Dude WANTS to Act Like a Lady!
Being a woman is no easy task, but apparently we make it look good to those on the other team. Reddit asked their male readers to name the 'girly things' they'd do if it was socially acceptable.
The Sugar Challenge
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, we are approaching the break date; January 17th. More specifically, it's that date most resolutions are either broken or become a habit that sticks. My willpower is wildly flexible, so I've never been one to stick with resolutions, but I AM giving the Mayo Clinic Sugar Challenge a go and so far it's been a good experience...
My Favorite ‘After Christmas’ Song
Over the past few weeks, while I've been cranking out the Christmas tunes, you may have heard me mention (a dozen or so times) that my favorite Christmas song is "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." To prove that point, check out the home made gift my daughter gave me...
Hamilton the Red-Nosed Reindeer
If you love all things Hamilton, you just might want to give this a listen. James Rabe charged the Early Morning Show Singers with mashing up the fun of everyone's favorite reindeer with the essence of the Broadway smash Hamilton.
Check it out and then forward it along to all your Hamilton-loving friends...

Grinch Dust
This past weekend the Y-105 FM crew and a group of VIKs (Very Important Kids) spent some Real Time with the Real Santa at ABC and Toy Zone in the Miracle Mile shopping center.

James and Tracy Christmas Station Field Trip
It's the most wonderful time of the year!! Music wise, that is. I've been looking forward to playing Christmas music ever since I started back in April. Now, if you're not a fan of Christmas music, aren't you glad I didn't get my way and start playing Christmas music back in April...
You Can’t Un-See This!
Back in the days of yore, if you wanted to watch a Christmas special on TV, like Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, The Walton Family Christmas: The Homecoming or The Star Wars Holiday Special; you had to be at home, in front of the TV, when it was showtime...
It’s a Wrap!
No one would dispute that things can be a little hectic at this time of year. (And if they do, they are most likely itching for a fight, so don't take that bait!)
When it comes to the hustle and the bustle, there are some tasks I enjoy more than others...
Rube Goldberg What Now?!
Have you ever set up the Mousetrap game and actually PLAYED the game? Of course not, no one does THAT!! Everyone took the time to set up the game just to play with the contraption you construct. (At least that's what MY research shows!) That contraption is called a Rube Goldberg machine...
