60 seconds Inside my Head-Which is 58 seconds too long for me........How bout this idiot near Nederland who abducts two people and ties them to a tree? They caught this guy who turns out to be homeless and has had some minor run-ins with the law. If he's not out looking for a job, just throws his a-- in jail and let him rot........Had the pleasure of sitting next to University of Colorado Athletic Director Mike Bohn at the recent Sports Corp Football Kickoff luncheon. Mike and I actually played basketball against each other in high school. He gave an impassioned speech about supporting college football and college sports in general and all the good things that come with it. He is a great leader for CU Athletics and one of the good guys in sports.....I've spent more time at the pool already this summer than I have spent in the last 10 years combined-which means I've bought every bottle of Aloe I can find in town-My nickname is "aspirin.".......Was not a big Larry King fan but I do think he is a great interviewer. 2 things he does all media types should learn-he asks short questions, and when he has an author on, he never reads the book prior to the interview....Things that bother me-When I am in line to pay for something and ahead of me is 10 members of 1 family. Look, one of you can pay for your purchase-the other 9, get out of line please......And finally, my vacation has arrived. DJ Mccoy, Charlie Stone and Ann Boswell will drive the bus while I remember what the term "sleep in" means.

"Catch the Deluge in a Papercup"
So Joran Van Der Sloot admits to killing a young woman in Lima Peru. Finally that creep will get what he deserves. I would love the Peruvian Police to question him about Natalie Holloway. The Aruban authorities don't seem to have a clue....I've had this sitting on my desk for a week-"A United Nations investigator wants the U.S. to stop CIA-directed drone attacks on suspected islamic militants in Afghanistan and Paikstan. Philip Alston said there's a risk of developing a "Playstation" mentality because the operators of the drones are far away from the battlefield." HUH? You have to be kidding me. We are saving American lives thanks to technology and this yoyo thinks we should stop? Why? Because its unfair? How bout asking the Afghnaistan militants and Pakistan militants to observe rules of war and not kill women and children? Mr Alston you are an idiot.....I just got done moving. It's amazing the stuff I forgot I had...Am loving the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Hope it goes 7 and the Blackhawks win..... Final thought, and I stole this from YouTube-Dan Fogelberg's "Same Ole Lang Syne finishes with this-"She gave a kiss to me as I got out and I watched her drive away. Just for a moment I was back in school, and felt that old familiar pain. As I turned to make my way back home, the snow turned in to rain." Think about you and relationships. That line says it all. You either get it or you don't get it. Dan Fogelberg is still missed. He passed away December 2007.

And Now a Word From our Sponsor.......
Tv's are getting bigger and cell phones are getting smaller. Before you know it the cell phone will turn into the Dick Tracy Watch.......Hope you join us at Territory Days Memorial Day Weekend in Old Colorado City. Our tent will be at 25th and Colorado. Should be a lot of fun. If you love music, there will be 16 bands performing over all 3 days.....If you see any live pictures of the oil leak in the gulf your first thought is, "That should be pretty easy to fix." Then you realize its 5 thousand feet below the surface, and you can't send anything other than robots down there. The emergency plans they had for this type of situation need to be re-thought for future off-shore drilling.....Saw KC and The Sunshine Band recently in Las Vegas. His boogie shoes are a bit slower these days but the audience still loved him. He's out there at age 59 still drawing crowds.....Next week KVOR will give you a chance to win tickets to shows at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo. The "On Sale" date for tickets is June 5th......Guilty pleasure-Rocky Road Ice Cream with marshmallow topping.....Final thought-is it football season yet?

