PERSONAL NEWS: Retirement has been great spending more time with the family and traveling But as much as I cherish my free time I miss the action..So it's time to satisfy that urge and become the 6 Millionth person to host a podcast..Yes I'm hoping to earn one of those cute Youtube plaques..I've heard it's like winning a Whiney..So what can I do that will create some interest and also be fun for me? Well I spent 50 yrs in the business I met, worked and interviewed some of the most interesting and fascinating people..So why not go back and RE-CONNECT with them, reminisce but also talk about what's happening today. And since there's No corporate Boss, No program director or GM I can do whatever the hell I want. So I guess we can now tell those stories that were never told before or at least not truthfully. I got nothing to lose I'm not taking those stories to my grave...And the way things are going in radio it sounds like you just might have some free time to spend with old friends.. The Fat Bastard is Back...Let's RECONNECT EPISODE NUMERO UNO DROPS WEDNESDAY Please repost !

A 12-foot great white shark became tangled in a lobster trap bridle off Barnstable Harbor. Chase Hamel, Jeffrey Hamel, and Quinn Donohue were pulling their daily lobster trap when they discovered the shark tangled near the Barnstable Harbor buoy off Sandy Neck.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

The Godfather was released on this day in 1972. Al Pacino was almost fired. It was only when the Paramount Bosses saw the rushes of this very scene that they were finally convinced Pacino was the right actor. He says this scene saved his career. nitter.cf/VideoChannel134/status…

Throw up a hand if you remember when our society was stable enough you could give out 10,000 regulation bats at a major league game without worrying everyone would immediately start trying to kill each other.

The Big Dig formally concluded 17 years ago today as the most expensive highway project in the United States. Originally scheduled to be completed in 1998, it was completed in 2007 for $8.08 billion ($21.5 billion adjusted for inflation and a cost overrun of 190%). Worth it.
