Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I saw the new Terminator flick, and its was pretty good. Christian Bale is the new John Connor, and even Arnold made an appearance, in a rather unique way I may add. After 25 years, we finally get a real view of the post apololyptic world of the Terminators, some even giant size. I give it 3 1/2 popcorns out of 4.
So John & Kate, (of John & Kate Plus 8 fame) are on the rocks, with rumors of both Jon & Kate Gossling engaging in extra marital affairs. What of their future and the future of their show on TLC? Well, Jon could always get together with Nadia Suleman, aka The Octomom. Oh the stories they could tell. And Kate could always get together in a new reality show with Muhammad Ali. "Kate & Ali" (lol).

Too Much Voting
What a week for votes! Between Dancing With The Stars, Tuesday's primary election and American Idol, I'm worn out. I think I wrote in Adam Lambert for Mayor of Scranton and texted Chris Doherty for American Idol. Quite an Idol finale last night. I'm ashamed to say I mised the final hour. Hey, a guy needs to sleep sometime. Congrats to Kris Allen, but don't feel too badly for Adam Lambert. I'm sure he will find some work somewhere.
Big concert announcement from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs! They announced their summer concert lineup yesterday, and its pretty impressive. LeeAnn Rimes on July 5th, Peter Frampton on July 19th, Hall & Oates July 30th, and for oldies fans, Bowzer (from Sha Na Na) and his Original Doo Wop Show on August 9th. Two more acts will be scheduled at a later date. Mohegan will have an outdoor venue for the concerts set up near the racetrack capable of seating 4600 people. Its the first concert at the Downs since Bon Jovi more than 20 years ago.

Why I love what I do
Monday night was just another example of why I love my profession. On Monday, I met and spoke with former Washington Redskin Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Theismann, who was speaking at the Volunteers of America dinner at Genetti's in Wilkes Barre. As a lifelong Skins fan, it was a thrill to meet the quarterback who led my team to its first Super Bowl title. We talked about volunteerism, and football of course.
Since I've been at Magic, I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people, including my favorite band, Chicago backstage at the Toyota Pavilion. Covering the prsidential election, I met former CBS anchorman Dan Rather, MSNBC's Chris Matthews, and shook hands with Bill & Hillary Clinton, as well as President Barack Obama. Last year at the Legends Game at PNC Field, I met and spoke with former Yankees Bucky Dent, new baseball Hall of Famer Goose Gossage, Roy White, Mickey Rivers, Chris Chambliss, and Red Sox greats Jim Rice, Fred Lynn and Bill Lee. Recently, I went backstage to meet Barry Manilow, after his show at the Wachovia Arena. Many famous guests have come to the radio station, including WWE wrestling champs Randy Orton & Sheldon Benjamin, and Jewel from Dancing With The Stars, and former American Idol contender Carmen Rasmussen. Thats why I love what I do.

Can't Wait for Star Trek
This is one of my favorite times of the year, the summer movie blockbuster season. I saw Wolverine last week, and will be checking out the new Star Trek movie tomorrow. The reviews are excellent, and the special effects should be mindblowing. Kirk, Spock and company, the early years. And in 2 weeks, its Terminator Salvation.
This weekend on Sunday Magazine, I will be featuring a podcast from the Pennsylvania Medical Society about everything you need to know about the swine flu outbreak. Also, in honor of Mother's Day I'll be speaking with Stacy DeBroff of momcentral.com, who has plenty of tips for busy moms, and with Phyllis Brostoff from the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers on caring for older mothers. And I'll be speaking with representatives from the Wilkes Barre Family YMCA about their "Night At The Races" fundraiser coming up on May 14th at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Sunday Magazine, Sunday morning at 6:30am on Magic 93.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in Northeast Pa and everywhere else. Its a bittersweet time, as I lost my mom 16 years ago, but she's never far from my heart. Seeing the lilacs in bloom always reminds me of my mom, because I always picked them for her, because she loved the fragrance.
