Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!

This was the ship as we were docked at the Kings Wharf Dockyard in Bermuda

This was our view out of our balcony...
The gorgeous Horseshoe Bay in Bermuda...
This obviously isn't my photo, but it certainly sets the scene

Hey look! It's my winter home!
This is in the Windows restaurant, named for obvious reasons...
I can't seem to find the picture of the 4 of us at 2am (giggle giggle) but here are WINK Country's Mark Healey and his wife Angela at a reasonable hour...
Jeannie had quite the week...click over to Jean's Blog here to see...
5/26/09 We're back!
So nice to be back with Jeannie on KNE FM. I'll post some Bermuda Cruise pics when I get them all transferred and uploaded. The weather at Dockyard was 75 and partly sunny every day on the island. It was just perfect. Thanks for all of the "welcome back" calls and emails!
5/13/09 Answers....
Jean and I get a lot of great email from listeners. Funny stories, tv talk, comments and causes...well, read this one and see if you can help.
Good Morning Steve,
I am writing asking for help which I am sure you get alot of. However, I am not looking for money or anything materialistic. I am asking for help for my one year old little boy. I have been told that my son is "deaf, blind with a rare seizure disorder. He may never crawl, walk or talk but nobody knows why." Which is an answer I cannot accept. I have contacted as many news stations, talk shows and magazines that I could think of asking them to help me share Cole's story because I know all it takes is one person and it could change Cole's life. But nobody has responded to us. I cannot stop fighting and searching for someone to be Cole's voice. Someone that has a voice people will listen to. I love my son more than anything... but love cannot help him in the way that is needed.
If you could take 4.5 minutes and look at the video on the link below I would so greatly appreciate it. Even if you feel you cannot help us but can find it in your heart to at least pass the video along it would mean the world to us.
I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Check out this nasty bugger that Jean found outside:

Put some elbow grease into it
Wait until your father gets home
I hope you have a kid just like you some day
I never talked to my mother like that
Wipe that look off of your face
It is what it is
Why? Because I said so- that's why
...Because it's good for you
When things get to the point when you have to either laugh or cry- laugh.
"No" is a complete sentence
Don't make me come over there
If your friends jumped off a bridge would you follow?
If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything
What part of NO did you not understand?
I remember when I was a kid I had to walk uphill in a snow storm both ways
Go out and get a stick from the whipping tree and make sure it's a good one otherwise I'm gonna make you go out and get another
That's it- you're grounded for a life time
Tell me the truth- who really did it
If you pick your nose, you will get worms in your belly
There's another person living in this house and his name is NOT ME My high school friend Andy's mom was a hoot. Here's what she said once: You boys be careful out there on that driveway playing ball with all of those pine cones out there, those things have been known to kill people
Here's a great clip for moms everywhere:
5/7/09 Where does the time go?
Hard to believe that my kids are 12 and 9. I still meet listeners who remember the day that Courtney was born back in 97, and when Ryan joined us in 99. Thanks to everyone who asks about my kids! They're the reason I was put on this earth.
Here's the classic "now and then" comparing just 6 years ago with today.

Funnyordie.com is actually a very funny site. Former SNL alum Will Ferrell is one of the great minds behind it. As you may or may not know, Lindsay Lohan is single again after taking a break from Samantha Ronson.
Let's go Red Sox! Opening Day is days away. Monday, to be exact. The grass will be greener. The days will get warmer. Finally, spring is really upon us. "Sweet Caroline". Walk off homers. Big wins...agonizing losses. It'll be nice to have our friends back for the next 6 months.
Don't forget, we'll have every game on our sister station 1290 WKBK. You can find a complete schedule here

I hope you've signed up for our Chocolate Emergency Squad. We'll be picking our first winner on Monday and I'll be personally delivering a half empty box of chocolates...okay, fine, I won't take any. Like I said, I'll be personally delivering a full box of chocolates from Ye Goodie Shoppe at the Colony Mill. Be sure to sign up because you could be the MVP of your workplace if I come knocking at your door Monday!
Ye Goodie Shoppe has a great gift idea that gives all year long. Check out the Sweet of the Month club here

So yesterday morning, Jeannie made me watch this video clip of some lion name Christian. In case you hadn't seen the 40 year old footage, I've posted it below. I then had to show it to Christie and the rest of our clan...it really was pretty nice.
3 more questions for Steve and Jean
How did you get your start in radio?
JEAN: I was a junior in high school when the local radio station ran an ad looking
for a reporter. I was already writing for a weekly newspaper so my mother
called the school and Paul Tarsa the vice principal (who was wicked cute)
got me out of class. Mother told me to apply for the job after school that
day. I did and I got the job on the spot. Never argue with mother.
STEVE: I was a junior in high school too. I just started showing up as an intern, next thing you know, they actually let me on the air. That's only because there literally was NO ONE ELSE available! 20 years later, I think it worked out.
What's the best/worst part of being on the radio?
JEAN:Worst; hours and pay. Best; wanting to go to work every day.
STEVE: Worst; I don't get to send my kids off to school in the morning. Best; I love my job, every day! Plus...I get to pick up my kids from school!
What would be your second choice for a profession?
JEAN:Hmmmmm, maybe ice cream taster.
STEVE: I would have to go to Hollywood and take over Drew Carey's role as host of the Price Is Right.
How about some good news for a change?
WE AGREE!
Be sure to check out our new feature KNE FM GOOD NEWS which will be on around 845. There are so many good things happening out there...and we want to hear your good news too!
Did your kids do something outstanding? Are you pregnant? Are you NOT pregnant?
Everyone always asks Jean about my vacation time. I've been told that I need to post some "Steve Vacation Pictures" ...so here we go.
Who doesn't love cruising? You gotta love your waiter!
Here are Christie and I, with my parents getting ready for a show.
When Jean says "are you going to the Lake House?" this is where I am:
OK....this is one of the most fun things I've ever done. In the picture is Courtney tubing...wicked fun!
Courtney and I at Diana's Bath, a great swim spot in the White Mountains.
We spent Thanksgiving 2007 at the Turks and Caicos Islands. This was a shot from the back of the house. This whole bay was shallow enough so you could walk to the beach.
My face suddenly got younger looking around this time...
And then we took all the kids to Florida and Disney last summer!
Courtney and Ryan back in June 2008. I just love Disney!
Does this picture make my leg look fat?
Of course, when the huge donut came to Springfield, I was there...
...and guys, how happy would you be if your woman took you deep sea fishing on your birthday? Yup, that's a keeper!
