For almost my entire 26 year radio career I have ended my shows with "I'm looking for a meatball with my name on it."  I have no idea where that saying came from.  It means nothing.  But.... Over the years that little phrase has taken on a life of its own...

THIS IS A THROWBACK THURSDAY POST FIRST PUBLISHED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO! I have heard about it ever since I was a kind.  Throw a cup of of water into the sky when it is below zero, and it will turn into snow right before your eyes.  This morning, Dan says "Let's try it...
