Time to rise and shine, happy Coso folks!
Yeah, yeah, I know... chipper morning people can be SO annoying. 😜
Pro tip: If you answer the phone and say "Hello, you're on the air!" most telemarketers will hang up quickly.
Woke up with a bit of a sore throat this morning (which is never a good thing for a radio/TV person). so I'm sticking with ice coffee instead of hot coffee.
Food for thought (unfortunately the people who most need to hear this seem incapable of rational thought).
#FirstWorldProblems: Catching up on an insane amount of email after being offline for four days.
I'm back from Dragon Con and trying to figure out how to re-integrate myself into the "real world".
I don't wanna be in the real world. I wanna stay in fantasy land.
As a proud military veteran, I believe any other vet who still supports Cheetolini after his disrespectful behavior at Arlington should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
I'm supposed to leave for Dragon Con is a few hours. I guess I should start thinking about packing...
...but not before coffee.

A Chinese friend of mine once said, "America smells like coffee."
I'm okay with that. ☕
Being an adult is having the "we have food at home" talk with yourself.
"...and then God said, 'Let there be coffee' and it was good and all was well with the world..." ~ The Gospel According To Juan Valdez.
So guess who had their very first mani/pedi today? 😎 👣 🙌
Success is 1% inspiration, 98% perspiration and 2% attention to detail.
Guess who has to do laundry today? And that's between having to make an in-person visit to the office, get my HVAC guy over to the house (downstairs AC is on the fritz), and do a number of household chores that I never enjoy.
Adulting sucks.
It’s hard to get dressed when a cat decides to sit on the clothes you laid out for the day.
If you ever feel useless, remember that there are referees at a WWE match.
Is there any better smell in the morning than freshly brewed coffee?
I think not.
