Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Friday!

You may have heard by now… I had kind of a big weekend. I got married! Her name is Donna and she is a very wonderful lady.

Let me back up a bit. When I lost Gail back in 2018 - I was devastated. We were married for 60 years - together for 65. Losing her was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.

In my attempt to “get out more” (everyone kept telling me to do that) I ended up having lunch with a lady that Gail and I had known from “back in the day” as the kids say. That lady was Donna.

She was kind, funny and understanding. And - it occurred to me as time went on - she was pretty darn good looking too! Lunches turned to dinners and, well… you can figure out the rest.

We got married this past Saturday at my house with our combined kids (Six daughters for me, one for her), their husbands, our grandkids (10 in all!) and some of our closest friends cheering us on.

It was a fabulous day - great weather, great food, great music, great people! The only thing that could have made it better would have been a Wedding Night that didn’t require staying 6 away from each other!

To be honest, this is not something I ever imagined happening at this stage of my life (You know, being 49 and all) but I’m so grateful that it did!

See you back here tomorrow!

Happy Memorial Day! Although many things have changed over the last few months, one thing remains the same: Our gratitude to the brave men and women who made the Ultimate Sacrifice so that we can continue to live in Freedom.

Back when I had my radio show, I recited the following poem every Memorial Day Weekend in honor and in memory of those who gave Everything they had… so that we can have Everything.

The poem, “The Inscription”, was sent to us by a listener, Paul Reside.  

Paul’s Grandmother, Annabelle Gunnett Jones wrote it around 1932.  The poem had been printed in the Perry County, Ohio newspaper for a number of years on “Decoration Day”, or as we know it today - “Memorial Day”. Annabelle was inspired to write the poem by her husband, a WWI Veteran, as a tribute to the Unknown Soldier.

As you enjoy this very unique Memorial Day, I encourage you to take a moment to share “The Inscription” with your family and friends... especially your children. (While properly Socially-Distancing of course). Let it serve as a reminder to us all of the gratitude owed the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who have laid down their lives so that we may live ours.  

Just click on the link below to hear me reading the words written more than 80 years ago - that still resonate today.

On this day in 1912 the Philadelphia A’s beat the Tigers 24-2 who used amatuers in protest of Ty Cobb’s suspension. And on this day in 1968 Al Kaline hit is 307th Home Run surpassing Hank Greenberg.

Speaking of Tigers, Fred Willard has died at the age of 86. I say that because the last time I had the pleasure of seeing Fred - it involved the Tigers. He was in town shooting a movie and after interviewing him on the air, he asked us if we wanted to go to the Tiger game with him that evening. Needless to say… that night Big Al, Jackie, my wife Gail and I went and had a great time. I even ate a REAL Hot Dog!!

Fred was a brilliant comedic actor - and if you don’t believe me - just go back and watch his appearances as Martin Mull’s sidekick on “Fernwood Tonight”, and in two of my all time favorite Christopher Guest movies, “Waiting for Guffman” and “Best in Show”.

Fred was also a great guy. When he heard we were doing one of my “Comedy Nights Out” for Charity - he called and asked if he could be added to the line-up. Of course we did - and he was, as always, beyond funny.
