Shout Out
to Ken & Tammy at 96.5 WOXL and not just because I won a free lunch from them. It’s always cool to find out someone you’re a fan of is also a fan of yours. Brad & Angelina — are you out there?
I’ll be helping out at The Garden Station this Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday, so stop by and say Hi. And as always, have a great weekend!
