I've got the Twitter question as our poll question, and I'm interested in what people think about this form of social networking. I know a few people that use Twitter, but I don't know of many people that actually follow tweets. So that brings me to the question of whether GMFS should join the Twitter Nation.
I'm split on my thoughts. On the plus side, it's a an easy way to communicate with the viewers of our program and we can get an instant response. However, between two Facebook pages, this blog and the actual show itself, I really don't know what more you could want to know about the show. And as evidenced by this blog, I'm not someone who is consistent with postings. The show is the number one focus and we post when there is available time. Thoughts?

Bowling Round Up
A big thanks to everyone that participated in the Bowling Round Up to benefit Magic Moments as they were able to raise almost $12,500. I was going to take photos of the event, but Shannon and I got so wrapped up in giving prizes away, my camera never left my pocket. However, I know that several other people snapped pictures.
The funny thing about hosting an event like the Bowling Round Up is that most people are surprised by the energy we possess. I really can't explain it, but we're able to maintain the same amount of cheer that we also have during the show. I'm not a morning person and neither is Shannon. Yet for some reason, the adrenaline kicks in when the red light goes on. Hopefully our energy doesn't scare anyone, especially at an event.
Again, thanks to everyone that took time on Saturday to help. Hope to see you next year and maybe the weather won't interfere.

Random Thoughts: March 9
As luck would have it, a major snowstorm happened on my 13th anniversary at Good Morning Four States. With all the concentration on the incoming snow, I didn't mention the occasion and put it out of mind with the second storm and then my illness. So a month after the fact, I reference it now.
It's just been over 13 years since I first set foot at KODE. Coming from Jefferson City, I didn't know very much about Joplin, but was looking forward to the new challenge of a morning show. I realize that my early appearances weren't good and that it took some time to grow into the job. With all the changes in technology, I still find myself learning. And after six co-hosts, various fill-in anchors and countless production co-workers, I look forward to another 13 years. Hopefully you can handle it Joplin.
Many times throughout the show, we'll make a comment about members of a production crew. It's usually directed at our director Matt, or one of our camera operators. The camera ops get the "special" treatment because they happen to be in the studio with us. The above photo is Steve. I can't explain the hat. For some reason, the crew decided the dress up and Matt brought in the hat. Judging by Steve's expression, he wasn't expecting the photo. Surprise Steve.
The Magic Moments Bowling Round-Up is Saturday, March 12. They still have a few spaces for individual bowlers. Shannon and I will be co-hosting the event. Bowling and plenty of prizes. They ask that you raise at least $30. It's taking place at Carl Richards Bowl East. Please arrive by 12:30 p.m.
