Darn
1. Phil Hendrie has announced that he is retiring from radio in about a month. That sucks. He’s my radio hero. He used to be on KNEW at 7pm, but he was replaced with (I think) Bill O’Reilly. I could get him on XM in the van sometimes. People complained about his political monologues, but I thought they were great. Japanned in Japan made me a CD of his favorite sketches from the show, so at least I have that on my iPod to listen to. I’m going to go to his website and buy a bunch of stuff. This article is a good overview of what he does.
2. Work is taking us all out to see the DaVinci Code today. D. can’t get a babysitter so I have an extra ticket. If you want to go with me to the 3pm show send me an email. I would hate to waste a ticket. It sure got bad reviews, so I’m planning on sitting close to the aisle in case I want to bail. One of my co-workers walked out of Spiderman 2, which impressed the hell out of me. I’m a big sucker for superhero movies, so having the ability to see through them is impressive to me.
3. I have a meeting.

Phil Hendrie moves on. It’s probably for the best. The guy is a talented enough to succeed in a variety of formats. And his current approach, while unique and untouchable, was kinda getting a bit stale.
Ob-la-di Ob-la-dead. Reggae great Desmond Dekker is no longer with us. Bummer.
