It’s early morning, the rain is pounding on my windows (no watering the plants in the morning!) and I am doing one of my favorite things: blogging with all of you.
I am in a great mood, so this blog is going to reflect great news, a great weather report, and a great song (in my opinion at least). I am going to start with something my mom. Judi, emailed me earlier today. She knows I love to dance, and even my little guy is taking Salsa classes right now (he also loves to dance) and watching this makes me realize he and I are joined by so many others around the world in our love of moving to music.
WARNING: If you watch this, you are going to smile.

Feel Good Yet? She does…
Ok, here’s more.

Feel Good Song of the Day: Dionne Warwick, “Do You Know The Way to San Jose?”
I heard someone whistling this walking down the road yesterday and it made me happy, and I couldn’t wait to get on Youtube to listen to it again. So I thought, “Well, if it made me happy, and someone found it worth whistling, my bloggers will go CRAZY over it.” That might be an exaggeration, but if it makes a couple of you smile, I have done my job.

Maybe a big savings account will make you feel good?
Easy Way to Save $12,000
The economy is tough, fuel and grocery prices are up… savings? Who has any extra money to think about that? But what if there was an easy way… from http://www.yahoo.com/
——————————————————–
A sum like $12,000 doesn’t usually make the news, but one Boston Globe reporter has managed to trick herself into saving that amount by adopting a creative way to save. With two daughters in college and a mortgage to pay, Marie Franklin and her husband didn’t have any extra money to put into savings. While perusing online, she came across a saving trick that suggested saving every five she acquired and depositing them into a separate savings account.
Once she’s collected ten fives in her wallet, Marie deposits the $50 into her designated savings account, and once that account has $2,000 she purchases a CD to earn higher interest. After three years of saving all of her fives, she has accumulated $12,000 in savings. Marie acknowledges that this method of saving requires discipline, but her unconventional habit has obviously worked for her.

Indeed it is “hump day.” The song I heard on the radio this morning that is now stuck in my head is the Katrina and the Waves classic Walking on Sunshine. Looking forward to the weekend. Have sweet tickets for the Phillies on Saturday. Speaking of which, how about them Fightin’ Phils? Take that New York!!!! Classic game and one of those season defining games. Thanks for today’s blog KL. Lots of good stuff to start the day.

I can’t get into this, although I tried.
I’ve got sooooooo much stuff to do this week, I don’t even wanna think about it.
Saturday morning, I’m fishing in a tournament,I’ll smile then.
JT 07.23.08 at 9:04 am
Which reminds me…..
JT 07.23.08 at 9:15 am
Last Sat. nite, I was fishing on a lake (I broke the “lost hat jinx” btw, which SOMEBODY (Ah-AHEM) hung on me)I watched the moon rise on the horizon, (I didn’t have my camera-my buddy thinks that’s a jinx, and I can only fight one jinx at a time), when a kayak went by us.
My buddy sais, “I tried kayaking, but I didn’t like it; it just wasn’t for me”.
Then, I said, “Not ALL that long ago, people (Eskimos) used to MAKE their OWN kayaks, MAKE their own spears, then row out on the ocean in the wintertime and stab a whale (A WHALE !)and drag it home for supper.”
“Now THAT takes brass (fill in the blank)”
“In this day and age , we award millions and millions of dollars to guys for their ability to throw a football or hit a baseball, and all THAT guy got was a whale dinner.”
A WHALE !
JT 07.23.08 at 9:16 am
Ok, I’m smiling now.
A WHALE !
Can you IMAGINE doing that ?
JT 07.23.08 at 9:17 am

The song of the day is Harry Nilson’s “You’re Breaking my Heart”
(That one’s for you, Shaikens Chickie)
JT 07.24.08 at 6:39 am
For the next time somebody breaks your heart, Smashler.
(Whew, I’m glad I cleared THAT up !)

Here’s ANOTHER money saving tip…..
Every time you get a ten thousand dollar bill, put in in the bank.
If you do that twice, you’ll have ummmm….uhhhhh….
A LOT of money !

I have to go Carpe Diem, before the Diem Carpe’s me.
JT 07.24.08 at 6:50 am
Have a good day, everyone, tomorrow is Friday.
Incidentally, a carp is smaller than a whale, but it CAN grow to be bigger than a mackeral, if your keeping score at home.
You see ? It doesn’t ALWAYS have to be singing and dancing around here.
We can LEARN, too.
psuhammer 07.24.08 at 8:42 am
Just wanted to say Good Morning to everyone at KLTV. Friday, Friday Friday!!!! Almost here

deweydevil 07.24.08 at 12:22 pm
I heard a lil something something from michael klien that Kl will be staying up late with us starting next month.
11 pm news with KL?
Will you promise to drop a seinfield quote in each newscat por favor?
shaikens 07.24.08 at 1:29 pm
If KL dropped a seinfeld line in every newscast, I feel like she would be the most watched woman in the world. Dewey, I like the way you think.
deweydevil 07.24.08 at 3:22 pm
I’m Kerri Lee thanks for joining me this evening… Can you spare a square?
bobm 07.24.08 at 3:31 pm

It does ?
Then I must have about 7,454 reams of paper somewhere.
I’m afraid to look under my bed.
