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.

2nd Graders Surprising Reactions to Realistically Proportioned Doll [VIDEO]
I believe that often times we don't give our kids enough credit in the intelligence department. Kids are pretty savvy these days and can be pretty good judges in reality and fantasy. For example, we work hard to protect them the marketing gurus who, as you know, go after them with their latest toys or gizmos hoping they can convince them to bug the heck out of us to buy it for them...
Things About Men’s Clothing We Bet You Didn’t Know [VIDEO]
Most of the guys I know are less concerned today about the clothes they wear in regards to being on top of the fashion world than they were thirty years ago. Sure, it's nice to buy and wear a pretty cool looking leather jacket for instance, but not a lot of thought goes into where it may have really come from and who designed it...
Female Celebrity Impressionist is Hilarious [VIDEO]
There are and always have been quite a few male celebrity impressionists throughout the years, but you don't always hear women doing a multitude of impressions. So when I found this video of the very beautiful and talented Lauren O'Brien nailing a number of well-known celebrity impressions I just had to share it...
‘Text Me Merry Christmas’ an Instant Song Success [VIDEO]
I'll be honest, I don't text, nor do I have a phone that can really perform that function. Before you judge I totally get the attraction, but it's not for me. However, when I came across a song that combines texting and Christmas, I knew it would be an instant success...
Pentatonix Sings Mary Did You Know [VIDEO]

Dad Laughs at Kids Who Got Into Paint [VIDEO]
Kids sure can get themselves into some awful messes. Not too long ago I remember my grand kids getting into markers more than once and making a mess upon themselves and the walls. It's funny, for sure. And as a parent you want to be stern and discipline them, but you just can't help but laugh...
Glen Campbell Proves There are Things You Don’t Forget [VIDEO]
I'm sure you feel the same, but Glen Campbell will always hold a special place in my heart. His music will endure for generations to come.

Italian Man Struggles to Pronounce Name of Famous Sauce [VIDEO]
There are words that are just hard to pronounce. For me, 'regularly' or 'particulary' trips me up. Sometimes they flows pretty easily, but most times the sound comes out pretty lame. I struggle with a lot of medical terms too. But it's really funny when someone of an older generation and culture tries to pronounce words like 'Worcestershire...
Scared at First Magic the Horse Learns to Love a River [VIDEO]
Ask anyone who has worked around horses and they'll tell you that in some ways they are a lot like people, and some might even say smarter too. Horses, like many domestic animals, have their own personalities--like people. Some are feisty, rambunctious, happy, mean, loving, cold, and some are a bit skittish...
