Hi All,

I hadn't realized it until I sat down to the computer this morning, but yesterday was the 16th Anniversary of my getting into this gig.

Where the hell did all the time go and why ain't I stinkin' rich by now like all of those full-page magazine ads said I'd be back in 1996 with their promises of full time pay for part time work?!!!

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Happy Sweet Sixteen! Where is the party?? I will wrap your gift in $100's since this occupation is so lucrative (CYA Note-I am only kidding about the 100's-oh, and the gift too.).

Congrats Mike ...

Seems like the 'part-time' has morphed to 'full-time' AND 'one half' ... and the revenue slips to 'part time'.

Oh well ... 'it is what it is!'


Cheers,

How's it feel? To be doing the same kind of work for 16 years?

At least you are stinking rich in knowing what you are doing and being a great source for us students!
Thanks for all your help to everyone.

You should have gotten into radio when the courses were cheap. Too late now.

Happy Anniversary!

Congratulations.

I'm entering my fifteenth, making it the longest working gig of my little life as well.

BTW, yesterday was the 29th of my still thriving, throbbing marriage to my wife as well.

She'd doing such a good job that I'm thinking I should probably keep her around a couple more weeks.
