This hurts for me personally because KB Toys was based in a place near and dear to my heart, Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
I'm sorry to see this happen.

I'm so excited!! Patience pays off!!! Hey Ris!!!!
I have a mental list of several old friends whom I have attempted to "find" via the web the last few years.
I can check one off my list!!
"Ris" (her nickname) was the first person ever to train me on a commercial radio station (teaching me how to run the board for a University of Massachusetts football game); she got her start in radio in high school! I did not mind being trained by someone a year younger than I. Who cares!
We came good friends, worked together, even visited her at UMass one time before I had to move back home.
And this morning, after a few years of trying, bingo! Found her blog.
Read it here.
She's awesome (note in her profile she is even polite in traffic....Boston-area traffic!! You have to be awesome to do that, and patient, too!).
Happy Holidays, Ris!!

Tagged! I'm it!!
Scott, part of the RVA Blogs group here in Richmond, has tagged me. So, let me release some stuff about me.
The Rules
• Start with 7 random facts/habits about yourself
• People who are tagged have to write their 7 things on their blog
• Then choose another 7 people to get tagged and list their names
• Don’t forget to leave them a comment to tell them they have been tagged
1) I began my professional radio career in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
2) My best friend there did the overnights. He, I and another DJ planned an "overnight pajama pizza party" to celebrate third shift workers. We told the audience we were really wearing pajamas and invited them to stop by. I don't remember what jammies I had in 1986. :)
3) As much as I love the NFL, I've yet to see a game live.
4) My list of commercial catchphrases that annoy me is growing quickly.
5) My first love is now as close as a sister to me, and I'm in closer touch with her 22 years after high school than anyone else I graduated with.
6) I will be buried in a golf shirt and a pair of shorts, with a bottle of nasal spray (saline) in my left front pocket.
7) I need a solution to my male PMS, and this new drug approved today for women's cycles won't help.
