"a friend like you"....Geoff comes a callin'

You GOT to LOVE this job!

Where else could you be listening to a cd one minute

and the next be out in the WBFJ lobby listening to a live mini-concert

with the much loved GEOFF MOORE...

Geoff didn't do his "Snoopy and Charlie" song ( "A Friend Like You") or "HOMERUN"...

But with the help of sidekick Dana... Geoff did do a beautiful job with his classic

"LISTEN TO OUR HEARTS"... and several other moving praise songs.

A bit out of character for Wally but he pointed his finger right at Geoff and said...

"We're looking for a new record from you soon, Buddy!"

{Wally, I think they call them CD's now..lol)

Tami did the pointing finger thing and agreed... (and eventhough Erock was in a

Building 429 mood yesterday, he was really excited to see Geoff and join the

group hug).

AND..Papa John as always likes to show off his big tummy to all visiting dignitaries....(lol)

Geoff Moore..you made our day! Can't wait to hear the new CD.

You got to love this job!

Spelling Dilemma...

Kurt asked me if the word "DILEM_A" had one "m" or two... I told him it actually had a "m" and an "n"... I thought it was "d-i-l-e-m-n-a" and the "n" is silent like in "autumn"...

"But to be sure, let's look it up in the dictionary..." says me...

"D-I-L-E-M-M-A" says the dictionary! Must be a misprint!

I suddenly felt like I had ... in a moment of time... been thrust into the "TWILIGHT ZONE!"

This just can't be...

GOOGLE...please come to my rescue... I know I was taught to spell this word with an "n" and not two "m's"!

Yes... over 20,000 pages with the word "dilemna" (spelled with an "n"!) But unfortunately

no page would say that it was a legitimate spelling for the word!

But could 20,00 of us Googlers have been mispelling this word for all these years????????


Part of a whole generation (including ME) has been mispelling the word "DILEMMA" !!!!!

"No matter how you cut it... papajohn... you are in a dilemon"

(thanks Colton...I think you're right again, buddy) LOL.

Email me if you can tell me the origin of this mispelling... is it just me?john@papajohnsplace.com

Tami and Papa John deliver the pizza...

But unfortunately...NOT ON TIME!

We got lost making our way to Southwood Elementary in Lexington.

(Mrs. Pennino's Third Grade Class helped us with our WBFJ CiCi's Pizza Pledge this morning

with Tami, Verne and Darren so tami and I were making the big delivery of pizzas to the class).


We were supposed to be at the classroom at Noon so our starving students could be fed...

but at 12:10 pm we were still going around in circles (ever used mapquest?) so we were diligently praying for help...

Thankfully this "HAND" appeared and pressed the right buttons on the computer navigation to

bring up a usuable screen to help us find our way...

FINALLY... after a little navigational help we arrived at the school at 12:25...

And after Tami grabbed the pizzas, we headed inside...

We reported immediately to the lost and found to report in... they were glad we made it!

After one more little detour we made it to the classroom of empty tummies waiting on us...

We had so many great conversations I decided to pool them into one slide show so you wouldn't miss any of it....

"Papa John... time to leave that comfy rocking chair behind!"

Great Group Group!

You guys at Southwood Elementary (that means girls, too)

YOU R-O-C-K !

Thanks for having us...

Verne's most memorable date...???

Uncle Verne... Mama says you need to check the date on your Peter Pan...

Before you eat it!

Or else you might get those samon yellows all over you...

OOPS... me thinks it's too late uncle Verne...

(I feel your pain....sorta)

BUT Don't worry Uncle Verne...

after a few days it'll all wear off

and you'll be your OLD SELF again...



LOL!

(APPLAUSE)... "and the wii-ners ARE..."

Deke brought his dad's Wii in for a test drive while Wally was out to lunch.

Cindy apparently is a secret wii-er. When she saw the wii she was all over it!

"Gimme that paddle! " READY...
SET...
GO!!!
This is all cool you guys but just remember...even though Wally isn't watching... someone else is and this whole thing could have some far reaching consequences Decemeber 25...

Something to chew on...wii's-guys! LOL.

me thinks

Probably the smartest guy in the whole station...
Applachian graduate... math major... fluent en espanol...
but poor guy hates computers and technology...

But he got stuck where he HAD to file a claim by fax...

So Erock comes into the FM control room....

after fumbling a little...

finally breaks down and asks "How do I work this thing?".

I tell him to follow the simple instructions on the fax machine... "just remember face down..."

After a minute or so I hear a muffled "I think I got it!"

"WHEW... Me thinks Uncle Eric took those instructions way too serious! "

I'm with you, Colton. LOL!

Feb 14th...Page 2

When I woke up... I noticed My Sweetie was already up and was meandering through the house with

this fresh and noticibly

LOUD Red lipstick...

it just isn't like her to put lipstick on so early...

plus it definitely was not her regular color.

What in the world is she up to?

She handed me my Valentines Card and I had this feeling I was going to find out about the Hot

Red Lipstick real soon...

And...

sure enough...

suddenly it all made sense...

instead of lip stickers...

I got the real thing on my card!

Yep... there was even enough left over for Papa's cheek! LOL

Again "HAPPY VALENTINE's"...

oh yeh...something happened WBFJ today I got to tell you about.

Papa-razzi caught some good pictures but I gotta save them for later when Wally isn't looking... LOL.

February 14... plans go up in smoke...

As you remember from past posts... I am a romantic at heart BUT I flub a lot of special occasions... especially romantic ones.

So this Valentines Day I am trying to redeem myself...

Along with this beautiful HALLMARK Original I am preparing a romantic fire in our fireplace... I planned this weeks ago when I spotted this box containing a phoney but supposedly easy to light fire log at a yardsale for nothing...sign said "box FREE for the taking"... so I took it...

I though this should be a cinch...but the log just didn't look like the picture...

But quick and free is a hard combination to beat...

PLUS... "MORE FLAMES TO FALL IN LOVE WITH" really grabbed me...

And they are easier to light...

And they burn clean....

And they are even UL approved...I thought that was for appliances!

BUT the doggone thing was a dud...never could get it lit... smoked a lot, though! HA! HA!

Yard sale deals..YOU GOTTA LOVE 'EM!

Happy Valentine's Day...

from "Honest John" and "Honest Judy"!

PS: if you need REAL phoney logs... we suggest Wallmart... theirs are easier to light...

LOL!
