Severe weather season is here. Most people don’t know this about me, but I happen to be a weather nerd and a storm chaser. When the skies turn dark, I sometimes hop in my car and follow the clouds. I am fascinated by tornadoes and how they form and by the terrible destruction they leave […]

This past weekend’s Saturday morning edition of American Top 40 is a show I can remember hearing when it was on the first time, back in the spring of 1974. I was a 14-year-old music and radio geek, and I used to sit by the radio with a pencil and paper and write down the […]

Good news from the Hansen household! There’s going to be a new addition. Roman Frederick will be Everett’s little brother and his ETA is August 28th. Now that I’m of ‘Advanced Maternal Age’ things are a little more achey and I’m a little slower, but I’m so happy and feel very blessed to be able […]

Last October I planted some tulip bulbs by my front steps and by my side steps. I was excited all winter for them to come up this spring. They were supposed to be all different colors so I could not wait to see what they would look like. Just a couple of weeks ago the tulips […]

It’s an acoustic show–an article in […]

Last Friday was like any other sort of day. Got done with work, headed home to see my son and then we went downstairs to play. That’s where our sweet kitty, Piper, lives. She’s finally given up on trying to pretend that she likes the dogs and chooses to claim the entire basement as her […]

If you are reading this blog post, that means I am still on the Magic payroll, although I haven’t been on the air much lately. I have another job that requires me to travel from time to time, and that’s where I’ve been. Killing time in a hotel one night, I came up with a […]
Coming up on May 16th, my turtle, Joe, makes his acting debut at Olbrich Gardens. It’s a special series for tots to learn about animals ‘around the pond.’ The class is already filled (it’s small, so it filled up quickly). A frog, a worm and a turtle (Joe) will be there for the kiddies to see […]

My dog Truman is a herding breed, so he needs lots of exercise and “projects” to keep his mind and body stimulated. I bought an agility course to set up in my backyard. But until it gets warmer and the ground dries up, I’ve been looking for something fun we can do indoors together. I […]
