Here's my modest proposal: let's move Halloween to the first Saturday in November. It'll be a party night for everybody with no early alarm the next day, no sugar hangover for the kids in school, no rush to get home from work to escort the trick or treaters. Plus: it's the night we switch to standard time---so one more hour for partying. Or recovery. We moved Memorial Day to Monday...why not move Halloween to a night that makes sense?

Along with being a dedicated Oregonian and dog guy, and the happily married daddy of two young adults and one daughter in law, I'm a third generation radio person--my dad started up the Grinnell College radio station in Iowa and his dad played a hot piano in the Chicago radio drama days in the 30's. I was raised in suburban Chicago and Denver, but I chose Portland as my forever home right out of the University of Colorado (never mind the youthful detours to Seattle, San Francisco, and Houston). I still have a pebble I collected from the beach when I first laid eyes on the north Oregon coast.
As of December 1, 2011, K103 has been my radio home for 26 years. I cherish each day working with my friend Bruce Murdock, just as I relished the years I spent in collaboration with Craig Walker. I miss Dana Jeffries, but I really enjoy working with Janine Wolf! She's totally on top of traffic, and dishes up the funniest zingers!

Secrets to getting your Stump the Jock question used!
-
- It has to be interesting. The sort of thing you'd tell somebody at work, "Guess what I heard on the radio!"
- It needs to be factual. I always appreciate it when questions are sent with a link to the source.
- It should be short and to the point.
- Please don't forward lists of trivia that are bouncing around the Internet or on e-mail...we've seen them all.
- Most of all...they need to be fun!
