Broncos Win In Preseason Opener

The Broncos won their first preseason game Monday night. They beat the 49ers 17-13. Jay Cutler looked pretty good. He just played a short time. I was also very impressed with Travis Henry. I think that he is going to be a stud for the Broncos this year. I LOVE THE BRONCOS!!!

Van Halen is Back!!!

I got an e-mail from Live Nation Promotions this morning. Van Halen is back with original lead-singer, David Lee Roth. They also have a new bass player. It's Eddie Van Halen's son, Wolfgang. Yes, Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar are no longer with Van Halen. I am one of the few that liked Van Halen better with Sammy. They are going to be in K.C. on October 26th. I am working on a bus trip for winners on a couple of our stations. I am planning on going, too. Should be cool!

Well, it's official. Yuck!

Well, he did it. Barry Bonds hit Home Run #756 on Tuesday night against the Washington Nationals. He is the new "Home Run King." I am not too happy about this. I am not a Bonds fan at all. He has been a jerk to fans for years. The only fond memory I have of Bonds was being at a Colorado Rockies game against the Giants with my friends Scott, Chris and Mike on one of our "guys only" trips to Colorado. My Aunt Kris hooked us up with great seats at the game and we were withing yelling distance of Bonds when he was in the on-deck circle. My friend Mike started razzing him and got everyone in our area laughing and joining in. Bonds looked up and gave us a weird look. That was cool, because Mike was trying all night to get him to look, and he finally did. Very funny.

I can only now hope that someone beats Bonds for the Home Run record. Oh yeah, I think that this record is now tainted.

Happy B-Day To Peg!

August 7th is a great day! It's my Aunt Peg's B-Day. She's had a busy summer. Her son just got hitched a couple of weeks back in Wisconsin and I believe that her and Uncle Ken have spent some time at the condo at Lake of the Ozarks. They haven't made it through Wichita lately, though! We miss you guys.
Happy Birthday Aunt Peg! I love ya!

I have been on this bridge a few times.

I am sure that everyone has heard the news about the bridge collapse in Minneapolis. I got a call from my brother and he has been up there covering the story for ABC News. He said that it was terrible.
I had driven over that bridge numerous times. I used to go to Minneapolis every summer for the Conclave Radio Convention. I have also been on the River under that bridge. A few years ago one of the record labels took a bunch of us on a Mississippi cruise for a night. We went up and down the river. It's very weird to think that something like that can happen. What is very weird is the video that was supplied by the Army Corps of Engineers. You can see it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y29LMymfCY

One member of the family is Vegas bound!

As I had mentioned awhile back, I am not going to make it to Vegas for Tami's wedding. I would love to get out there and see everyone, and the city, but can't make it. Kristi Hubbard will be in Sin City, though!

Kristi will be in Vegas in Mid-August with her friend, Debbie. Debbie and her husband were scheduled to go out there, but he's stuck working. So, she called and invited Kris to go. Debbie's son does sound and lights for different concerts, tours and shows nationally. He recently did some work at some different places in Vegas and was able to get one heck a hook-up for Debbie. Those lucky gals!!! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Just kidding!

Within 1 Game of First Place, Baby!!!

The Cubbies are almost there! They are 1 game out of first place in the National League Central division. I am so excited. They have a great chance this year! All my friends are saying, "they're the cubs, they'll screw something up!" I hope that's not the case. We'll see what happens. GO CUBS GO!!!
