I always joke that I have 100 jobs (and I might be slightly exaggerating…it’s more like 98 or 99). In addition to being on the radio, I also officiate weddings.
Over the weekend, I heard quite possibly THE BEST wedding toast in my entire life (and I’ve heard a lot of them). Logan, the Best Man, said he saw different variations of the Wood Ships Poem online leading up to the wedding but adapted it to fit the day.
Logan started his speech talking about meeting his best friend (the groom) when they were 4 years old at a campground and being fast friends all way up to present day. They went to school together and Logan said he was so happy that Scott was able to marry Dayna. He ended his heartfelt Best Man Speech by asking everyone to raise their glasses in a toast to the newlyweds and said this:
“Some ships are wood ships and those ships may sink. But the Best Ships are Friend Ships and to those ship, we drink!”
Aww!! There was not a dry eye in the building.
Congrats to Dayna & Scott! And may all of you reading this have friendships like Scott and Logan (because they really are the best ships)!

Movie Monday: Some great scary movies and a big disappointment
I must have been missing something because it seems that everyone was loving the movie Sinners. It made around $279 million in the United States and Canada and a worldwide total of approximately $367 million. It’s even returning to some IMAX theaters for Halloween. I popped some popcorn on Saturday night and settled in prepared […]

In The Kitchen with Laura McKenna: Use This To Keep Your Jack-O’-Lantern Fresh
Keep your Jack-O’-Lantern from getting too gummy too soon with lemon juice! It also works to keep the bugs from feasting on your artwork. Use a generous amount of lemon juice and brush it inside the carved pumpkin. The lemon juice slows the oxidation process (which causes the pumpkin to rot and get nasty). Bugs […]

Movie Monday Review: Heretic
I now love sinister Hugh Grant more than I love the “Aww, Shucks Rom-Com” Hugh Grant (although he’s believable in those roles, too- Love, Actually (2003), Notting Hill (1999), etc.) Without giving anything anyway, let me say this: If you love scary/thriller/cat & mouse style movies, watch Heretic (2024). I loved it. That’s all I’m […]