It Goes in One Ear and Out........
Okay. I am finally ready for summer. I was the guy wanting another snowstorm and I got it a couple of weeks ago. Now time to play in the sun..........Have really enjoyed watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs the last several weeks. Its killing my beauty sleep however........KVOR has some cool things lined up for our booth at Territory Days Memorial Day Weekend. Hope you come out and say hi........Off year elections this year should be fascinating. To me, one of the big questions is, have Tea Parties helped or hurt republicans? Don't have the answer to that. But they have certainly re energized many conservatives around the nation....I am a big time concert guy. This year I will see KC and the Sunshine Band-yes, still alive and well and killin it. Might take in Chicago and the Doobie Brothers, Sting and the Royal Philharmonic at Red Rocks, and maybe 1 or 2 others.

60 Seconds with Me
The best investment I made in the last 6 months? I bought a back scratcher. How I lived without it I will never know.....Phones are getting smaller and TV's are getting bigger. And when you get a big screen TV you can't ever remember using a 20 or 30 inch TV...........People ask me if I really do have a Sleep Number Bed by Select Comfort, and the answer is yes I do. Its a wonderful bed, and as much as I travel I guarantee you, its the best bed I have ever slept on.......I like the old days when I could simply walk into a local pharmacy and have a prescription filled. Now, I have to know my patient id number which is 14 characters long-and I have to mail it to Arizona, then wait 10-14 days to get it back. Take your time guys, its only keeping me alive....When I order pizza I now do it online. Its crazy. They tell you who received the order at the store, who's making the pie, and who delivers it... Another good thing about the Internet-I never have to balance my check book. I bank online and its right there in front of me...Fisher Deberry is back in town Saturday May 8th for his annual 5k 1k run and walk. Its a great event that helps raise money for Single Family Ministry, Homefront Cares, and The Fellowship of Christian Athletes. To sign up go online to FisherDeberryFoundation.org.....Should be a fun movie summer. Sex In The City 2, the sequel to "Wall Street" with Michael Douglas. And there is a new "Star Trek in the works, and get this-Will Smith has just signed up to play the lead role in the sequel to "Independence Day." Final Thought- "Slow down-the world and all your challenges will be there when you're ready.

60 Seconds with Me
Sorry. I am the guy that loves spring snowstorms. By April most of us have had it with the bad weather. I am the exception. Blame me if we get another one before June...........I know life moves at a hundred miles an hour these days, but take 15 or 30 minutes for yourself and go for a walk, or take another way to work, or just slow down and do something different.......President Barack Obama is trying to fix everything, which is good, because my computer has been running too damn slow lately.......One of my favorite times of the year, with the NBA and the NHL Playoffs getting underway. Late nights, no sleep but great games. I can sleep in July....Best sign I have ever seen-In my doctors office. "Be nice to everybody, because everybody is battling something." Think about that. May not seem like it on the outside, but its so true....We are out at the El Paso County Tea Party Event April 15th at Acacia Park. The on the 16th if you get a moment please stop by our studios on Corporate drive for our "Boost To the Brave" promotion. We are gathering sundries for our troops in Afghanistan-chap stick, pumpkin seeds, baby wipes, men's vitamins, beef jerky, toothpaste, deodorant-things we take for granted. There's a full list at KVOR.com.

Something You Need to Do
I spent a weekend with 8 longtime friends. We grew up and went to high school together and had been planning this visit for about 4 months. We called it, "The Year we Turn 50
Celebration." When you get with people you haven't been around in a while you assume they are the same people you remember. My buddies were. But it was interesting to watch and listen as we talked about raising kids, politics, the economy-all these issues that escaped us when we were 16 years old. We all turned out different in some ways. The best example was when 3 of us went shopping for food for the rest of the group. But the best part about our visit was I realized how important these people were in my life. And its not that I never knew that. But it was reaffirmed. Even though I hardly see most of the guys they represent a special time in my life. It made me appreciate them and me even more. We all have our struggles and challenges, and success stories. It's something I strongly recommend you do-whether its college friends, or high school chums. It will remind you who you were, but more importantly who you now are. Those 8 buddies are priceless to me-people i can always count on in good times and bad. I hope you are as lucky as me and have friends like that. Plan a get together with them. Life's too short not to do it.
