Make It Count

Drive it like you stole it, and make it count.  I love the premise of this video:  Being asked to make a video from Nike, then taking the cash and doing something else with it.  Cool video about having one shot and making it count... my favorite quote from this video is from Marilyn Monroe.

When You Wish Upon...

The rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated... Instead of explaining my absence, which would be just a boring diatribe of how I work too much, I'm just going to jump back into it.  :)  Welcome back!

Being so close to Orlando, it was only a matter of time that we spend some significant time with the world famous mouse at Disney World.  So, we hopped in the Nixon minivan and made our pilgrimage to the land of Mickey Mouse.  All the kids loved it, of course.  I think I loved it more watching their happy faces after riding Space Mountain, Going on a race track at 65 MPH, or seeing Holli's amazement watching the fireworks show at Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom.  Our little two year old, Kyli, is a pretty big fan of anything Disney.  Her favorite show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so this was heaven!  Mickey Mouse was everywhere, and she gladly pointed that out everytime she saw the 'ears.'  She got to meet all of her favorites, and wasn't scared at all of giant mice, dogs, or ducks.

A Year In The Eastern Time Zone

After living in the Central Time Zone all my life, it has taking some getting used to living the Eastern Time Zone.  Even after a year, I'm not quite sure I'm completely used to it.

For the most part, everything is pretty normal, until you get to watching TV.

• Watching the news at 11pm here is just crazy!  I rarely stay up that late just to see who got shot in my 'hood

• Most of the people I know are still.... on Central time.

• Letterman and Leno starts at 11:35, I refer back to the news starting at 11pm... No late night funny for me.

• Primetime TV shows start late at 8pm and run into 10pm.  Well, I actually kinda like that, since the kids are in bed by 8pm... No disturbances!

I'm looking forward to the time change this weekend, falling back an hour will be like living on Central time again!  If TV shows would just move back an hour with me.

Life is Short, Have a Bucket

On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, we think about the tragedy of the event...  how horrific it was to lose all those people... all the brave men and women that died to rescue survivors.  We also look at our own mortality, and realize that we have become complacent in our own lives... we haven't loved enough, lived enough, and done all the things we wanted to do yet.  We remember that life is short, that everyday is a gift, and there are no guarantees.

When is the last time you looked at your life with a magnifying glass and asked yourself, 'what do I want?'  It's so easy to get caught up in serving others at work, at home with family and kids, and often forget about the most important person in your life... YOU!  ...and probably have never thought about the things, no matter how off the wall it is... things you've always wanted to do, but haven't yet?   Got an answer?  Then, go do it... solo or share your experience with family, or close friends.

I've kicked around things in my head for years about things I want to do in life, I finally started a bucket list of my own.  ::Check it out here::

What is it that you want to do before it's all said and done?  Have you made that list?  The list of things you want to do before taking a dirt nap?  There are no guarantees for tomorrow... Get busy, and live.

¿Donde Esta Todd?

I ask myself that too sometimes... As a traveling radio guy, you probably thought I ran off to another circus somewhere.  I'm proud to say, that I'm still in the Ft. Myers three ring radio circus and rockin' it!  Here's what I've been up to lately the past month since I blogged last:

Stealing parking spots at concerts...

Making funny faces....

(Trying to) Avoiding speed traps...

Having (adult) beverages with good friends...

 ...and enjoying trips to Walmart with my family...

So, as you can see, I've been pretty tied up... but good news is I have lots of blog ideas ready to go for your reading enjoyment coming soon.
