Tiger Talk!!

First, let me begin by saying,
GO TIGERS!!!

I have watched more basketball this year during March than ever before. Here at FM 100 (and at home) we picked teams in each bracket so that gives us reason to cheer on teams we might not have even watched before. Plus, my kids are really into it this year. They are 5 and 7 years old and LOVE basketball....especially the Memphis Tigers. I must admit I have always enjoyed Tiger basketball myself. I am from Memphis, I was born and raised here, but I did not go to the U of M. So while I cheer for my Alma mater, the University of Alabama, I have an equal allegiance to the U of M.... Memphis State as it was once called.

So, with all this basketball I have been watching, I feel like quite the armchair quarterback (of basketball anyway)......I know which players I like, which ones I think should go back on the bench and which ones I'll be sad to see go after this season. While I enjoy watching Coach Cal on the sidelines and all the guys play, I must admit a favorite for me has emerged... CDR.....Chris Douglas-Roberts.....why?

Of course, his basketball ability is one reason, and my 7 year old, Zachary, got a Memphis jersey with the #14 and yes, that is the number of CDR. He likes CDR too! I'd like to say congrats to the junior guard as he has been named one of four finalists for the 2008 Naismith Men's College Player of the Year Award. Go CDR and Go Tigers!! Beat Michigan State on Friday!!
My son just bought this pennant over the weekend and has it proudly displayed on his wall!!

back from spring break

One week off work, now I am back....but wait, what's that you ask....where is Ron??? Great question, he has an uncanny ability to be well for weeks on end, then get sick while on vacation only to need to pad those vacation days with a sick day. So the question remains...is he really sick and ruining his vacations or is he a manipulative, self absorbed guy who thinks the rules don't apply to him and he can have that extra day off? Hmmmm....I'll let you decide! :)

Have a great day,

Ron's Pedicure!!!

Yes, yesterday Ron's life changed forever.....he got his first pedicure!!

He was skeptical, and now he is sold!!!!!

Here are the photos......

warning....

the before picture could be disturbing

to some viewers of this blog,

but know the "after" photo may make up for it.

Here are Ron's feet before.


Here is Ron "mid-manicure" very relaxed and lotioned up.

And yes, here is Ron's after....a new toenail to replace the funky toe he has lived with his whole life. His new look, complete with Tiger blue polish, to finish the look!!

Again, thanks to our friend Wendy from Gould's Styling Salon and our new pedicuring pal Aimee. Pictured above Brett, Wendy Hays, (me)Karen Perrin, Ron (seated in mid-pedicure) Olson, and in the front, Aimee.

Is Ron wearing lipstick?

He has really lost his man card! :)

Ron and his idol Chuck

Today is Chuck Norris' birthday...and what did we learn?

Ron Olson is in love with Chuck Norris.

Who knew?

I understand he is a "man's man" and a macho one at that, anyway...Ron was soooooooooooooo excited to talk about him and look at his photos that he had to jump for joy. See photo above.
Insert you own caption but I am going with.............

"I am Ron Olson and I LOVE Chuck Norris!! YES!!!!"

Once it's May........

It is March! That means Memphis in May and the Beale Street Music Festival can't be far behind. Today (3/6) they will announce the complete line up of acts. We will have all the details for you tomorrow on the Ron and Karen show. To find out more, www.memphisinmay.org

Tomorrow, on our Ron and Karen Morning show on FM 100, special guests, Mario Lopez, the Blue Man Paul Karason, Nell Minnow "the Movie Mom" and all you need to know about American Idol and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Southern Women's Show kicks off tomorrow in Memphis and I know some of the school kids will start spring break, others have to wait until the following week.

Have a great day...Lipstick Jungle is on tonight.

Ron....right?!?!?!?!?

Okay, time for me to be honest....when I read Ron Olson's blogs, I am often repulsed, annoyed or bothered by what is at times questionable content.

However in one instance, I found it was just the opposite......
he was talking about a sandwich.................
a sandwich so good he had to blog about it....
a sandwich so good he put a picture of it on his blog.

I am so hungry and the sandwich looks so delicious, I too have decided to blog about it and "borrow" his picture so we can all drool over it together.


He loves this sandwich so much......maybe he should just marry it! :) Now all I want is an avocado BLT, actually now I want an avocado anything.

Finally, Ron is right about something....sure it's only a sandwich, but that's a start.

Emerson in Memphis

Emerson Hart returns to Memphis Tuesday night at the Hard Rock for what is sure to be a great show....one lucky listener will get to have lunch with him too!! Here he is (pictured above) on his latest CD. He is a nice guy, he has visited with us here in the studio.

Ron returned from vacation today...plenty of guy/golf stories.....more tomorrow as he remembers them, I'm sure.

Read Across America time is here....this week and all month long a focus on reading in schools. I am visiting area schools and reading to the kids....I have already been to Kate Bond Elementary and Crosswind Elementary this year. Both great schools....I know that Germantown Elementary and Getwell Elementary are having big reading celebrations this morning too! I plan to visit Ellendale Elementary today. Read everybody!! Ron would if he could. ;)

Have a great day,

Karen
