What A Week

This has been a wild week. I filled in for the great Steve and Johnnie all week on their overnight show on WGN. If you missed the shows, you missed some hilarious radio, if I do say so myself. I love working with their crew and interacting with their audience. The only drawback is the odd schedule. It usually takes me a couple days to get my sleep regulated, which seems to be becoming much more important than it used to be. It doesn't seem all that long ago that I would stay up carousing all night , get an hour or two of shut eye and be good to go. Now I schedule my sleep like its carved in stone. I justify it by saying I need my sleep to be on the ball and entertaining for the show, but the truth is, I love to sleep.

Halloween was a success at the house. We had almost a hundred beggars, I mean trick or treaters hit us up for sugary treats. Some of the costumes were cute,but some of the punk teens slacked off a bit. I guess that's to be expected. I held firm to my rule of making the kids say "trick or treat'. I think it's only right. One ne'er do well thought he would be smart and only said "trick" he wasn't laughing so hard when I offered him half a candy. Mess with me at your peril junior.

I was bested in the hearts and minds of the neighbors as far as the decorating bood feud goes. "Daughter" and her friends informed me that the guy around the corner had once again created a wildly horrific entry way and that he was answering the door in a mad scientist costume. Damn him! I've already begun preparations for next year. I'm planning on going on a killing spree to stock the yard with real corpses, reanimating the dead into brain eating zombies and getting myself a scary costume. Maybe something along the lines of a flesh eating virus or a puppy. Who knows?

Tomorrow night, I'll be back doing the big WGN Overnight program. If you tune in, you'll be treated to an extra hour of broadcast excellence. That's right. Sunday morning we "Fall back". Some will take advantage of the time change to get an extra hour of sleep, but they're weak. You can use the extra hour to enjoy some radio fun. Gotta go. Have a great weekend. Later...Brian
