Michael Watson of the group Above The Golden State was on the show today!  He performed two songs live and they were incredible.  Their self titled CD is in stores now and I think you’ll really dig it!  Michael wrote or co-wrote all of the songs.  Talented dude.  Pictured are Michael Watson of Above The Golden State, Craig & Heather, & Evening Show Host Caryn Cruise.  Visit www.abovethegoldenstate.com to find out more about this talented new group and enjoy the live tunes below…

Michael sings “Sound Of Your Name”  

A song called “Scared”

Heather & I were curious to know if we would soon be seeing Michael Phelps on the Wheaties box.  The answer is ‘no’.  Kellogg Co. announced today that the winner of eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics will be featured on upcoming boxes of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.

The boxes are expected in stores by mid-September.

Sand Springs Mayor Bob Walker issued the total thin and healthy challenge after he lost 33 pounds on it.  The program price is based on income, but you don’t have to join to get fit.  He says a walk around the block and smarter food portions are a good free start.  Mayor Walker learned that a meat serving should be the size of a deck of cards; a pancake should be the size of a compact disc, and a potato should be no larger than a computer mouse.  To join or to find free tips to get started on a healthier lifestyle you can visit www.thinandhealthy.com.

C&H CLIP OF THE DAY:  New school year for Bob’s Academy!

Got this from Fox News this morning: When it comes to saving lives, God trumps doctors for many Americans.

An eye-opening survey reveals widespread belief that divine intervention can revive dying patients. And, researchers said, doctors “need to be prepared to deal with families who are waiting for a miracle.”

More than half of randomly surveyed adults — 57 percent — said God’s intervention could save a family member even if physicians declared treatment would be futile. And nearly three-quarters said patients have a right to demand such treatment.

When asked to imagine their own relatives being gravely ill or injured, nearly 20 percent of doctors and other medical workers said God could reverse a hopeless outcome.

NUTS!!!  I was really hoping that it was real.  Seriously.  I need a Sasquatch to break life’s occassional monotony.  Anyway, a ‘Sasquatch detective’ last Friday held court with men claiming they’d found Bigfoot — but, the ‘find’ is a (surprise) rubber suit, and the ‘discoverers’ have vanished. 

C&H CLIP OF THE DAY:  Heather took her 6 year old girl, Molly, to her first day of First Grade yesterday and much to Heather’s surprise there were no tears or anxiety for both parties concerned.  Fun to hear parents stories of school’s first day…

Nothing like brand new, squeeky clean shoes to start of the new school year!

Small world.  The grass covering one of the baseball fields in Beijing was grown at Oklahoma State University.  I’s a Bermuda grass called Riviera that was developed at OSU in 1995.  Now, it’s on the world stage!

Saw an article on cnn.com about Wacky Packs!  Boy, did that bring back great childhood memories from the 70’s.  Somewhere, in a junior high school locker, sits a faded sticker: “Weakies, the Breakfast of Chumps.”  Born in 1967, the “Wacky Packages” were hand-drawn parodies done with Mad Magazine style-humor, placed on punched-out cardboard with a lick-and-stick back, and sold like baseball cards in a pack with a piece of gum.  They became actual stickers on cards in the 70’s and really took off.  I think the Topps Company brought them back in 2004 but with out the gum.  Visit www.wackypackages.org to check ‘em out!
