My Dad was a Roofer, normally up and moving in the 3:30-4:00am range (typically busting my grapes as I came home from a gig), home by 2:30-3:00pm everyday.

How were you able to stay away away until 4 in the morning? That 5 hour energy drink?

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

see, you had some fun at Mac's expense...I had some fun at your expense...and you had some fun at my expense...The Circle of Life!

SiD, it's scary but I'm actually starting to not mind you anymore...

It's lifestyle that requires a commitment to naps and naps don't make most people ever feel fully rested. You wake up from an afternoon nap feeling disoriented and zapped of energy.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

The occasional show from home isn't a bad idea.. but I think it has flaws. I've read many criticisms here about Boers broadcasting from home. It's always best to have two hosts in the same room... and the energy of the city rubs off on a show. Best place for a radio show: a radio studio.

I was thinking about Chowderhead's roofer/dad getting up at 3:30. On a roof before dawn? Correct assuming he also was a chowderhead? I can't think of another reason to lay shingles in the dark.

Also if you fuck someone like they are a millionaire they might go try to be one.

Why the disappointment, gd? It was an easy project for my first foray into books. What I also learned is to get paid well for a book, it requires a few credits first. If this book does okay -- and in publishing, that means it sells 20,000 copies -- I'll get a bigger pay day for "Dangerous Talk" in a year or two. I think you'll find it a fun, easy read and a good barroom conversation starter. I also am mulling two other book ideas.

As for the clean break, I hear what you're saying. There are many things that will be different about the next radio show... likely that will include partner(s). I've toyed with the idea of a Mac, Jurko and Terry show, but it's unlikely for a handful of reasons, the biggest is it would be far too expensive during this Depression.

Please tell me you are not creating a book of lists.

Mornings. I go back and forth on it, Frank. Second week after being shown the door... I actually tried getting up at 4:00 a few times to see how it felt at 3:00 in the afternoon. It didn't take me long to abort the experiment. If it looks like mornings is where it will be, I will go back to "training" for it for a month before it actually begins. You have to respect guys like Brandmeier for doing it all those years. Nobody ever feels caught up on sleep via naps. It definifely is a lifestyle changer. Never would have been possible for me six, seven years ago.

Aaaahhhh......yul'be fiiine!

SO Jb, I think it's safe to say 3 to 4 guys in our FFL will be working in Chicago radio come our draft?

Or Vando, who's shovel-ready for Wisconsin Sports Weekend on WTMJ 620.

Honesty first: it's a damn fine month to be on the bench. Until the Bulls actually made trades and Paxson emerged from the bunker, it had become horribly redundant and BORING. That aside, I haven't missed it much. Miss being around the team (players, dugout, clubhouse)... but I haven't missed sports talk in February. As well as the Hawks have played, it's a niche audience and not a "meat and potatoes"-type show driver.

Enjoying the "recruiting process." It has the potential to unnerve... and it briefly did last week... but I'm confident I can be of a use once I'm cleared to fire up a mike. In addition to radio, I've had cursory conversations with a newspaper and a website about amping up my weekly writing duties. I requested more space in the S-T next week as I'm in spring training and will hit both team's camps... waiting on their reply. Neither paper presently has a stud sports columnist. They have some decent writers, but both lack strong personalities who can swing the hammer when it's necessary. In the Trib today, Rick Morrissey unearthed that Tiger Woods is a popular athlete. Did you know that? This was a better newspaper city when Bernie Lincicome was at the Trib and Mariotti was at the S-T. So... while I consider myself a radio dork first... I'm wanting to write more.

The Afternoon Saloon (I'm taking that handle back if I wind up back in afternoons) was discussing the Oscars today. Mr. Teinowitz began a sentence with "Because I was an actor for many years....." No response from his partners. That qualifier deserved a beatdown.

I've kept up with Jurko. He finally completed his list for my lists book with the Shermanator. He wrote it in crayon, but it was solid. Book is a wrap. Released in either September or October. Full disclosure as always.... Ed did at least 60 % of the work. He got lists from more contributors than I did (though I was charged by what I got from Hawk Harrelson and Bill Petersen). He also did more lists than I did. I tend to write longer, about 1000 words on some of them, but did fewer lists.

Don't like Joe Crede in a Twins uniform. Happy for him that he got with the team that appealed to him.... but I'm not happy he's in the division. Then again, he and I can swap notes about the joys of spinal fusion surgery a few times a year when they're in town. If I'm not busy with Gardy, of course. He IS my guy.

Pitt will win the NCAA tourney. Love their team. Inside presence and good guards. Should have put a C-note down on 'em when I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago. I think they were 10/1 at the time.

Maybe I am jonesing to get back on the air. Oh well.... it's almost March. Two months to go.

Am I the first one to catch "Sports Mouth"?

Mac, you're not doing morning drive.

Damn, SHARK!! You told him!
