Notes from a Crazy Man

Ok, ok here I go into the land of blogging.....Hello my name is Peter Girouard and I have the pleasure of working at East Kentucky Broadcasting and I co-host a morning drive time show with the one and only Randy Jones......Randy is a great guy...just ask him :)

About a month ago I pestered our webguru Dave Stanford to create for me a blog so I could dispense what I believe to be information that I assume everyone would want...namely MY opinions on things as I see them.... After driving Dave nuts for a few weeks he created my blog then as I am want to do, I did nothing with it for another few weeks......

But I finally got brave enought to stick my toe out here today.......The reason this is called "The View from 30,000 Feet" is that the best way to look at anything is to step back and look at it from all sides before making a decision or rendering an opinion. I do this in my business life and so far it has worked well.

Now that we have gotten the intros out of the way. Let me give my pat on the back and my kick in the butt..this is something I will do every time I write so be prepaired. First the pat on the back to the organizers of the upcoming 15th region tournament for holding it in the the East KY Expo Center. I am a basketball-a-holic and the sport at this level is great to watch, sometimes frustrating but always worth the time to watch it. Putting this event in the Expo center allows more people who could not squeeze into a timy gym to enjoy the regional in a clean well lighted place. Its a natural for the arena and a good fit for the region. Get out and support it this week.


Now for the kick in the tush.....I am not the best driver in the western world but I try to observe the signs and limits that we must all go by. To people who have not yet masterd the art of merging onto a highway a swift kick in the pants ....When you merge YOU must increase your speed to match the traffic you are merging with. Merging is NOT a time to SLOW DOWN or God forbid, STOP....actions of this kind can cause real problems for other drivers...you remember other divers..we're the ones behind you screaming.....

If you have read this far, kuido and see you n ext time
