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!!!!"

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

Weekly Wrap Up

Another week has come and gone...we were very busy with Kids Kan for the Memphis Food Bank...we should get a total next week on the amount of food collected for those in our area in need.

We delved into several topics and questions....like today the question was 22% of men will do this everyday while getting ready for work....what is it? The answer......leave a glob of toothpaste in the sink! This is simply one reason why I contend that having a bathroom with double sinks can save a marriage.

On our Saturday show this weekend , you can hear moments from this weeks show and find out....

how you can get on NBC's Last Comic Standing,

what it feels like to be on Who Wants to be a Millionaire,

how to get tickets to the Variety Children's Charities Wild Game Dinner

what movies you should see (or avoid!) with the Movie Mom,

and why did Ron see a naked man on the golf course!

Ron returns on Monday and I am sure he will have more stories from his guy trip....he went with 23 friends....there is sure to be PLENTY of fodder for a radio show on Monday. Join us, won't you!!

Have a great weekend,

K
