"American Idol" Star in Town

It's been a busy week at the station. We had the group Shinedown in concert on Monday night. Tuesday it was Daughtry. Here's a picture with me and Chris Daughtry from the sound check Tuesday afternoon. It shocked America when we was not picked as the "American Idol" a couple seasons back. It went to Taylor Hicks. Who? Exactly!

Chris was a great guy. He has the same favorite band as me, Live. We talked for awhile about Live and the Daughtry show that I caught in Dallas a couple weeks back. They are going to be in Kansas City this weekend. He said that we oughta head up and check out the show again. We might. Kris hasn't seen them before. They are going to be in K.C. with Nickelback and Puddle of Mudd. That's the show I saw in Dallas. It was AWESOME!

Michael Vick Pleads Guilty.

I got this picture e-mailed to me from my sister-in-law (SISTER) Darla. It's pretty funny. It's poking fun at Michael Vick's stupidity. On a serious note, here's the latest with Michael Vick's situation.

Michael Vick apologized to the NFL and his Atlanta Falcons teammates Monday for "using bad judgment and making bad decisions" and vowed to redeem himself of charges in a dogfighting case.
Shortly before making his first public statements, the star quarterback pleaded guilty to a federal dogfighting charge and awaited a Dec. 10 sentencing date that likely will send him to prison.
"First I want to apologize for all the things that I've done and that I have allowed to happen," Vick said at a news conference following his appearance in U.S. District Court.
"I made a mistake in using bad judgment and making bad decisions," he said. "Dogfighting is a terrible thing."
He concluded by saying, "I offer my deepest apologies to everyone. And I will redeem myself. I have to."

Reality Show Star in Serious Condition.

I am a big "Reality T.V." fan. I like the show "Hogan Knows Best." It's the show about Wrestler Hulk Hogan and his family. Something bad happened to Hulk's son, Nick on Sunday night. Here's the official release:

CLEARWATER, Fla. - The son of professional wrestler Hulk Hogan was seriously injured in a car crash Sunday night, police said. A Toyota Supra driven by Nick Bollea was traveling at a high rate of speed at approximately 7:30 p.m., Clearwater Police spokesman Wayne Shelor said. Bollea, which is Hogan's real name, lost control and hit a raised median. The car flipped around, and the back end hit a palm tree. "The car was destroyed," Shelor said.

Bollea and an unidentified male passenger were extricated from the car by paramedics, Shelor said. Then they were airlifted to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. Their official conditions were not immediately available, but Shelor described the injuries of both men as serious.

The crash occurred on State Route 60, a main drag through downtown Clearwater. The road had to be shut down in both directions for several hours, Shelor said. Alcohol is not believed to have played a part in the crash. The crash seems to have been caused by excessive speed, Shelor said.

Ready For Kindergarten!

Zach had his "official" first day of school today. Here he is with his teacher, Ms. Stevens. He seemed to like it. I hope that he's not a class clown like his father was. That would not be good at all.

Back Home.

We got back to Wichita about 4 a.m. on Monday. Here's a picture that Scott took of me at Texas Stadium on Saturday night while the Broncos were warming up. Yes. That's sweat! It was nasty hot that night.

Congrats to Tami and Keith.

Congrats to my cousin Tami and her new husband, Keith. They were hitched Saturday night in Las Vegas. I was hoping to make it to the big event, but was unable to do so. My brother, mother, grandma, aunts, uncle cousin and other family and friends made it out there.
It is so weird to think of my little cousin Tami as a married woman now. I wish you both the best of luck and congrats on marriage!

Happy Birthday Bub!

Happy Birthday Jeremy! Today is his 35th Birthday. He was born on August 19, 1972 in Glenwood Springs, CO. He's celebrating the big day in Vegas! He is there for my cousin Tami's wedding that happened on Saturday night. Have a great time on the strip and have a Happy Birthday bub! Love you!
