This ‘n That

* Just so you know, I am still recuperating from standing, screaming, jumping and singing by the stage when the band “Hairball” performed during the Wild West Fest in Hays. They were awesome and I loved every minute of it. I also saw Lonestar the night before. I very much appreciated that they came out on stage when scheduled even though there was a weather watch for that evening. They said they came to perform, and that is just what they did! Actually, it did rain a little during one or two of their songs, but that just made it all the more memorable.

* Actor James Caan has passed away. My favorite movie of his is “Brian’s Song.” And I still remember waiting in line at the Hays theatre with my best friend Tessy Korb to get in to see the first “Godfather” movie.

* I think we should bring back the “Midnight Swim” at the pool this year!

* Just so you know, I haven’t watched Jeopardy since Alex Trebek passed away.

* Recently I was looking up some information for Yesteryear photos and noticed that in 1989 the interest rate on a three-month CD at First Federal Lincoln was 8.75%, and a six-month CD was 9.00%.

* I read this and couldn’t agree more… “Your friend who is NOT my friend should never know my business.”

* Just letting you all know it is getting closer to October and Halloween!

*Ten things that require very little from an individual, but are very much appreciated: Being on time; Making an effort; Being high energy; Having a positive attitude; Being passionate; Using good body language; Being coachable; Doing that little extra; Being prepared; and Having a strong work ethic.

* You have all heard about the wonders of lavender. It can be used to help with headaches, supports sleep, reduces pain and inflammation—the list goes on and on. Come to find out, I’m allergic.
