Well.. where do I start?

#1) SIRIUS didn't think we had a show on today.. even though the schedule was laid out clearly..

#2) Wayne the Engineer decided to take a walkabout 15 minutes before airtime.. He won't be back. A net sum gain..

#3.) Despite brave efforts by Antilust.. er Antitrust.. to stand in, there was no way to link guests/callers to Sirius and me in the remote location..

We'll reboot it tomorrow with a new engineer..

My apologies.. Had Angel Penna, Eng, Haskin, Black and possibly Tagg and/or Violette on the docket..

No.. He walked out.. 15 minutes before the show was scheduled to start.. It was only one of the day's problems, but it added to the general travail.

On an amusing sidenote, Capital OTB will be streaming video of the show live on their website Friday and next Wednesday-Friday...

Those used to the wit, aplomb and overall sophistication of BTW and his 'Playing to Win' show, will be sorely disappointed by watching me shuffle papers, adjust settings and stammer for 3 hours.. And sadly, I have no goatee..

With all that, I'm surprised it's 9pm and you sound so rational about it

The Amusing Sidenote will be fun, and will probably more than make up for today's cluster-f.

Can you glue on a goatee, perhaps?

And excuse me, DT gentlemen, but why can't we have some good-looking GUYS sitting next to Steve?

Ya know, women are into horse racing, too!

Bizarre!! But I have found the more time you spend on this planet, the more bizarre things get...
Maybe I should dust off my Broadcast Communications Degree??? I know that valuable piece of paper is here somewhere....

This just in.......

Engineer Wayne found on the floor in the bathroom with the juke box stuck on
"Dont Stop Believing"....a single wound from an onion ring is thought to be the cause of death.....no other injuries to anyone at the scene unless you count the hearing loss over the last month for the poor quality sound he was responsible for......
