Thank you Vets
 Posted 11/11/2009 4:00:00 PM
Howdy folks. Today I would like to say thank you very much to all our veterans out there. They have made so many sacrifices for us and our country and I am grateful for it. Thanks also to their families, who have really hard jobs as well. In the 6 PM hour today we are going to play the interview of Tom's dad, Harold, who is a vet himself. I have to say it's a pretty moving piece - be sure to stay tuned.
My dog and I graduated last night from the TOUCH program at Support Dogs! The ceremony was really nice and we even had cake and cookies afterwards. Now Tattles and I just have to secure a job! We are hoping to do PAWS for reading, which means we will visit a school each week and the kids will read to my dog. Fun times. I'm just ...
Eureka!

I know we are all watching our pocketbooks a lot more lately, and because of this, every time I go to Starbucks and pay $4 for a drink I feel a little guilty. I've restricted myself to one visit per week, which I think is pretty good, but I still want to go all the time. Well, I think I've finally figured out a way to trick myself into thinking I've had Starbucks without actually going! What is it, you ask? Well, i bought Starbucks ground coffee at the grocery store. This morning I made a pot of coffee with it before I left for work, doctored it up with some sugar and whole milk, and put it in my Starbucks mug. Voila! Yummy almost-Starbucks drink that I can enjoy at work without paying so much money. AWE-SOME. Definitely the best part of my day so far.
Today our ...
Get with the program

So I'm trying to get updated here at work. Like technology updated. No more CD's for me, people! I'm moving on to flash drives and removable hardware and such! It's a slow process trying to get all the kinks worked out, but it will be nice in the long run not wasting a bunch of CD's all the time. I can't believe radio people used to use 8-tracks and such, so crazy.
Things are pretty quiet here at work today. We have the Sweet 16 of the best body coming up on the show tonight, that should be pretty interesting. I vote for Tom Terbrock in his French maid's costume.
Be sure to come downtown this weekend for the Veteran's Day parade! Mark, Tom and I will be riding in it and we would love to see tons of people there. Come support our Veterans and enjoy a 70 degree ...
Another great night, another bad morning

So I hope you all showed up to the DGS Halloween bash at the Q bar on Friday night! It was a lot of fun and there were a ton of great costumes! There are pictures on the front page of the night - we got some really good ones of Tommy in his French maid's costume. He looked great, let me tell you!
It's hard to believe it's November already. Tom, Mark and I will all be at the Veteran's Day Parade on Saturday so you should join us downtown! I'm pretty excited, as I've never been in a parade before. No wait, that's not true - I've been in parades before but never in a truck! Details, details, I know. Hope you are having a happy Monday!
Halloween-ies

Hi everyone
and Happy Halloween Eve Eve!
Things are
moving quickly over here today, we are all trying to get things done before the
big Best of DGS Halloween retrospective tomorrow! Yes, that’s right, 8 years of Halloween shows
all packed up into a tidy 3 hour bundle.
I’ve been working on it all week and I like to think it’s pretty
good. Be sure to catch it tomorrow OR on
Saturday from 4-7 PM!
Tomorrow
night we are going to the Quintessential Bar in St. Charles and will be rockin’ with the DGS
band. I’m pretty excited to see everyone’s
costumes – there’s always some really funny stuff out there. I’m also excited to see Tom dressed as a
French maid – I’m trying to convince him right now he should wear some
lipstick, but as of now he is resisting the ...

One thing you learn really quickly in radio: enjoy each day,
each show, like it is your last. Cause one day, probably a lot sooner
than you thought, it will be.
Today I say goodbye to my pal Rick Sanborn.
On one hand, it's not totally sad, because he’s going over to K-Hits in the
mornings, so he still has a job. On the
other hand, it IS totally sad because he will no longer be on the Dave Glover Show.
What are we going to do without Paw Paw? Who will feed me chocolate-covered coffee
beans every day and bring me new cool music to listen to? Who will defend the Rolling Stones against
every other band on the planet? Who will
bring in sardines every day to eat in a small studio and champion the virtues
of peanut butter until he’s out of ...
Lovely Weather

What a beautiful day today! Actually, yesterday was pretty nice too. I spent the better part of the afternoon scraping peeling paint off the side of my house and repainting it. I guess that's just the kind of thing you do when you own a house, though, eh? It looks better now so I guess that's a job well done.
Have you watched any good scary movies lately? I've heard Paranormal Activity is really good - so good that I don't even want to see it! It's all about hearing scary noises in a house, ack. I prefer to stick to only MILDLY scary movies, such as Coraline. If you haven't checked this out yet, you should - it's definitely Halloween-y, wooot!
