Hey everybody!

The deep freeze is going to be over, at least for a bit, before this show airs, so it's time to think of warmer and bouncier times ahead, right? Well, don't know about you, but dancing around with the dog and changing out of snow gear is a cause to celebrate. And who better to do it with than the Beach Boys? 

Well, you get my (non-snow) drift...

Hey everybody,

Kind of a kooky list today. Mebbe it's the extreme cold kicking in, or just a lack of sun, or drinking my own coffee for days on end. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

As always, thanks for listening!
