We've talked about Blood Drives before. I'm pretty aware of them because they show up a lot for my Community Calendar stuff. Well, there are quite a few coming up, and if there's anything I like to do, it's keep you informed.

Kids, today is National Teacher's Day. I think that we all appreciate teachers in general, but I thought we might get a little more specific here.

I thought I'd share some memories of teachers I've had and worked with, and you could tell me a little about yours.  I think everyone had one of those teachers when they were a kid, that one that was your favorite.  Maybe they were funny, maybe they were kind, maybe they were just whatever you needed at the time.

So the weekend is here and you and your friends are all going to go out and celebrate Cinco de Mayo, right? Of COURSE! It's what everyone does on Cinco de Mayo weekends.

Kids, this weekend is going to bring something unusual and exciting for me. I'm going to be doing a live broadcast from the National Cattle Dog Finals in Leeton. This is going to be a great time, filled with the best of the best when it comes to the USBCHA trained dogs. So me being me, I've decided to do some preparatory work.

It's Wednesday, and we are all ready to get over this Hump Day and be on the downslide of the week as we look forward to the weekend. I hope the installments of "Would You Rather" help take your mind off of being stuck in the middle of the week, at least for the 57 seconds it takes you to read this and vote on the question.

The sports world was turned on it's collective ear yesterday, and the general news and social media today, regarding Jason Collins "coming out" as a gay man in a new Sports Illustrated issue. Make that a "black, gay man," as if that makes it any more newsworthy.

A man in the sports spotlight announces he's gay, and this is what the nation is talking about?
