Time

...
What song was that? "time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin, ...."

Pretty sure it was Steve Miller Band, not to be confused with the Glen Miller Band. (look 'em up if you're confused.)

Kids... (and understand I write this blog in part to help my kids, share one day with their kids, what grandpa was up to) You'll hear it all your life, you won't believe it, but eventually it'll sink in. The older you get, the faster time goes by. I don't think Einstein accounted for this in his theory of relativity. Bottom line: Find your happiness, enjoy each day.

We're late into February and after a brief warm up, the chill has returned along with a couple of chances for snow. One to our south today, ANOTHER Friday. A little early with conflicting models but serious enough to watch carefully. ANOTHER chance for snow Monday. This is the most "snow threats" I've seen in 20 years here in the Memphis and Mid-South area.

It's taken almost 2 weeks, but I'm slowly feeling better. A lingering cold/sinus thing keeps my head pounding, but at least I can work, only missed on day last week to rest my voice.

I can tell when I'm about to tip the scales of health by how I sound. The last thing I want to do is get full blown laringitis. Which has happened before when I "push it" too hard while trying to recover from the head cold. This seems to happen to me about once a year. I shake a lot of hands through out the day, run into alot of folks, so maybe I am more 'exposed' to bad germs than most.

My buddy Tim Simpson, with whom I've worked with for almost 20 years here at the station, do the "Tiger Woods" "fist bump" upon greeting. Does it help? Sure hope so. We don't want to take any un-necessary chances.

In the news this morning, we're talking about foods with "choking-hazards." Should there be labels on things like hot-dogs and pop corn? To me, that's like saying, there should be warning labels on fireplaces. They could be hot. You know, as parents, you just need to be careful and watch your kids closely. I'm sure some big lawsuit will force product makers to put those warning labels up, I think it's ridiculous.
