Hangover Survival School
How many New Years have you rung in? How many New Years have you awakened with your head “ringing” as if you were the clapper INSIDE the bell welcoming the new year? This is Hangover Survival School, from where I can lecture with authority, because, well, I’ve a graduate degree from it; earned "THE Hard Way

Mystery…and MYSTIQUE of Christmas
Christmas has a mystery all its own with the birth of Jesus. It also has a mystique; customs, legends, stories, traditions and other practices handed down in families and in societies around the world. This ve

Crankit, Choco-Rockaholics
Chocoholic? You are, but never admit to it in public? As if you even NEEDED permission from Rage, It’s OK to crank it up about being a Choco-Rockaholic. This Friday past, December 16 was National Chocolate Covered ANYTHING Day

What (We) Want for Christmas That Would REALLY Rock…
Christmas is approaching in 1944. As a teacher of second grade music for New York public schools, Donald Yetter Gardener asked his budding musicians, “What do you want for Christmas?” Excited replies tumbled out; Gardener’s studied ears captured the lisp with which every student spoke

Twelve Days of Christmas – THE Thing About It
On the mind of Rage is The “Twelve Days of Christmas." So I did some research to find out just what IS “The Thing” about the TDoC. I heard right after Thanksgiving that the Partridge in a pear tree, Turtle Doves, French Hens, Calling Birds, Five Golden Rings, Laying Geese, Swimming Swans, Milk Maids, Waiting Ladies, Leaping Lords, Pipers and Drummers cost a lot more in 2011

A SEASON for Thanksgiving
Rage notes that "turkey day" has come and gone, but in my estimation, it's a SEASON for thanksgiving. Besides, along with the eggnog (spike mine with Southern Comfort, please) I'm thinking most of us will get the bird again for Christmas feasting

Surfing the Wake of Non-Rapture; What Is Gold Worth, Really?
Surfing the wake of the non-rapture this Memorial Day, thinking about my gratitude to my fellow citizens in the military who defend and preserve our freedom and liberty, I opened my Bible, as I really should do every day. It’s no excuse, but my lifestyle and work schedule makes it difficult to regularly read and contemplate “Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth.”

Why DO I Wanna Drive a Byway?
Ever hear someone say about our roads: “If you’re on the highways and byways, drive carefully.” It’s a colloquialism – a regional expression – that you can likely hear anywhere across our nation. I neve

Loo-e-z-WHO-zanz??
Listening to advertising on the radio air is just part of life! It totes the freight for a great American tradition; listening to our favorite rock and legendary performers. Sometimes, however, I feel it necessary to call to task some of the copywriters and announcers for those ads, because, well doggone it, I WRITE and VOICE some of those ads! It's just another part of being a radio person, but that's another story I'll tell later

Little Things in Life ROCK
Watching my two Shih Tzu puppies race around my yard is one of those "little things in life" that transports me out of daily concerns. For a few minutes, I follow them as they rocket around the yard; they don't really run, they LEAP! They take great strides with itty-bitty short legs and seem to fairly fly a mere 12 inches off the ground! It's a site that really rocks 'cuz they have SOOO much energy!
Now, I'm sure everyone has their favorite breed/species of dog/pet

Aviation ROCKS: Mystique and Romance
It was a happy accident Saturday, March 19, my discovery of the Experimental Aviation Association Chapter 343 (EAA343) annual Fly - In on the Downtown Shreveport Airport. Quite unlike the sprawling, security locked-down Regional Airport, this historic patch of aviation history is, on a day like Saturday, very accessible; you can walk right through the front door and onto the taxiway and experience the mystique and romance of aviation up close and personal
