Cheerios & blueberries … a simple life

My son Roy is busy dissecting his blueberries from his Cheerios breakfast … that means he’s almost finished.  ACK, hold on.

OK, just rescued a few soggy Cheerios from his hair, delicately placed there by him.  The boy is a genius.

Big weekend in store, hope you can join me:

• I’m broadcasting from Tinley Park this afternoon 3-7pm, getting ready for the Brad Paisley / Dierks Bentley / Jimmy Wayne show … stop by for your chance at cool prizes!
• Tonight, all the line dancing you can handle @ Sundance Saloon in Waukegan (300 Lakehurst Rd, just east of the Tri-State) with the FNPP between 9-11pm
• Tomorrow night, win Toby Keith tickets at our Coors Light Beer N Bags finals in Chicago … between 8-11pm, I’ll be at Edison Park Inn (just off Northwest Highway on Olmstead, opposite the Metra station)

Make it a great day, we’ll chat after 3pm.

Randy Houser, Brad Paisley, Miller Lite & Smart Kids

Glad to be back from vacation, we had a blast in Wisconsin on Lake Beulah with the extended family.  If you missed any of our hijinks, follow me on Twitter @radiodrew HERE, and you’ll be connected 24/7.

Tomorrow’s a big day – make plans to join me at Arlington Park between 3-7pm, as I broadcast with Randy Houser.  He’s the guy with my favorite song on the radio right now, Boots On, plus the video that is guaranteed to make you smile.  Really.  Watch the video at my webpage HERE.

Then tomorrow night, I have more Brad Paisley Miller Lite Party Deck passes up for grabs with the FNPP @ CC’s Grove in Willow Springs.  We’ll do a pair at 10pm, and again at 11pm.  Details HERE.

Next week, it’s your last two chances to get qualified for the trip to the CMAs in November!  Coors Light Beer N Bags in Island Lake on Tuesday, then Woodstock on Wednesday.  Register between 8-9pm, then 16 teams are randomly-selected to begin play at 9pm.  I want to see you there (directions & more details HERE)!

Lastly, my son is the smartest boy ever.  Yes, I’m biased, but I think you’ll agree.  Is your child even smarter?

Let’s talk about it, today at 3:45pm, on US 99.5 fm and streaming online at US99.com!

I’m the redneck of our block

Did you miss Brad Paisley on the show yesterday?  He gave me the OK to be the redneck of my block, in addition to bragging about his mad high school winter sporting skills.  Click the Podcast page above, and you can listen to the entire conversation.

Something I’ve been thinking of for months – what can we do different to save money in today’s economy.  How are you trimming costs?  Jill & I are trying something new for our home phone, and it could save us up to $300 a year.

It arrived on Wednesday, and we love it so far.  If we’re still digging it in 2 weeks, I’ll tell you what it is, and we’ll officially drop our local & long distance home phone costs.

What’s the best way to save cash in today’s world?  Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.

It feels like a lifetime ago

Lots of new TV shows back on the tube this month, with fresh episodes to boot.  Nip/Tuck debuted last night on F/X, although we’ll catch it tonight on TiVo.  90210 had a fresh episode on the CW, and most other shows are back in the swing.

The biggest anticipation at our house?  The return of Lost on ABC on Wednesday, January 21st at 7pm … my wife Jill writes the Lost Blog each year, and plans another round for 2009.  You can catch up on her *very detailed* musings here.

What TV show are YOU most anticipating the return of?  Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.

Two other show notes:

• I just found out that Brad Paisley will check in tomorrow afternoon after 6pm.  We last spoke to him at Halloween, so hopefully he’ll have some New Year insight for us.
• I’ve joined the Twitter world – have you?   It’s just another way to keep in touch, in bite-size pieces.  TWEET away with me at the link above (on the index bar)!
