I'M GETTING OLD

Still in Florida. We have had a lot of fun and I have had some great meetings about the fall. It is always nice when the quality of my "dog and pony" show gets rewarded with a better time spot or is put on for free. I am sure I am biased but I have always thought our show is a lot better than some of the people that get paid to be on the same stations I have to pay. Some of the guys that run some of these stations are the biggest liars I have ever met. They don't care ANYTHING about the quality of the stuff they put on the air. The meetings this week have been with people that want to run the best shows they can because they know more people will listen to "good" radio which allows them to charge more to the other advertisers to be on those shows. I know that sounds simple but some cities don't see it that way, quality has nothing to do with what they put on the air.

My family and I went up to a clients/friend of mines vacation home to go skiing/tubing ect. The guy wants me to buy his 65'boat. I am trying to figure out how that would be a good idea but given my history with boats I am drawing a blank. We did have a great time, his place is on the intracoastal and the kids loved being dragged behind his smaller boat. I decided to try and water ski. Yes, water ski. I used to go skiing all the time when I was in high school. Yes, I am aware I am no longer in high school.The last time I went skiing I was 17 years old and 255 lbs. Yesterday I was 38 years old and more than 255lbs. I felt great up until the point I told them to gun the boat. I had trouble getting up and finally settled for tubing. Today, I feel like someone ran over me in a truck and then threw my sore body off a building. I told my wife that that is the type of decision that will end up putting me in a wheel chair.I am going to have to remember I am getting older and there are going to be things I shouldn't try.

On a brighter note. We are 5-0 this week and 18-5 in the last month in baseball. These are free selections to my hoops clients and have allowed most of them the chance to win enough money to pay for the football service this fall. This is just another example of why signing up with me is truly the best way to make money betting on sports. I will help you look at sports gambling in a totally different way. Not to mention my clients sports betting accounts are beating EVERY other investment account they have.

Have a great week.
