That's Nice!

For hosting last evenings Friends of Georgia Radio 3rd Annual Celebration, Randy and I both received, as last year’s host Ernie Johnson Jr. so eloquently put it, “a nice firm stool.” Nuff said.

Time Travel?

I accidentally swerved into the "Time Travel Lane" in Cartersville.

Making Memories

I recently had a class reunion and reconnected with my two best friends from high school. We retold our favorite stories (embellished, of course,) and enjoyed a wonderful trip down memory lane. The only thing missing … photos from our younger days when we were out and about just messing around. What I wouldn’t give for some snapshots of our most excellent adventures together. So, when these four young guys approached me last night on the Marietta Square and asked if I would take a few photos of them just horsing around, I said “sure.” I hope that years from now when these friends get together, they will remember their adventures and will have photos like these that can jog their memories and bring smiles to their faces.

Time Travel

March 10, 2024: I've done it! My experiment in Time Travel has proven successful. Unbeknownst to hundreds of millions of people who were fast asleep, I managed to push time forward in most of the United States by 60 minutes. This will no doubt cause mass confusion and likely a decline in Sunday morning Church attendance. I must now somehow find a way to reverse this forward time travel. If my calculations are correct, it will take months before I'm able to harness the curvature of time. Hopefully I'll be able to return to absolute time in the fall. --- Professor Spiff Carner (No relation to Spaceman Spiff)

 

The Road Not Taken

"I shall be telling this with a sigh ... Somewhere ages and ages hence ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, ... I took the one less traveled by, ... And that has made all the difference."

The Road Not Taken --- Robert Frost

Those Were The Days

21 years ago yesterday (1/31/2003) Cox Radio pulled the plug on Fox 97. Gads! 21 years ago? Seriously? Seems like just yesterday, or the day before yesterday at the most. A little less than nine years later in October 2011, "The Randy & Spiff" show was taken off life support ending our incredibly fun (thanks to all of you) run on the airwaves of Atlanta. 

Cue Mary Hopkin! 

♫Once upon a time there was a station 

Where we used to spin a disc or two 

Remember how we laughed away the hours 

Good Times and Great Oldies we would do. 

Those were the days my friend 

We thought they'd never end 

We’d play the songs we loved in our heyday 

We'd live the life we choose 

We'd fight and never lose 

For we were young and sure to have our way. 

Then the busy years went rushing by us 

Fox 97 died along the way 

If by chance you see me in the Walmart 

We'll smile at one another and we'll say 

Those were the days my friend 

We thought they'd never end 

We’d play the songs we loved in our heyday 

 We'd live the life we choose 

We'd fight and never lose 

For we were young and sure to have our way. 

La la la la...Those were the days, oh yes those were the days♫

Sugar High?

Well, I've gone and done it again. Janet has banned me from the kitchen for the next week because I snorted the powder sugar she was planning to use on our apple turnovers. The shame is real.
