GOOD TIMES AT HOOPPLES....

My friend Norm at HOOPLES celebrated his 40th birthday on Saturday night with a packed house at the bar! I enjoyed my first Dortmunder ever at HOOPPLES and Norm and I have been friends ever since. Two years ago, I celebrated my 40th at HOOPPLES ....

....the difference between the two parties.....??? I didn't require people to wear pink.... : )

HOOPPLES is a great bar with an awesome view of the city. The people who go there and the people who run the place are authentic. If you have never been, I highly suggest you check it out.

During the season, ANNIE came on the show and gave us and up close and personal interivew about anything and everything. It was one of my favorite interviews of 2009. They are both very cool on and off the air. JOE is getting set for the PRO BOWL in Miami in a few weeks.

POSSIBLE APL PROMO PIC

My daughter Gabby snapped this pic of me and our dog Lucy this morning. It's a possible promo pic for our upcoming Radiothon for The Cleveland Animal Protective League. We adopted Lucy in October after fostering her for several weeks. Last year, we teamed up with our listeners to raise over 70-thousand dollars for The APL.

UM, YEAH...I ate dog food....

After I got my daughter off the bus Tuesday afternoon, I accidently ate what I thought was part of her after~school snack...Boy was I wrong! It inspired another edition of HORRIBLE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT WE THINK ARE FUNNY.

THE TALE OF 2 LEMONADE STANDS....

I'm a big fan of lemonade stands. In fact, I have NEVER (and I do mean NEVER) passed a lemonade stand without stopping to make a purchase. This is a tale of two lemonade stands passed along to me from a good friend...

The first stand is run by two kids. They use Countrytime lemonade, paper cups and a bridge table. It's a decent lemonade stand, one in the long tradition of standard lemonade stands. It costs a dollar to buy a cup, which is a pretty good price, considering you get both the lemonade and the satisfaction of knowing you supported two kids.
The other stand is different. The lemonade is free, but there's a big tip jar. When you pull up, the owner of the stand beams as only a proud eleven year old girl can beam. She takes her time and reaches into a pail filled with ice and lemons. She pulls out a lemon. Slices it. Then she squeezes it with a clever little hand juicer.
The whole time that's she's squeezing, she's also talking to you, sharing her insights (and yes, her joy) about the power of lemonade to change your day. It's a beautiful day and she's in no real hurry. Lemonade doesn't hurry, she says. It gets made the right way or not at all. Then she urges you to take a bit less sugar, because it tastes better that way.
While you're talking, a dozen people who might have become customers drive on by because it appears to take too long. You don't mind, though, because you're engaged, almost entranced. A few people pull over and wait in line behind you.
Finally, once she's done, you put $5 in the jar, because your free lemonade was worth at least twice that. Well, maybe the lemonade itself was worth $3, but you'd happily pay again for the transaction. It touched you. In fact, it changed you.
Which entrepreneur do you think has a brighter future?

CLEVELAND FEATURED ON FOOD NETWORK...again..

GUY FIERI features another Cleveland restaurant on DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES tonight at 10pm on The Food Network. This week, he'll showcase STERLE'S SLOVENIAN COUNTRY HOUSE ON 55th Street. Margot stopped by the show this morning to let us sample some of her food that will be featured on "Triple-D" tonight and it was fantastic. She is a very kind lady and can certainly hold her own in an interview. Listen to it by clicking here.
