Nice

Caught up in the winter blahs? Yeah, it's cold and windy, a little icy, and you have to bundle up to get from your house to your car, from your car to work, from work to your car (do you see a pattern here?) and you'd give anything for day where's sunny and 55 degrees.

 Fret not there's things to do to pass the time. My wife like jigsaw puzzles. She sets up a table and away she goes. Me? I keep tabs on some baseball teams. You see in about a month pitchers and catchers report to spring training. I know that means we're on the backside of winter.

 Still, waiting for that BIG snowstorm. I'm sure it'll catch us when we least expect it.

 Nice, that's what you'll wish for the next time you watch a  weather forecast. When's is it going to be nice again. Well, it's pretty nice right now, if you're into ice fishing.

Nice Donation!

A worker at a Texas thrift store made an unusual discovery while going through a box of donations – $17,050 in the pocket of an old coat. Guadalupe Reesor, who works at the Resale Shop owned by Jewish Family Service in Richardson, was sorting clothing donations and examining them for stains and holes when she discovered something in the pocket of a black pea coat – $17,050 separated into four envelopes. Reesor brought the cash to her boss, Assistant Manager Kristina Russell and Russell contacted Cathy Barker, chief operating officer at Jewish Family Service. The workers examined the envelopes and discovered one of them bore a name they connected to an entry in the store’s donor database. The donor, a 78-year-old widow named Sheri, said she donated her husband’s old coat after his death in January. She said she did not know about the stash of cash. The store cut Sheri a check for the $17,500 found in the coat’s pocket. Sheri awarded Reesor $1,000 for her honesty.

Finally Friday

Some random thought about spring time to share today. Saw on Facebook a satellite photo of the thousands of bird migrating to Nebraska. Pretty impressive, many in south central Nebraska at Harlan, also along the Platte River, spring must be coming soon. The calendar flipped from February to March, another sign of spring is on its way. However, don't discount the late winter snow storm that is able to bring activities to a grinding halt. We may see one yet! I could do without it. It's the Lenten season, seems every town has at least one organization with a weekly fish fry. I won't mention any particular one, just pick one out,  you'll probably bump into friends, neighbors, or relatives. Bon appetite'. Baseball is underway on all levels. The majors, college, high schools, and even the little leagues are getting the gear out for another season.  Don't let Easter sneak up on you, it's on April Fools Day. You can tell Easter isn't far off. It r...

Iler Smiler

Now, here's that Ronnie Milsap story I teased the other day. Years ago (the late 70's) I was working for KTOM Country in Salinas, California and Ronnie Milsap was in concert at the Circle Star theater San Carlos, California just south of San Francisco, I was representing the station because we gave a concert tickets on the air. Ronnie is on stage, which by the way is a circle stage and slowly goes around during the performance so everyone in the crowd has a great seat. Anyway, Ronnie Milsap is blind-for those who didn't know that-and he slowly starts talking to the crowd and walking toward the edge of the stage. Now I'm thinking he better stop because it's about a five foot drop. But he nudges closer and closer to the edge and stops just in time..whew! He then says I really love my band members and trust them all the time, in fact, they say I got at least another 3 feet of stage left in front of me and begins to laugh. The joke was on us and he started singing ...
