When people think of their dream car, some people think BMW, Jaguar or Mercedes. Me? I think this car. It's called "Project Sea Lion." Not only is it a pretty cool car, it has a pretty cool name--Sea Lion. And, it has that name for a good reason. Not only is the car fully functional on land, it can successfully take to the water with no problem.

First, let me start out by saying Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. Yes, today is Mother's Day, but it's also another day for celebration--it's Frog Jumping Day. As I write this, I think what a fitting holiday for the one and only Big Frog 104.

Today: Celebrate with a Limerick

Today is Limerick Day. Yes, a day to celebrate the form of poetry with a very distinct rhyming scheme. A limerick follows this pattern: AABBA. Meaning, the last words of lines one, two and five have to rhyme and the last words in lines three and four have to rhyme. So, to test out my poetry skills, I have decided to celebrate today by writing a limerick about Utica.
