There is an old Irish Proverb…”A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.”

I am blessed to have been a sweetheart and to still be a wife and mother. And yes, still be loved!

I wish you a VERY Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy it with those who will truly love you the longest and will miss you the most when they lose you! After many years, I still miss my Mama and think of her daily!

I hope to honor her by doing for my children what she did for me…teach them about their Heavenly Father and love me unconditionally!

To each of you Mom’s, thank you for the difference you make in so many lives…that little one you’re guiding now may one day guide us!

Just a little something to make you think…or not!

Well, the 23 year old French beauty I just described to you was fired from her modeling contract with Ralph Lauren for being TOO FAT!

Her name is Filippa Hamilton, and she’s been doing Ralph Lauren print ads since 2002. But the company claims she’s now too fat to fit into their sample clothes. Ralph Lauren admits it…saying se was terminated “as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us.” Is that just their somewhat more polite way to say “This girl is a porker.” Hamilton didn’t mince words either about getting fired for her weight. Her response: “I think they owe American women an apology, a big apology; I’m very proud of what I look like, and I think a role model should look healthy.”
What do you think? Is she fat? Or is it that Ralph Lauren is crazy?

The Mayoress of Wellford gives politicians an even worse name than they have already and is damaging to females as well. She is a nut case!

Mayor Sallie Peake’s latest stupidity shines through with her new policy in which she says officers in that city can NOT chase suspects either on foot or in vehicles.

The memo issued on September 2nd reads as follows:
“As of this date, there are to be no more foot chases when a suspect runs. I do not want anyone chasing after any suspects whatsoever.“

She told a reporter at an area TV station that the officers are costing the town “more money on insurance than most citizens in Wellford are earning,“

She’s referring to the 20 thousand dollars a year in workers’ compensation claims. In July 2 officers wrecked their patrol cars in a suspect chase and needed treatment for minor injuries. A total of 3 officers were injured in foot chases and this is over the last 2 years.

How in the world are officers to do their jobs? Are they not hired to uphold the laws of the land and enforce right and wrong … getting the perps off the streets and behind bars where they belong?

What is wrong with her!? And more importantly, what is wrong with you folks who continue to vote for her!?

I started writing this over the weekend as we approached the 40^th anniversary of the Lunar Landing.

Back in the day, I was the “GM” of the radio station at my high school. Now keep in mind my time in high school was miserable, and for a number of reasons.  BUT, the last 2 years were the best, and only because of that little carrier current radio station.  We were a bunch of geeks, rejects and social misfits that found each other in the radio “business.”  I still consider myself as all of the above, but also still love the business.

A carrier current radio station means your signal runs along the buildings internal electrical wiring and the antenna is the actual wiring thru the walls.  Now, all that means is you could get a great signal as long as your radio was on the school property.  Beyond that our “coverage” was zero.

The night of the lunar landing you found 3 geeks in the parking lot of the school waiting for touchdown and the first steps.  Because I took the station seriously, I made sure we were broadcasting the feed from the ABC radio network of the NASA coverage.  That night I was laying on the hood of my babyblue Oldsmobile Starfire convertible, with radio turned up, listening to our broadcast. 

A starry night, spent with 2 friends, listening to the first radio station I ever worked at, as history was made.  The audience was, well, very small, the event very large.  40 years later I remember more about that than I do of last week.  My dad never understood my love of radio. He asked why the hell I was going to the “station” to broadcast to no one.  Maybe he was right, but 40 years later I carry that night with me and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  Not bad for a geek.
