Having attended more Wichita River Festivals than I can count, I have so many great memories. Remember when the Block Party was on Wednesday and it was centered around Old Town and lasted into the night...multiple bands playing on multiple stages, those were the best!!! I'm pretty sure I was there to witness the "incident" that may have caused the powers that be to "re-think" the whole Block Party idea. Too many people having too much fun I guess. My personal opinion, The Riverfest needs to bring back the original Block Party format and let the adults have some fun!

Currently there is a television ad for a product designed to firm the upper arm. Oddly enough it is being marketed only to women and the ad looks like aSaturday Night Live skit. Turns out it actually has been a Saturday Night Live skit. Apparently it is not just me...others find they too are unable to take this product seriously due to their "dirty mind". I will reveal the product soon (on the air). Do you already know what product it is?

Years ago I used to occasionally watch the polo games at 13th and Rock. My dad borrowed a horse (our quarter horses were not polo ponies) and played the game a couple of times. He taught me a bit about polo and I really enjoyed watching it. I was delighted to see that we have a "new" polo grounds in the area, just South of Haysville in the 94-hundred block of South Broadway. I was delighted to attend my first game in a long while yesterday, thank you Mark Chamberlin and Sean Clem for the invitation. The thundering of the hooves, the beauty of the horses, it was really a wonderful experience. There are a few games left on Sunday afternoons at 2:00 prior to the end of the season on September 12th. It's a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Phil took vacation and my head is spinning after a fun-filled weekend . Thursday night we were at the zoo for Zydeco, then Friday night the moon over lake Afton was beautiful and a nice breeze was blowing as STYX took the stage. Many thanks to the crowd and the nice reception they gave Phil and me as we took the stage prior to the band coming on. It was a great night. Saturday was fun at Hartman Arena. Lots of great Blues, Brews and BBQ. Seems to me there's a lot to do in this town!

Linda Hogan, the 50 year-old ex-wife of Hulk, is now engaged to her 21 year-old boyfriend. They have been dating for two years. He went to high school with her children. The "live and let live" part of me says, "who am I to judge?". Afterall, he's not a victim is he? He's of legal age. She wasn't his teacher or his pastor of a true authority figure in his life. However, another part of me says, "yuck". I do assure you that, for me, it would be the same if Hulk was the 50 year-old and he was engaged to a 21 year-old woman. I also have to ask, would it be different if the 29 year age difference was between a 40 year-old and a 69 year-old? I'd love to know your thoughts on this...call tomorrow morning if you want to express an opinion. The number is 436-1045.

Okay, you hate to ever play the "Do you know who I am?" card...ever..so my neighbor hasn't. However there is considerable irony that my neighbor can't seem to get service from a company where she's the highest ranking staff members around.

I understand that Bill Gale, The Sedgwick County Election Commission is predicting a 20% turnout among registered voters in the primary, which is technically tomorrow, Tuesday 8/3...though some have voted in advance. Gale says that is a higher than normal per centage. Are you voting? why or why not? You're invited to call 436-1045 tomorrow and let us know if you will be voting.

With temperatures off the chart, and a National Night Out on the same day as a primary election, I hope the neighbors celebrating National Night Out all get along tonight! the idea is to fight the threat of crime coming from outside your neighborhood.

Rolling Stone reports that U2 have been playing a new song during rehearsals for their 360 tour. A video of fans sitting outside the gates of their upcoming show in Torino, Italy can be seen at the website U2tours.com and, in the background, the song can be heard. So far, no title for the song has been made available. U2 was also heard to be rehearsing their song "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" from the Batman Forever soundtrack. The band hasn't played that song live since 1998's Popmart tour.

Looks like those rumors that VAN HALEN was recording an album with original frontman DAVID LEE ROTH may actually be true. Billboard reports that a press release from the band's publishing company states that the band "is currently in the studio recording an album with Roth that is due for release in 2011." In addition, Billboard reports that Van Halen's manager, IRVING AZOFF, said in a conference call last week that Van Halen was expected to tour next year. The band's 2008 reunion tour grossed over 93 million bucks.

When Phil and I learned of the acts of Steven Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant who had had enough, we were amazed at his audacity and a bit impressed by it, we must admit. Steven Slater is one of the few people I've ever known who quit his job in a way that songs are written about...a way that most folks only dream about. He effectively said "I am mad as he** and I'm not going to take it any more". Taking beers from the galley of the plane on which he was working and exiting via an emergency shoot following an altercation with a passenger. What a way to say I am not a slave to my job. I've always been a really good rules follower, but there I was in the same camp as 43,000 people who rushed to Facebook to say they support Steven in his dramatic resignation. That number is still growing. He's even had a legal defense fund set-up on his behalf. Let us know what you think of his actions.

Thanks so much to everyone who weighed in on my ethical dilemna with the dog. My husband was approached by a friendly dog (on the loose) yesterday as he was working at a fire scene. The dog is clearly in severe need of veterinary care. we are going to look for the dog again today and have an appt. with our vet if we find him again. my concern is that this dog is in severe need of care, yet may belong to someone who loves him but for some reason is not taking good care of him. I will keep you posted.

A phone call I received yesterday really blew me away. A friend confessed he wronged Geddy Lee long ago. My friend fantasizes that he will confess his crime to G.L. and all will be quickly forgiven...I fear he may be wrong. Details on JAN AND PHIL tomorrow.
