Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. Last person you were in a car with? Godzilla. Talk about bad breath!
2. Any plans for tomorrow? I’m either gonna climb Mt. Everest or climb a pyramid. I’m still pondering.
3. Best friend or close friends? Whichever one comes with benefits.
4. Is tomorrow going to be a good day? It’s a Monday. In what universe is that a good day?
5. Ever thrown up in public? No. I’ve never met the president.
6. What’s on your mind RIGHT NOW? We moved. I know you know because of all the
Before I finished, so ignore the mess.
media coverage. I finished (almost) the WTIT Johnnie Walker Studio. It’s the largest since 1996 in Framingham, MA.
7. Who was the last person you talked to? Kathy. She asked where her drill is. I replied that I haven’t used one here. She is building the furniture. We went from a four bedroom house to a two bedroom apartment. Then back into a four bedroom house. We needed a lot of furniture.
8. What is the WORST subject they teach at school? Math. I have no idea of what they do now. How did I need algebra but not taught about filing income taxes, balancing a checkbook or save for retirement? I’m not sure I’ve ever used what I learned in geometry either.
9. Have you seen anyone lately that you don’t get along with? No. I drew the line with Godzilla. When he wanted me to drive him to King Kong’s for a play date, I drew the line.
10. What is your favorite color top to wear? A black Beatles’ tee never goes out of style.
11. Have you ever been in a car accident? Yes and it was fatal. I’m the ghost of Bud.
12. What’s the closest thing to you that’s green? The entire room. The Enfield studio was painted hunter green. I loved it. So my lady painted the room before we moved.
13. Where would you like to be right now? In a hot tub with Jill Hennessy.
14. Is anything bugging you right now? Yes. Whatever happened to the fucking Republican Party? God, country & apple pie? We now have Trump, his daughter and his 12 thousand lies.
15. Is life going right for you now? Other than my back aches. I should do nothing physical, but moves don’t work that way.
16. Is there someone you care about more than yourself? Just my wife, my four children and seven grandchildren.
17. What made you laugh today? Nothing. I am depressed about WGN losing the 
Cubbies TV rights. My dad must be spinning in his grave. He died just two years early. He hated that “lovable losers” tag. He thought they’d win it all and never forgave the Bartman.
18. What was the last movie you watched? I don’t remember. I want to see the Brad Pitt scifi flick. But the Pats play at one. So not today.
19. What was the last conversation you had about? The aforementioned tool box.
20. What were you doing at 7:00 this morning? Sleeping. That’s the middle of the night for chrissakes.
21. Do you like your hair long or short? It’s been long since I retired in 2017. My wife hates it, but I said I grown it back in my retirement. I’m just a child of the sixties.
22. Do you like the rain? Does “it love me”?
Well that’s another Stealing. Was it good for you? Nope. I’ll try to up my game next time. I bought a cd for the first time in a couple of years. It’s CSNY’s live Déjà Vu. I never knew it existed until recently. It cost $5 on Ebay. I am excited about my mates seeing the house. But the Studio is all that’s ready. Kathy is on a fast train. We don’t get our basement chairs until the first week of October. We will celebrate our seventh wedding anniversary in October. My closest family member (other than the wife & kids) was my sister. We have only spoke a couple of times this year. I wrote her to say if we don’t fix it, we will see each other at weddings & funerals. That was six months ago. She called and said “I gave her things to think about”. She must be a long thinker. She called this week to suggest we get together and talk. That happens next weekend. If I hear from her. You folks have a great week. We will see you next time. Same time. Same blog.

A song that makes you sad: “Jolly Mon” by Jimmy Buffett. My the eight year-old daughter and I sang this on the way to our diner on Sundays (for years). I haven’t had a conversation with her (except at a wedding or whatever) in 18 years. I feel that loss every day. She’s happy & doing well. She recently completed her doctororeal. She has 2 kids.
act and marriage together. He never got the chance to start over.
Your favourite song with a persons name in the title: “Sweet Baby James”. He still sings great. I saw him in Hartford in the 80s.
1. Has anyone ever made fun of your taste in music? Not and lived. Seriously, Kathy has a unique taste in music. Example: She hates Billy Joel. I don’t get it.
but just made fun of her because I was insecure. We did slow dance for an houyr at a party once. The next year I met my first girlfriend, Debbie.
2. What is your favorite movie with Jack Nicholson? Kwizgiver’s blog title.
dancing and enjoying myself, I saw the woman of my dreams. I gathered up the courage to walk over to meet her. (Okay, those who know me realize that this is a lie. I am very comfortable meeting people. Particularly when alcohol is involved.) Our eyes met, she smiled, “It’s the last dance, would you care to join me?” She thought for a second and responded, “Yes. My name is Dawn”. I walked to her car, got her phone number, and made my exit, stage left.
11. What’s your favorite radio station? What kind of music do they play? WFAN. No music. Sports Talk. I have four iPods. I listen to my own music 24/7. I do still listen to new music. I regurlar check charts to add new music.
1. Have you ever had chicken pox? I had it while I was about 4 years-old. There was “The Great Flood” of 1955 and we had no power. Everything that I wanted to do (remember I was 5) they said, “Dr. Harvey doesn’t want you to do that!” At one point, I got up and my mother said, “Where are you going?” I responded, “To the bathroom if Dr. Harvey don’t mind!”
drove the good guys out of hardware. Kinda like Blockbuster drove out the video stores. (This I mention since I owned a chain of video stores in the 80s (1981-1990). They did not ruin my business. But had it gone another way, they would have.
6. Have you ever lied about your age? I don’t know if I did it as a youngin’. Not now. I don’t do it as an adult. Wait. There was this one time when I was 41 and my date was21. She asked if I was as old as her father. I asked his age. She said he was 38. I said, “I’m not that near your dad’s age.”
1. Did you date someone from your school? I was a big dater. My record was four dates on one weekend. I was kind of the jerk I used to play in this space. It was easy for me to reprise the role. But the truth is that I was very single in 2006 when I started this blog. But between then and now I’ve been in two serious relationships. The current one (met in 2010) resulted in marriage. But nothing is simple.
station in your sophomore year is nerdy. I wonder what the people who came to all our parties whould think of us still recording.
read Harold Robbins “The Adventurers” which took place in South America. So I was learning all the swears. He called on me to get up and give a talk. (Not unusual. He did it everyday to someone.) So I asked the topic. He said “Maria.” I responded. Maria es un puta con tetas muy bonitas rojas y grande.” The class looked dumbfounded because they did not understand. The teacher was rolling on the floor laughing. When asked what I’d said he said, “Ask Bud after class…” I got an “A” for that. Oh what I said meant, “Maria is a whore with big fat red tits.”
DJs at WTIT for our 50th. Two of the four wrote back updating their lives. They were in it for the parties. Tape Radio was a means. Although nearly everyone of us did college radio.
