A guilty pleasure.  Have you seen this show?   It is an absurd competition with strange athletic challenges, lots of water and foam, and things that punch and you bounce off of huge balls and land in mud, and it really is very funny.

Looking forward to it … Sunny102 has been a sponsor since it began and this year may be the best yet.  It starts this evening on Clinton Square at 5PM with the Sunny 102 Happy Hour ! Then we get to hear Ronnie Leigh and Nancy Kelly with the Syracuse Symphony at 8PM … WOW! So come and enjoy the music … it’s all FREE!

Rick Gary is wearing short sleeves now … he says he has the right to bare arms!

I missed you while I was on vacation.  I drove 700 miles (took almost 12 hours each way) to visit my son in grad school at Indiana University.  I did like Bloomington (a nice college town with great little restaurants and we even ate at an Afghani place, delicious chicken and flavorful rice and vegetable dishes).  Nearby Nashville, Indiana is a neat little artists town, great shops of crafts and is the home of Bluegrass Music.  Yet the rest of Indiana seemed flat and dull!  Gas is around 25 cents less a gallon in Ohio and Indiana than here, but the price of food/grocery items seems much higher there. I think the competition we have between all our Central New York grocery stores is amazing and helps keep our prices down (at least compared to the midwest).  I know this sounds a little corny, but I really missed being on the radio. I love being on the air. Yes, it is good to get away for few day but it is great to be back!

(PS: Thanks Steve, for doing a great job filling in while I was away.)

Good morning, it’s Steve Kelley, takin’ a second in the studio, filling for Big Mike this week, to write to you.  Good to hang out with you this morning for Big Mike, along with Brit, Keith, and Mike Ellis. 

Great to see so many of you at Corona Parrotfest this past Saturday.  What a great time, and so many enthusastic Sunny 102 listeners.  Thanks for all the fun trying to win those crazy parrot hats!  And how ’bout that conga line and the great music from Northern Harbour!?  Keep listening for our next event, and thanks for listening to me fill in for Big Mike this week. 

If you were paying attention, you know we announced the Sunny Summer Song this morning… which today is Summer Nights from Olivia Newton John and John Travolta… listen for it this afternoon between noon and three to get a chance to win that 27 grand from the NY Lottery. Okay, it’s now 8:37 a.m., my song from Spiral Staircase is just about to end, gotta talk on the radio, see ya. 

Mr Sun and I waved to thousands at the big Manlius Parade this morning.  We threw whatver we had to the crowd: candy, t-shirts, movie posters, even coloring books!  Had the pleasure of lining up with the Syracuse Brigadiers Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps… GREAT people!

Literally a blast, with great fireworks at the end.  I was supposed to start my vacation on Saturday, but postponed it since I don’t want to miss this!  Music, food, fireworks, fun for the whole family (kids FREE!) and great weather predicted.  Rick, Ted, Ed, Mr Sun and I will emcee ay Chevy Court, Fairgrounds.  See you Saturday!
