April 1, 2012 In addition to today being April Fools' Day, I was doing some searching and discovered that it's also National One Cent Day. So, I guess in celebration, give someone a penny. Other than that, there's not much more information on National One Cent Day, or how to celebrate. Although, I did find some interesting facts about pennies.
McDonald's Shamrock Shake usually comes once a year around St. Patrick's Day, but as the holiday passes, so does the elusive tasty beverage. Now you don't have to be in March (or Irish) to enjoy one year round.
March 1, 2012 Happy March 1st. We made it through January and February, and now onto the home stretch as we approach spring. But, as Yogi Berra once said "It ain't over 'til it's over", so winter weather is still in the cards. There are a number of things we can look forward to in March.
February 21, 2012 This is Presidents' Week or Mid Winter Break for many school districts, meaning kids may be home on vacation. Now what? If you as parents are working, just finding babysitters for the whole week can be a chore. But, if you're home with the kids as well and not taking a warm-weather vacation down south, you may be looking for things to keep them busy, and avoid those two dreaded words: "I'm bored".
February 21, 2012 Today is Mardi Gras, the last day for a big blowout before the start of Lent tomorrow. The celebrations have been going on all week in New Orleans including the big "Krewe of Bacchus" parade Sunday with Will Ferrell serving as the grand marshall or "Bacchus XLIV".
February 14, 2012 Today is a day of hearts and flowers, as we observe Valentine's Day. I still remember when I was a kid exchanging valentines in school (you know the bag of 1oo mini valentines for 99 cents)? And I recall my wife and I helping our kids fill out all of those little valentines for their classmates. In celebration of Valentine's Day, we're featuring two love songs on our "Country Classic Double" today at 11:30 a.m.
February 1, 2012 It's hard to believe that we made it through January already, and a mild one at that. Now we begin February with extra day this month, February 29th, as it's a leap year. So, those of you who have a February 29th birthday won't have to settle for celebrating it on February 28th or March 1st.
December 31, 2011 As we are at the last day of the year during the "Frog Days of Winter", 2011, how about some food for thought. Even though it's not "Greg's Grill", where we usually share thoughts for the day at the end of the noontime request hour, I think a timely thought is in order.
December 30, 2011 In these remaining hours of 2011 during the "Frog Days of Winter", the new year is knocking on the door. Ever since I can remember, those tabloid newspapers you see at the supermarket checkout have had cover stories entitled: "Psychics Predictions For New Year".
December 29, 2011 During the Christmas holiday season, a phrase may come up in song, "Here We Go A Wassailing", which always had me asking, "What's wassailing"? For that matter, "What's wassail"?
December 29, 2011 New Year's Eve is--without question--the biggest party night of the year with dance clubs, restaurants and private parties all offering a chance to let loose as we say goodbye to one year and hello to the next. If you are planning a New Year's Eve bash then Celebrations.com can give you a few great ideas. Should you be hosting a get together here is a video that you might want to check out to make sure your guests enjoy themselves yet get back home safe and sound.
December 26, 2011 The excitement of Christmas is wearing off but the kids still have a few more days off from school. What can you do to keep them busy? Maybe keep them occupied with the new toys and games they got from Christmas. Take them to a movie. There's no snow so sledding and tubing is out. Board games? Maybe. I came across a website that might be of use.
