The Show

I want to start by thanking everyone for all of the positive feedback I got from having Michael Patrick McDonald on the show Friday. His MIghtyMorningShow appearance generated more positive emails than any other guest in the past. He also, I'm sure, appreciates everyone that said they "stopped by the bookstore or went to Amazon.com" to "buy his book", "All Souls". We will have him on the show again when he returns to work on the movie version of A.S. It was Stacey's (Party Girl) birthday. I got her a pair of sneakers that didn't fit. I started the show by giving her what she called "the best birthday present" I fell running down the hall. I wiped out in a pair of flip-flops skinning both my knees moments before the start of the show. Gave away Oslo tickets and my copy of our guest's book signed by the author and me.

The Guests

Heather King, who wrote the book "Parched, the true story of an alcoholic that grew up in New Hampshire, was able to obtain a law degree, but never practiced law because of her alcoholism. She is also the sister of Joe King from the legendary punk rock band, The Queers. She was very interesting to talk with and I enjoyed reading her book. Kevin P. Stevenson of the Shods called. He was having difficulty finding an address for the station.
