Monday Memos for the week of November 30, 2009
Memo to people with scissors:
Just because you are good at cutting, does not mean that you should make your own sandals. In the case of one guy I saw onver the holiday, I suggest you stop being cheap and just buy the real flip-flops by crocs.
Memo to the Secret Service:
You guys let one slipped through (one couple I mean). Instead of trying to prosecute the “socialites,” it would be a lot easier to go after the guy who allowed them in. Under normal circumstances, it’s not like anyone can casually stroll up to the White House front door. You can’t even drive in front of the White House anymore.
Memo to the donkey couple that crashed the White House dinner:
Technically you didn’t crash the party because someone had to have let you in. In the meantime, three words for you two: Keeping Up Appearances. Just like that airhead in the Britcom, you guys think you are high society too. Keep in mind, this is real life, Hyacinth was in a sitcom.
Memo to the Detroit Lions:
I understand that you guys want to keep the tradition going, but can you at least act competetive on Thanksgiving. I didn’t even both to waste my time in watching you stink up the field.
President Obama on the passing of Wizards owner Abe Polin
from the Associated Press:
“Abe believed in Washington, D.C., when many others didn’t — putting his own fortune on the line to help revitalize the city he loved. He was committed to the teams he guided, generous to those who needed it most, and as loyal to the people of D.C. as they were to him.”
Another Reason To Be Thankful…
From HisAir.net:
Former XM The Message programmer Jim Epperlein’s wife Connie checks in with HisAir.Net today with great news regarding her husbands 10 month battle with Pancreatic Cancer. “I wanted you to know that Jim is FULLY recovered!!! He’s been strength building, eating everything he wants and he’s walking 6 miles every other day! This last weekend (11/7) marked 5 months that he’s been home from the hospital. Connie goes on to say, “Jim recently had a follow-up visit with his Family Practice doctor, Dr. Swink, who told Jim that in his 35 years of medical practice he’s “never had or heard of a more remarkable story”! This wonderful outcome is truly a MIRACLE! Thanks so much for all your love and support over these last several months!! All of this wonderful news comes during the season of thankfulness! We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and all of its special meanings . . . especially in light of our wonderful news! God Bless!
Jim has been keeping busy with the start-up of his own broadcast and consulting firm called JDE – Artist & Broadcast Consulting. In addition, in August, he started working on his Masters Degree in Communications Management at Towson University. XM laid off Jim last year he now works part time on the air at WRBS/Baltimore (95.1 SHINE FM).
I had the pleasure of meeting Jim earlier this year when he briefly came to WAVA. We were all praying that Jim would be able to beat this. Personally, knowing that WPVI-TV Philadelphia Sports Director Gary Papa lost his five year battle with this disease earlier this year, this is great news to be thankful to God for on Thanksgiving. God is real and he answers prayers.
Thanks to my friend Izzy at Star 99.1 in New Jersey for pointing me to the link.
Jim, I hope to see you on campus soon. :0)
Be Thankful
When I was a kid, my mom bought me and my sister a video (VHS for the record) of kids singing praise songs…now that I think about it, I wonder if mom still has that video. She could play it for my nephew, but I digress. On the video was a song called “Be Thankful.” I tried finding it on YouTube, but to no avail; so you will have to read this rant without any visuals. Don’t worry, I will make it worth while at the end.
