It’s so nice to get some good news on a personal level during these crazy economic times where you just got to be glad to be working and drawing a pay check. And mine arrived courtesy of all of you. I just wanted to personally thank you for making the afternoon show here at rock 101 (that I’m so fortunate to be the host of) #1 in the ratings once again.  I can’t thank ya’ll enough for supporting what I’ve tried to bring to the airwaves here in the upstate and for all the support you give us all here at Rock 101. We are only as good as you help us be with your ideas and through your support of our efforts here in the community. Anitra, Larry, Stoney and all our weekend crew have become a very close nit group almost like family and we couldn’t do what we do without your constant and very loyal support, so thank you all for making rock 101 WROQ parts of your lives.      You know one of the reasons I enjoy being in the upstate is the great friends I’ve made here and how much it reminds me of all my friends I grew up with back in the “great white north”.      And brings me to another thing I’m so grateful for, the ability to be heard on the radio all around the world via the internet. It’s so nice to know that my family and friends can get to hear me do my thing no matter where they live. In the past few weeks I’ve gotten e-mails from a couple of friends who wanted to comment on certain things or songs on my show and it just really gave me a great lift to know that my friends in California, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and even Oregon can listen in on what I’m doing every day. They all still think I’m a jack ass but at least they can check in and know I still am! One of them, my late brother’s best friend told me he listens to me every day and that along with the fact that my daughter in Texas can hear me, and at five years old can actually listen to podcast of her daddy on her I-pod shuffle!      And despite my football team stinking up the whole Midwest this year, my Hockey team is off to another great start and I’m grateful for that too.      I just realized that maybe I should have saved this blog until we are closer to thanksgiving, but I guess maybe it’s good to stop and give thanks for good things in your life a little more often than once a year. It reminds you of the good things you have in your life!
