It could be almost as slippery as Ryan Seacrest late tonight as the snow starts to accumulate. That shouldn’t happen until after about 10 or 11 tonight. About […]

Cue (Just One Of) The Stories About Getting Fired
December 29th, 2007 3 Comments
Tom Davis, my internet partner, likes to say that most blogs are a little much. “The guy at the cleaners is usually nice, but today he seemed a little cold.” Stuff like that. So here’s my trivial contribution: I am writing this in the car on the way to my Mom and Dad’s house in […]

My Facelift
December 27th, 2007 5 Comments
Starting this blog has been a pain in the oops, you didn’t see that did you? Take two: Starting this blog has been a first step in expanding and organizing my brands across multiple Internet platforms. You don’t have any idea of what that means, do you? I know I don’t.
Anyway, I’ll have more online this […]

Was it a Wonderful Life, or more like Christmas Vacation? I hope you loved your time with the loved ones over the holiday. We did, and we still will, this weekend with my Mom and Dad. It’s easy to take people for granted, then one day they’re gone. So live it up now. Don’t be […]

Almost Here
December 24th, 2007 No Comments
I still get excited on Christmas Eve. There’s over 40 of them in the memory banks and I think the effect is cumulative. I’m especially excited to be completely done with shopping as of about 8:15pm Sunday night. Mrs. Poteet’s stuff is even wrapped. (There’s a joke sitting inside that sentence somewhere, but hey-it’s Christmas!) I’m […]

Christmas Eve Eve

Time is tight, smart shoppers. You may already be reduced to gift cards. Can “pets” that sprout, or trout that sings be far behind? Good luck with that. (I’m not done yet either.) BTW: Welcome to Winter, at least on the calendar. It never seems to match the real world. Those 50 degree temps erased […]

Yesterday I wrote of never knowing what you’ll see in Studio A. Case in point… LATER THAT SAME DAY: Hey, it’s Santa Shabazz! Yes, News Talk 1430’s favorite Midwestern Politically Conservative Muslim from “Abdul In The Morning” may be only a step or two away from showing up at our Candlelight Service next week. It’s a […]

Dashing Through The Show

Just a “quickie,” as I get ready to bolt for a live broadcast with WZPL from Cracker’s Comedy Club in Broad Ripple. Our annual live “Christmas Pageant” is adapted from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.” Noted thespian David Smiley will lead the dramatic production, aided this year by both me and my Cuff partner Tom Davis, […]

Buck For Your Thoughts

Just when you think you’ve seen it all at work… Someone with a fuzzy nose is pacing around in front of a chromakey weather wall. Kind of like in the 80’s at Channel 4 when I still had my mustache. The people at Silly Safaris did, not surprisingly, a silly bit with us today on […]

Elf Yourself

As they say on TV News: “DISTURBING VIDEO!”
WMDH Radio had already put me on the dance floor a few days ago. Go here for some Jon and Kelly and Paul fancy footwork. Now I wake up this morning to another outbreak of elves from the Smiley Morning Show. When will the madness stop? BTW: They […]

No Lampshade

The last time I was really stupid at an office Christmas party was 1983. Don’t ask. I went to the Entercom Indianapolis party last night. Entercom is the multi-national super duper conglomerate that runs 107.9 The Track, Newstalk 1430, and Z99.5 in Indianapolis. So the posting is a little late this morning. A good time […]

Tuesday Weather

No “biggity” today through the rest of the work week. Dave Smiley on WZPL claimed Monday morning that he looked forward to my use (probably over-use) of that decidely non meteorological term. That’s why I’m here. I may end up putting sprinkles/flurries in tonight’s forecast, but that’s about it. There should be more sun than […]

The chills are near zero as I write this in the middle of the night. Let me double check. No, “Good Morning Indiana” is not running on a 2 hour delay. So….I need a story for 5 o’clock. It will be a temperature tale, mainly. No huge storms this week. Probably lots of clouds today; especially […]

Sunday Morning Coming Down
December 16th, 2007 3 Comments
As of waking up at 6am (like real people do) there’s been about 5-6 inches that’s fallen here at the Bat Cave in Hamilton County. Judging from the radar–maybe another inch or two before it ends later this morning. Winds not too bad yet. If I were on TV or radio right now I would […]
