Bruce
You never know what you will get when you tune in to the Bruce in the Morning Show. I will make fun of just about anybody and anything. If it's on your brain, then we can talk about it, so I always invite you to be a part of the show.
Every now and then, I get an email that is worth sharing. Everyone knows I don't have much of a sense of fashion. I wear jeans and polo shirts for the most part and I keep the colors pretty basic. The email I received this morning delves into the fashion aspect of the dating world. Here it is:
I'm one of those people that believe Christmas decorations should not be put up until after Thanksgiving. I enjoy the holidays, but I also like for them to have a special feeling. I think we lose some of that when we start seeing stores display Christmas merchandise after the day after Halloween. Some retailers have had their displays up for weeks already. Apparently, I'm not alone.
I was talking about this on the air this morning and there was so much response that I decided to post it here too. My friend's young son called her "the B-word," so she said he couldn't go trick-or-treating for Halloween. Is that too harsh? Should she let him go? Or should she be consistent and make her threats of punishment have merit?
As usual, a good time was had by all at the first Halloween celebration at Dukes & Boots. Over $500 in cash and prizes was awarded to participants in the costume contest. Part two is Halloween night with a $500 cash to the best costume. Here are some pics. Comment on them and share them!
I hear about people destroying their phones all of the time. Jumping into a pool with it in their pocket, dropping it to the ground or dropping it in the toilet. That last one I'll never understand. When you're at the toilet, you should be too busy to be using your phone. But I digress.
A mobile insurance company released the five CRAZIEST ways clients have destroyed their phones this year.
When I think about my childhood and the vacations we went on, I wonder if my parents were gluttons for punishment. My father, the high school math teacher, and my mother would put me, my brother and my sister in the back seat of the car and start the drive. It was almost always to Clearwater, Florida to visit my grandparents.
For the last 10 years, six of those in Sedalia, I have played the National Anthem each morning before the show. It is generally not something I point out nor do I put a lot of pomp and circumstance around it. I just play it. Last week, a friend of mine contacted me to tell me that she used my show as a history lesson.
It seems her cousin who is in 6th grade didn't know what our National Anthem was. He had heard it before my show, but never knew the meaning behind it. I count this as a pretty big failure on several levels, and I started to think of all the different ways I've heard the song done.
Sedalia is known as the "State Fair City," the "Cradle of Ragtime" and "Home of the Goober Burger." I posed this question on my Facebook page the other day: if you could write a slogan for Sedalia, what would it be?
