Back to the rain

I'm trying to remember if Sunday's weather was as nice as I remember or if it's just a case of "I'll take what I can get" when it comes to sunshine. Here we go with the cloudy, drizzly weather again. No let up til the end of the week or maybe Saturday.

If you missed today's show, you'll be excused as long as you bring a note tomorrow. We talked quite a bit about a new rule that will take effect in Massachusetts schools on August 1st. No more bake sales! No more candy bar drives! This comes from the Department of Public Health and Education who says the reason is new rules are necessary to combat obesity, which affects about a third of Massachusetts students. Bake sales??!! Haven't they been around since the 50s and we were alot thinner then. Our consensus, and that of our callers, was that kids need to be more active.

Katie Workman was our guest this morning just before 8:00. She is the editor of "The Mom 100 Cookbook." Great recipes ideas for busy moms (and dads) that the kids will like and some tips. Her website is http://www.themom100.com/.

If you missed the Impossible Quesiton, Delores figured it out. 80% of people do this in their cars. Do what? They sing. And not too well when you examine it. I'm one of those car singers that makes up his own lyrics like that commercial using "Rocket Man" by Elton John.

Here's a preview of tomorrow's question: 53% of all Americans do this every day. Do what? We'll take your calls at 7:38am.

Also tomorrow we'll play "Don't Forget The Lyrics." I'll play a snippet from an oldie, then we'll stop it. You tell me what comes next. I had fun putting this together today. I found a youtube video on "One Hit Wonders" of the 70s. "The Night Chicago Died," "Vehicle," "Beach Baby," and the one we'll use  tomorrow at 6:38am.

The Hot Jobs Report is on at 8:38am when we check with the Greater New Bedford Career Center for job openings.

And a list of things all mothers should know. We'll have that at 7:52am.
