No words.

There are no words that haven’t been said before, to describe how not only a community, but an entire nation, feels right now. We’ve been down this road so many times. When will this stop? We stand united in our grief, and in solidarity with our love, for the victims of this senseless tragedy in […]

Another Price Increase!?

I think it is safe to say that no one in history has ever been excited about a service rate increase. Well, other than maybe the service provider that’s going to be bringing in more money. We all know that the cost of goods and services have gone up. Way up. But how many of […]

I Must Reduce!

OK, so I realize the holiday season is not the ideal time to start a diet. Well, for me it’s not necessarily starting a diet but rather continuing one. I am the stereotypical yo-yo dieter. Back in 2013 I started to get healthy, changed my diet, started exercising, and changed my life. I am 6‘4“ […]

Go Ahead, Indulge!

It’s Thanksgiving! Time to see how much we can eat, how much we can drink, how much family dynamics we can handle, how much football we can watch, and do all of it without falling asleep on the couch. I urge everyone to indulge in what makes you feel good. Whether it’s an extra serving […]

Congrats Blackhawks!

What an incredible season. Even though it didn’t end the way we all wanted, we are so proud of our hometown BW Blackhawks football team. You played hard, kept your heads up, and showed the state how incredible you are. You did us proud!

It’s Getting a Bit Thin Up There!

When I was a kid, my hair was so thick, the stylist would have to use thinning shears. If only I had a dollar for every time I heard, “You’ll never have to worry about a lack of hair!” Um, yeah. My first thought is how the passing of time can be so cruel. I’m […]

27 Year Old vs 58 Year Old?

If you’re like most people, you’re hoping to see Iron Mike knock Jake Paul out tonight. There’s a certain nostalgia to seeing Mike Tyson enter the ring. After all, he’s arguably the greatest boxer that’s ever lived. His record is incredible. But with the passage of time comes age, and with age comes deficits. A […]

The Habit I Cannot Break!

This blog is going to get a bit personal. You’ve been warned! Some habits are tough to break. Some are downright impossible. 22 years ago, I quit smoking. That was a huge accomplishment. 12 years ago, I got healthy and lost over 50 lbs. Another huge accomplishment for me. I know this is gross, and […]

Ode to Elwood

You may not recognize the name Elwood Edwards, but I can guarantee that you know his voice. In 1989, Elwood recorded the voice prompts for America Online. AOL was the way a majority of us (now old people) connected to the Internet back in the day. After hearing the sound of our 14.4, 28.8, or […]

Kindness Wins!

Well, there’s no doubt about it. This was a hard fought campaign for both candidates. The unfortunate side of elections is all of the negative “mudslinging” that happens between all parties. Whether or not your candidate won, I think most of us are thankful that it is over. No more negative campaign ads! It’s certainly […]

New Feature!

I’m pleased to announce a new feature on my afternoon show! Tune in weekdays in the 4pm hour for “This Day in Music History.” I’ll dig up the most notable historical music headlines of the day. A brief trip down music memory lane, only on CFW!

Thank you!

Today is National First Responders Day. I want to say “thank you” to all of the heroic and brave men and women that serve as first responders. Firefighters, police, EMT’s, paramedics, among others….put themselves in harms way to help and protect us. They are often the first to arrive, and take immediate action in the […]
