken. She had the option of buying the part on-line or buying it from a local merchant. She made the conscious decision to buy locally. It didn't turn out well. After weeks of not hearing from the local store, it wasn't until she went to the store that she found that they had never even placed the order for the part. If she had ordered the part on-line, it
I'm 10 Years Old Again
Over the weekend, I bought and ate something that brought me right back to my childhood. I had some Chunky Sirloin Burger Soup and I can honestly say I haven't had any since I still lived in Ohio as a kid! I used to be fascinated with the little teeny-tiny sirloin burgers and how they even had grill marks on them! It was pretty tasty, but I do have to say that my palate is a bit more sophisticated these days....LOL!
Every Child Should Belong
If you've listened to my show for any length of time, you know I am like the old woman who lives in a shoe with so many kids I don't know what to do. Three of my 10 children came to me thru birth, the rest came to me thru adoption, some when they were very young and some as adults.
