A Magnificent Waste Of Time

I recently discovered a marvelous waste of time.  It's a website called "Flickchart", and it's right up my alley. I've always wished I could compile an accurate list of things like my favorite movies or albums or songs, and Flickchart is the closest I've come to doing that so far, at least for movies. Here's…MORE

One The Road Again

I recently went on a trip to Lewiston and Clarkston. I am a recent graduate from Boise State University, so going to school and working all of the time kept me busy. It's the first trip I have been on in over 4 years because of school. My goal for the entire trip was to see at…MORE

I’m Walkin’…..Yes Indeed I’m Walkin’

My wife, Tamara and I have been getting in shape this summer by walking five or more miles a day on the greenbelt. It is amazing how many Boiseans take advantage of this terrific resource. We see hundreds of walkers, joggers and bicyclists every day, no matter what the weather, or time of day. The…MORE

Remembering Velma

A few years ago at church we held a fundraising rummage sale and silent auction to help underprivileged children.  We were hoping to make a few thousand dollars and had some good items in the auction.  Then Velma Morrison showed up.

If their credit checks out and they have the money for purchase, let them live there. I personally think its wrong to beat someone up just because of their gender preference. If they are a…MORE

Time to get back in shape

Ever since I graduated I haven't been working out as much. I decided that it was time to get back in shape but slowly. So, after work last week I climbed Table Rock. Now I know I am out of shape, but this really made that clear to me. The nice thing was it wasn't…MORE

Laughter Is The Best Medicine

If we ever build another major hospital in Boise, I have a suggestion for its name.  I think it should be called "Saint Hilarius". Yes, there really was a Saint Hilarius.  In fact, during the latter part of his life, he was Pope Hilarius. Saint Hilarius probably lived his entire life in Italy in the…MORE

Man’s Best Friend

In the Schneider family we have long had a tradition we call, "passing the torch".  We vary between owning one and two dogs,  buying a new pup when the present dog starts slowing down and showing signs of age. The new dogs learns the rules of the house from the old dog. This has worked…MORE

Get Busy Living

I take a lot of guff at the station due to my age. Radio has always been a haven for youngsters who like to kid the old timers like myself. With the advent of corporate radio, the opportunities for younger workers has lessened leading to an aging staff. It used to bother me that I…MORE
