TEN DAYS

into the show being in cold storage and yes, I'm bored. I'd like to tell you what we're looking into but I don't want to jeopardize anything. I will tell you there's not a lot going on these days. Radio as an industry, like most industries, is hurting, and budgets are real problems. Maybe I'll just become a personal trainer, hahaha. If you knew me you'd get the joke.

So I had this great morning taking my daughter Mina who turns 3 this weekend out to Twelve Oaks Mall, just her and me. I often don't get enough one on one time with the kids so those times are special, and this morning was really cool. To have her at that age where we can have actual conversations about things is so cool. We end up going to Max and Erma's in the mall for lunch. She can be a terror other times, but this time she was so well behaved she might as well have been 10. I thought I had this touching moment where she's looking around the restaurant and puts down her food and looks at me very seriously and says, "This is a very nice place." It seemed so mature, almost like to a 3 year old she was appreciating Max and Erma's as fine dining. I say I THOUGHT I had this touching moment because when I got home and told my wife, she pointed out that she was merely repeating a line said by Giselle in the kid's movie Enchanted. Insert Price Is Right buzzkill music here. I'm sitting there thinking how grown up she's acting and all she was doing was what I've done for years, quoting movie lines. Lines from Scarface, Goodfellas, As Good As It Gets, Tombstone...it all came back to haunt me.

I was thinking about organizing a small night out for any of you who might want to hoist a few. I wish I could buy for everyone but under the current situation I can't, I'm sorry. However no one needs to buy for me! Just would like to get together with whoever wants to. Assuming a Friday or Saturday night would work best but if anyone has any thoughts on the matter please feel free to either comment or write me at jeffdeminski@comcast.net which is my personal email but pretty much everyone has it. And again, I'm not talking a listener party with prizes and games, I'm just talking about a couple of us picking a place, night and time and knocking back a few, that's it. Let me know. Weirdo, you in?
