Good show – a big thanks to all who chatted and especially to Tigerbo and Stanger73, who called in. We talked about the Marines and illegal immigration; and it’s a small world. Special guest in the chatroom for a bit – Cimarron!

This week and next, TMBWitW is on “vacation” – that is, she isn’t scheduled to be in the office, but since her team is already a skeleton crew, she has no choice but to do some work from home becasue she doesn’t want to walk into a huge pile when she returns on the 28th, just in time for year end. The silver lining is that we get to spend a lot of time in the house together along with MEG. MEG, by the way, is potty-training. FOr the most part, she is potty trained – but still doesn’t fully grasp the whole “poop in the potty, not in your panties” thing. We’re working on it.

My job has been spotty lately, with the end of the year and it being a “dedicated” deli, most of the newspaper folk are taking lots of time off between now and the end of the year, so there’s really no need for a third person right now. So, I have off until after the first of the year. (insert twiddling of thumbs here)

This Friday night, at 2200 MST, The “O” Word will be on the air. Just right for following the Friday Follies on Pastor Ed and Annie B.

This Sunday evening, TMBWitW, MEG and I will be joining our good and wonderful friends to tour the Luminaria at the Desert Botanical Gardens. This has become an annual tradition, and we look forward to it every year. The Gardens are lit up with thousands of Luminaria, and there are several musical guests scattered throughout the gardens. Last year, there was an installation of glass sculptures by Chihuly.

No, I’m not moving – the show is. I decided to move my BlogTalkRadio show, The “O” Word, to 2130 hours Mountain Standard Time on Friday nights. This decision was made in a well-reasoned, thoughtful manner, after not sleeping all night because a certain young lady refused to lay down and close her eyes. Until 0130.

For now – I’m headed back to bed. I’ve gotta get up in a bit and get chiropracted, then drop off TMBWitW’s dry-clean-only long coat, and then go to the church to see which decorations can be used and which ones need to be replaced…

For an under-employed guy, I sure am busy. Be sure to join me tonight.

UPDATE: Today’s question (leave the answer in the comments section): WHat role brought Max Baer, Jr., to our attention? Hint: he turned 72 this week.

Are you wearing red?

Good show this morning on The “O” Word on BlogTalkRadio:

I sent out a prayer request for “Concrete Bob” Miller, who suffered a heart attack, we talked about snakefish and eels found in places they logically shouldn’t be, and my grand-nephew Jacob will be joining us today. In Celebrity Birthdays, today’s question – Who is Anni-Frid Lyngstad? She turned 64 this week, why is she famous? Leave your answer in the comments. I talked about Holiday Mail For Heroes – follow that link to participate. Big thanks to Paul “Prying1” Young, co-host of Left Coast Righteo and Harvest Pastor of Harvest Radio for calling in and contributing.

I have a BlogTalkRadio show, called The “O” Word” on Friday mornings at 0700 hours Mountain Standard Time. Sometimes, I go into a show and don’t have the faintest idea what I am going to talk about. Sometimes, it works out, and other times… not so much. I am asking you, my readers who might also be my listeners, to help me out by suggesting stories that I might research and talk about on the show.

They don’t have to be anything deep and thoughtful – the farmer down the road from you who has the two headed calf would be a good story point to start from – and as my listeners know, the rabbit trails get pretty convoluted after the first sentence. So , really, anything would work. Leave a suggestion in the comments here, and I will even credit you with the idea seed on the air.

Yes, this would make you co-producers of the show. I’ll read the credits at the end, if you would like, and you can hear your name on the air then, too. Anything. Anything at all.

(actually, I got this idea from Dirty Jobs – Mike Rowe is always asking viewers for ideas, and they are well over 200 episodes…

Meanwhile, I’ll be working on the family tree some more. Click the “Wisconsin Cartters” tab on the headliner to see how far I’ve gotten.
