DOES A HUMAN BEING ONLY GET ONE CHANCE?

This morning I received an e-mail from a listener who mentioned that her boss decided to switch the station because he was promised a CD by us several months ago and we never came through. I was given no names, no dates, nothing. as a matter of fact, I remember no complaint being sent about something like this. I will tell you that one of the things I try to do EVERY day is make sure I can get to you and solve any problems, answer and complaints or questions or listen to any opinions you may have. We are all busy...doing more for less these days, of course, but there is always time to help someone or, at least, listen. We all try to be this way in our building. I guess we are missing the mark, in some respects, judging from this morning's decision by that one boss so all I can say now is that we are committed to making sure your experience with Eagle is a good and memorable one.

The Innocence of Youth, for sure.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working as volunteers at our church yesterday, during one of the services, watching over one the children's groups. We happened to be assigned the 2 and 3 year olds. Of course, I probably should have foregone my usual morning workout because I did get one during this 90 minutes. Above all, there is something easily noticeable about these little men and women. They were all about fun, games and smiling. No relationship issues to deal with. No worries about what they were wearing (more than half though their shoes/sandals were way too cumbersome!). They just enjoyed every minute and, used every minute they could to enjoy. Something for all of us "grown ups" to learn.

THE YEAR IS ALREADY HALF OVER

Has it hit you yet that we are already halfway through 2009????? Two-thousand-freakin' NINE!!! We're all so wrapped up that, when you stop and actually think about it, this year has zoomed by. With the holiday weekend upon us, use the time you have NOW to spend a little more of it with family and friends. The job will still be there Monday. And, you know what?...it'll be there whether you're there or not. You never know how long friends and family will be around. Just look at all the prominent folks who left this earth in the past two weeks alone. Here's to a happy safe 4th weekend for you AND your family and friends!
