It's been a great year!

My granddaughter, Sophia Mae or as we call her Sophie turns one on the 17th...It's been a fantastic year watching her grow so far...I know it's only been a year but it has been great...I take my job as one of Sophie's grandfathers, she has 3, very seriously...I try to make her laugh as much as possible, run around as much as possible, kiss and hug as much as possible and make as many weird noises as possible...As you can tell, I'm like Juile from the LOVE BOAT..I'm like the entertainment director...I'm just glad I'm as "young" as I am to keep up with her...Sophie has an engine that just won't quit...Sophie's parents, Sarah & Sean are great parents and are doing a super job...I'm looking forward to Sophie getting into her birthday cake, making a mess and making me smile...For Sophie, that's not hard to do...Happy Birthday Sophie...That's all for now...Sophie's Papa...AKA Dan

Hockey, Baseball & Sandcastles

I can finally say it out loud...I MISS HOCKEY...Watching the Rangers in the playoffs has been a lot of fun...A buddy of mine is a Devils fan and he didn't take so badly...For a change...I know Brian is hitting the panic button about the Yankees Pitching but I'm my concerned about their hitting...How I Met Your Mother is one of the staff's favorite shows and this week's episode didn't let us down...Robin Sparkles "New" video with Alan Thicke & Tiffany's cameos were FUNNY...He's from the Great White North...Sandcastles in the Sand...Barney was right...It will be perfect for a femine hygine product...Barney & Robin hooking up...I don't know what's up with that...That show is excellent...Back to hockey...I love the playoffs for overtimes and game 7's...You can get into it without a rooting interest...Maybe someday...That's all I got...See you on the radio...Dan

Time to face the truth...I'm not 25 anymore!

As the title tells you, it's time for me to face the truth...I'm not 25 anymore...it's tough to think about it but my body is yelling at me for years of athletic abuse...Football, wrestling, baseball, hockey, softball, golf...name it, I've probably done it...my soon to be 43 year old body is getting tougher to get going after years of my own stupidity and after all of those stupid things, yard work may be my final undoing...I was taking care of the leaves and other junk Wednesday night at the house and I was pulling my large can, not the one attatched to my body and I felt and something tear in my right shoulder...my softball career or lack of it is in peril...I'm going to rest the should, the one I throw with for a few weeks and see how it is after that...the thing I love most about playing softball is the crew that I have been with for the past 15 years...believe it or not it's not about playing softball, it's about the hanging out with the guys and their families after the games...we've been thru everything together and they are my best friends and I don't want to lose that...I'll sit out for a few weeks and see if this old body can be good enough for another run in a little bit...if you find the Fountain of Youth, let me know...Dan

A bit lax

I'm sorry that I haven't blogged in a while...I must have been doing something else...We are getting into our busy season around the Radio Ranch and we have 2 new folks that will be showing up on the stations and at station events...Our 2 summer interns are Darrin now known as DA and Bobbie...Both are very bright and energetic...I look forward to having them around as soon as school ends...Pete & I recently passed our 10th year working together as the Morning Club...In the radio world that is highly unusual...With Jim Scott on the news and the 5th Beatle, Dave Thomas, we try to entertain and inform you every morning...After 10 years of doing mornings with the guys, I still look forward to each & every morning...I think the guys are up for another 10 years...I don't know how their wives feel about that though...I'm just fortunate to work with people that truly love what they do...Enough of the sappy stuff, I need to wake up Pete, Jim & Festus from their naps...I also want to pass on that Pete & I had a blast with the Rockin' 70's Great Gold Plus show that we did for Kip when he took the day off...When we do those shows, it reminds me how much we done in the past with many recording artists...It's a different show than we normally do but we have a blast doing those...Until next time...See you on the radio....Dan

Psychedlic Saturday Returns

Pete and I will be gust hosting for Kip Grant's "Great Gold Plus" on Saturday March the 8th from 6 to 10. We always do something a little different when we guest host GGP. We have done a few Psychedlic Saturdays and it's always fun. If there's something you'd like us to play, give us the heads up so that we can get it if we don't have it.

Morning Traffic

We both wanted to send out a quick note of thanks to all of those that were giving us updates on the traffic this morning. It helps to hear from everyone that is out there. Downtown over into South Glens Falls traffic was a mess. Thanks to everyone for checking in.

The New Blogs

All of this blog stuff is very new to all of us here at the radio ranch. Ken and Brian will have new blogs set up in the coming days. They will be blogging on all sorts of stuff. They are both very well versed with sports, but they will also be blogging on other things as well. I'm trying to get Pete up to speed on this, but he is afraid of the computer except to book his airfare and his ebay junk. Wish me luck in getting Pete on the computer....Dan
