Shilling for votes...
VernBeachy.com On my website I have a link to vote for Doug in the Des Moines Register's Cutest Canine contest. I can see Doug's head swelling as we speak.[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

ABC News is pathetic...

My guess is you would turn blue, Bill.
It seems like the Messenger (and a lot of old media folks) have a Homer Simpson attitude toward online endeavors "The Internet...is that thing still around?"
Bill;
I am not much of a theater-goer, but as it stands now I will go see "Up." Heck...I was planning to see Gran Torino in the theater, but now I am waiting for the DVD. That is the only movie I can think of (new or recent) that I want to see.

- About Me:
- I am a widower now living in Carroll, Iowa, and had spent 17 years in the radio news business. But I stepped out of the workforce in October 1999, one year after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I was eventually in a wheelchair but a new drug called Tysabri allowed me to walk again in January 2007.
I am the author of a memoir called A Tear-Stained Letter and am working on a second memoir dealing with my struggles with multiple sclerosis. My literary agent is now shopping around for a publisher. You can read selected chapters of my books by visiting my website. Please comment. Thanks!

Drew A. Durigan said… - BTW, you were partially responsible for one of the happiest days of my life. The first night I was on KRIT, after Doug MacKinnon fired me from KKEZ.
About an hour into the show, you come back from the city council meeting. You told me you saw Becky Helfter there. She told you to be sure and tell me that Doug was fired from KKEZ...on the same day I started at KRIT. HELL YEAH!!!!

- It's our long-lost newsguy from Super 97 KRIT!
How are you, Vern. Seems like it's been...thinking...forever since I talked to you last. Probably 1987 at the Brass Monkey!
