Thanks to you, we raised over $42,000 for the Ronald McDonald House during our Radiothon. I was moved deeply by the outpouring of generosity.  Times being what they are, KOSI 101.1 listeners still were able to find extra money somewhere to help families find comfort at Ronald McDonald House.  Hundreds of kids who are facing serious illnesses can stay in a cozy home with their moms and dads during what could otherwise be a terrifying experience.  As we bring to mind all we are thankful for this time of year, I’m especially grateful to know I’m able to spend some time everyday on the radio with kind people like you!  My sincere thank you.

As I was doing some work on the computer today I was recalling going to Epcot Center in the 80’s, right when it opened. Amazing!  I especially liked the tour of the home of tomorrow where the voiceover man told us, “Some day every home in the United States will have its own personal computer.” Totally sci-fi. “What for?” I wondered.

Well, now can you imagine your life  without a computer? Email, online meetings, information, dating, socializing, continuous light rock to help you through the workday at kosi101.com, you can’t live without ‘em!  They’re useful at home, at work, for school. They give us something to blame when something goes wrong.  “My computer crashed” is a better excuse for a missing assignment than “my dog ate it.” And isn’t it better to say something went wrong with the computer rather than “he doesn’t work here anymore?”

Oh, sure, it can be a real time-waster.  But that’s awesome too sometimes.  All hail the geeks with too much time on their hands!
