Wow- I'm glad that writers' strike is over so I can get back to bloggin' again. Anyway...I was thinking back to some of the stuff I've heard people say over the years and some of my own words.
It's a grab bag of ridiculous and insightful.....as my BOOKLESS BOOK TOUR CONTINUES...
At 15 years old I wanted to be F.Lee Bailey...c'mon...I was 15
at 25... I said I would NEVER MARRY........and if I did, there would be NO CHILDREN
at 30 I said TO MY WIFE..."what if we try the Lehigh Valley for a couple years and then move to ____________"
age 35........"we're not buying a house- we don't even know how long we'll be here"
age 36......." this is a cool place to live- do you want to start a family, buy a house and stay here a while longer?"
age 36 and 2 months "this mortgage cost what ?! your crappin' me ! "
age 40 "these diapers cost what?! YOUR CRAPPIN' ME !
age 41 " we're not putting a bunch of papers and school stuff all over the
stainless refrigerator"
age 42 "your right- he needs a little brother or sister"
age 44 " StarWars legos cost WHAT !?? YOUR CRAPPIN' ME!"
age 45 " Great job.. go put it on the frigerator next to your brother's poster,
hand print, feather hat, paper plane, art project, and soccer picture."

Time for me to use the C-word: CONSULTANT
As a consultant, I recently suggested that several Job applicants explain 3 of their own recent management SUCCESSES and - 3 failures...and why they think they happened.
AND THEN IT HIT ME: WOULD SOME ONE PLEASE ASK THOSE SAME QUESTIONS TO
BARACK OBAMA
HILLARY CLINTON
and JOHN McCAIN ?
As an AMERICAN, I'd love to hear the answers.

Jane Fonda & Network TV- VOCABULARY MALFUNCTION
The FCC has been on RADIO and radio hosts like nobody's business. But when it comes to network TV and celebs...well...hey...whatevah. In case you missed it JANE FONDA used the extrtemely offensive c-word on The Today show on NBC. Somehow I don't think Henry Fonda would of said that...or he would of explained without having to "say it."
Jane- ...I understand you have to PROMOTE YOUR SHOW AND PRESS HELPS....... but good luck with the c-word thing. I don't even think Stern uses it ...anymore.
Another reason I don't get Jane Fonda

Fergilicious 2008 Grammys for me
Fergie has a special place in my heart and head for several reasons. Well-besides my wife liking her boyfriend and being a Fergie fan, her friends dig Fergie to...and so do I. I dig a ton of music. Right now I'm blastin' Seether, Stones, and AKON...in the car.....Kanye & One Republic at the gym...and of course...Fergie...wherever she wants ! Why the special place ? The BEP's show was the last show I emceed as the morning guy on B104. It was at the fair in August of 2006. Backstage my wife (who's been to about 5 concerts with me in the 20 years we've been together)and I got to meet the Peas, The Pussycats Dolls and more importantly...FERGIE.....in her tour bus.....after she had taken the time to meet all the contest winners from the station and take pictures with them. Fergie hangin' with my wife and me... YES is was cool. Yes I am a goober about it. of course we have fotos and there were funny moments before and after and during....BUT THE BEST PART- I thought was how nice Fergie was/is. Just a pleasant person. manners.
A close friend of ours ( A FERGIE FREAK and 8th grade teacher) was unable to attend-
So Fergie called her from her tour bus for us. Then we hung out for about 15 minutes and watched TV...and talked about Vegas, and cooking and family...and other interesting stufff. And that was that.
All the pictures from that night came out great. I'm glad they did. I had no idea at the time that it was my last event with B104....but it was a good one. The crowd at the fair was awesome. My wife and I caught most the show from mid-stands and spent a good part of the night talking to some of the fair workers......some of whom I knew as regulars form earlier years.
So last night when I saw Fergie perform with John Legend..which by the way kicked butt- I remembered how pleasant she was to just hang out with and what she was wearing.....I mean ah.... what nice manners she had. lol
ps- give her the candlesticks
