It's Friday night. I've got beer, a Red Sox game on the tube, and scripts and copy to write.
My "real job" starts Monday, back in the office preparing for another winter of ski reports! My days of poverty are almost done. The radio-station gig and, as long as they remain in the post season, minor league baseball job continues. Three jobs, mon. Three jobs!...

I just wanted to express my love, or lack there of, for your Sox. I hope their team plane goes down in a firey ball!!! However, I would prefer to play them versus the Yankees in the first round of playoffs. 
This makes me sad since I hate both.

What other sports do you like? I know about baseball and skiing. I hope you are having a good first week back at the office. 
It's Wednesday afternoon, the humidity is gone, it's gorgeous out, and I'm still inside for some reason. Why?
The weather ended up being fantastic to catch a ballgame last night, my first time at Fenway Park in three years. I went with an old friend/co-worker of mine who I hadn't seen in a year and a half or so, and we had a blast. Warm...

Cha-ching! My friend's connection came through and we got ourselves some box seats, gratis, for Tuesday night's Sox-Angels game. The weather might suck, but I'm willing those tropical storms away. I get to knock around Boston all day tomorrow, regardless, and I haven't had a chance to do that in a long, long time.
Yesterday was supposed to be a day off, but apparently the...

Eagles...I'm a my-friends-are-watching-so-I-guess-I-will-too fan. I did get pretty into it at the end of last season.

I wish I were at the Sox's game to see the Elvis' flying! Tell me how the game was tonight.
So Tuesday will be interesting. An old co worker of mine who's visiting NH/VT for a week wants to go to a Red Sox game with me... so we tried to see if anymore tix were available for Tuesday night, and of course, nada. They do release a handful of sloppy-seconds tickets a few hours before gametime though, so we decided we're going to cast...

The deep cuts show sounds gear. Could you give me a few examples of the kind of tracks you play? This sort of thing is interesting to me. Where I live the only thing worth listening to is the classic rock station and even that gets tedious. I mean, how many times do we have to hear Slow Ride or Dream on?!? Man, I wish radio was listenable again...
Good luck with the tickets.
Good luck with the tickets.
Y'know... I think one of my favorite cuts from "The Love Below" is "Prototype." Makes me think of the Bob Welch-era Fleetwood Mac, if they hung out with Earth Wind and Fire and the horn players forgot to show up. That's what it would sound like.
Give it a whirl if you've skipped this track in the past.

So, I discussed a possible sales job outside of radio back in the Worcester area, where I'm from. Good money potential, and still thinking about it...
but...
I don't think I'm ready to give up on radio yet, in spite of my dissatisfaction with my wallet after five years. Besides, fall is coming, then winter, and letting go of being a ski reporter is too...

I say never ever bail out of doing what you truly love. Ski your heart out as long as you possibly can!! (of course I don't have the guts to follow my own advice so perhaps I shouldn't be dishing it out) good luck! l8r

i miss my drawing! give it back!

soooo secret agent like, hehehehe good luck with it and what not
good luck with it and what not Boy am I glad I finally took a chance on trying out some Camper Van Beethoven. I've been missing out on the following words for years:
Club Med Sucks!
Authority Sucks!
I hate golf!
I wanna play lacrosse!
Nothing much else to report, other than the fact that my winter job surprised me with an off-season bonus check. Boy did I ever need it.

Just saw your profile name and was wondering if you got it from Frank Miller's Hard Boiled series?

that is so hot it makes my ice sweat
Don't let this morning end.
The forecast for today originally presaged doom and gloom and cool weather and buckets of rain. The cool weather is present this morning but it's gorgeous out. Granted, it's only the first week of August, but cool almost-autumn mornings are what I live for and are often a prime motivator for me to wake up early. Certainly it will get...

album that inspires me... hmmm.... i dont even know... too many to say really, im a constant music listener and almost everything i listen to inspires me in some way
sweetbean:
there are so many songs that inspire me that it's so difficult to say. but, there is a huge difference between a single inspiring song and an entire album. if I had to pick one, right at this second it would be the smalls' last album, my dear little angle. it's amazing. the more you listen to it, the more that becomes apparent. anyway, moving on.
i've never been out east; that's a roadtrip waiting to happen. have you ever come out west here to ski? what's the skiing like down there? the rockies are my mountains, so lucky to have them right here.
your job sounds incredible. my take is, money isn't as important as the job itself so I say ski your heart out!! I've got a boring desk job and would only be able to teach on weekends.
thank you for the compliments btw, very sweet.
l8r!

Don't you hate it when you get a cold and it fades away, comes back, and fades away... and... you get the picture. Fortunately I'm on a "fades away" streak but my voice has been on the brink of laryngitis for the past week. I had to croak my way through my public address duties this past weekend but survived. Today I had the good...
