My thanks to Bob Alexander, CEO of Pratt Medical and Chairman of the March of Dimes, March For Babies, for coming on the show this morning. We had some fun playing More's Mystery and learned some about the March of Dimes. Don't forget, the March For Babies is set for Saturday, April 18 at Old Mill Park, a great event for the entire family.
We'll talk about this more as it gets closer, but keep in mind that the following week, the Fredericksburg Regional SPCA will hold their 7th Annual Chocolate Extravaganza.

Tickets are $25.00 each.
On Saturday, April 25, from 11:00 A.M to 3:00 P.M., it's the Sweet Sensations Taste Test Chocolate Buffet, featuring desserts from over 20 local restaurants. Admission is only $2.00. Children under 5 are free, and the desserts range from $1 to $3. Rae and I will DEFINITELY be there for this one.
Then finally on Sunday, April 26, from 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., it's the Chocolate Brunch at Jake & Mike's.

Speaking of animals, Michael Vick is determined to get back on the football field. He told a bankruptcy judge on Friday of last week that he can repay his creditors because he can play football for another 10 to 12 yearsThat's only another season or two in dog years.
I'm always happy to hear good things about a fellow radio guy. Congratulations to morning German radio show host Dominik Schollmayer, who set a world record by staying on the air (without sleep) for 169 hours. He was monitored by doctors the entire time. They said it didn't take too long for sleep deprivation to move in and he started getting a little loopy. But he did it. He was on the air for 169 hours straight without saying anything entertaining, which breaks the record previously held by National Public Radio.
Finally, an influential, government-appointed medical panel released a statement yesterday morning that ALL American teenagers should be tested for depression. Would that be for having it...or causing it?
