May 8 2009 edition

Before I begin, happy birthday to my nephew Kyle, who's 22 today.

As I stated in facebook, I have the Uniden radio - kinda fitting since Uniden announced TWO new radios would be out; one would have 25,000 channels. I'm happy with what I have - L.A. is big, but 6,000 channels is good.

A few things to pass on: The Dallas Cowboys, KRLD and Brad Sham are back together again after an absence of some 17 years. It was recently announced that KRLD-FM would be the new home of the Cowboys Radio Network. Brad will begin his 30th year with the organization, the longest of any sportscaster with the team; and chances are he will be heard both on KRLD-AM and KRLD-FM; both owned by CBS.

For the first time in what seems like an eternity, Vin Scully brought back his old phrase "How Do You Do!", after the Diamondbacks turned a triple play against the Dodgers during a May 4th game. The phrase now is used by Verne Lundquist and USC's Pete Arbogast; although Arbo is better known for the phrase than Verne is. And yes, I use it myself.

The Obama administration has done quite well in its 100+ days; and now, Barack has decided to re-open the Statue of Liberty, which itself has been shut down since the Sept 11 2001 terrorist attacks. Now if Barack can only bring the length of Daylight Time back to what it used to be (first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October), all would be right in the World.

Outside of all that, not much to talk about this time around. Facebook has been an amazing site; brought me back with great friends I've known from the old Sunrise Mountain days - and I hope to mix the old friends with the new ones. Lydia Cornell, thank you my friend - you truly are heaven sent.

Bye for now,

Rob
