God, family, country, and blue collar roots—in that order … that pretty much describes me. I'm a Mainer through and through. After dusting off the snow, I stumbled out of Presque Isle, Maine, back in the late 70’s to attend UMaine, and have never left the Bangor area since. From farm work, logging, aviation, education, and broadcasting, you might say I've lived an adventurous life. I love my wife (the bumper sticker on my truck says so), children, grandkids, church family, my crazy dogs, my ‘ol ‘97 GMC truck, motorcycle, country music, and a cold one once in a while to take the edge off. Be sure to listen in weekday afternoons on Maine’s Fun Country Station…Q-106.5.

What is it? Herman Munster or Frankenstein Tattoo [POLL]
Okay, you need to help settle an argument between Shirley and me. A few weeks ago we visited Belfast, Maine, doing the touristy things. I took a pile of photos while walking around. One of them was of a guy's tattoo that was strategically placed on the back of his calf...
Craziness Happens When Iron Man Stops in South Korea [VIDEO]
When I watched the video of Robert Downey, Jr. stopping in at the airport in South Korea, I thought it's pretty much what it's like when Cindy, Vanessa, JR, or me when we arrive at work in the morning...NOT! Of course when you carry the mega-star status of Downey, you can bet that he probably can't even get the morning paper without fan insanity...
Why I Saved My ‘Joan Rivers Show’ Ticket
I really don't know when I started hanging onto to certain things, but I kind of like taking them out once in a blue moon to reminisce about places I've been and the people I got to spend time with...some still here, some passed on. I am a sentimental sort...
Great Saves, Spilled Drinks, Angry Fans [VIDEO]
Combine excited and sometimes inebriated fans at sporting events with cold beverages, and it's often a recipe for disaster. And just because you get home smelling like Bud Light, doesn't always mean you've been throwing them back, others may have baptized you whether you like it or not...
Party Pooper Sports Fan Dislikes Beach Ball [VIDEO]
Sometimes it's a sporting event and sometimes it's a concert, but inevitably someone has sneaked in a beach ball for the masses to beat around the venue. Yeah, most times it's pretty amusing while other times it's a bit of a nuisance and a distraction...
Maine Fall Foliage Website Starting Color Change Reports [VIDEO]
Fall is creeping up rather quickly here in Maine. The beauty of the season attracts many thousands of tourists to our Pine Tree state with the sole purpose of 'leaf peeping.' Of course Mainers are no different. Many of us love to go cruising just to see the wondrous colors that explode from our multitude of deciduous trees...
No Oxygen on Earth for 5 Seconds Apocalyptic [VIDEO]
Don't you just love it when someone has too much time on their hands and they just sit around researching and contemplating the worst things that could ever happen to humanity? Yeah, I think they're idiots, too. Smart idiots, if that makes sense...
So, How Much Are Your Body Parts Worth? [VIDEO]
If you have ever thought about adding the 'organ donation' option to your driver's license, you gotta know that it doesn't mean that when you kick the bucket that your old Hammond or Wurlitzer monstrosity that you used to bang out Lawrence Welk tunes on every Saturday night while dressed in polyester will go to your favorite charity...
Dad’s Toilet Roll Change Video Sarcastic and Funny [VIDEO]
It happens here at work more than it ever has at home, but some people seem to lack the basic skill of changing the toilet paper roll once it has become empty. As you know, sometimes it can be a big hassle, especially when the new roll is not within reach...
Project Wing from Google Delivers Products by Air [VIDEO]
When I first heard of 'Project Wing' from the tech giant, Google, I thought it would never get off the ground. Apparently, not only has it literally gotten off the ground, but it's already being tested in Australia. Sure, there are a few things to work out, but I can see that it might have a future in how products you desire are delivered to your home...
