Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer is just days away! I’m looking forward to being outside and enjoying the weather. Unfortunately the weather doesn’t always cooperate!

I talked with Q2’s Bob McGuire to get the scoop!

It's A War On Easter

Greg Tillotson — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:58:49 +0000

Have you heard about the “War On Easter”?I talked about it on the K-Bear Morning show today. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I just find the whole thing amazing. Several years ago, someone got the brilliant idea of taking the religion out of Christmas. Christmas parties and pageants were turned into “Holiday” events so [...]

Good Parade…Wish K-Bear Could Have Been There

Greg Tillotson — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 21:21:47 +0000

Almost everyone was wearing their green this morning for the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Wish I could have been driving the van, but as you can see from my pictures here, K-Bear had [...]

Ooooh That Smell…It Must Be St. Patrick's Day

Greg Tillotson — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:47:12 +0000

Are there certain smells that bring you right back to your childhood? This time of year there is definitely one smell that reminds me of why I am not a big fan of St Patrick’s Day. And it is all centered on my childhood and one particular smell. Every year on St. Patrick ’s Day [...]

Who Needs A Groundhog?

Greg Tillotson — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:19:02 +0000

Forget the groundhog! I can tell Spring is coming when the peeps show up at my local grocery store! Shopping at that store that starts with a giant W and guess what I found? Yellow peeps, purple peeps, green peeps! Nothing brings a quicker smile to my face than seeing peeps in the store. Spring [...]

If It's Not One Thing….

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:07:36 +0000

In December it was the Mayan calendar, in January it was the credit card bills from Christmas and now there is a double whammy for February! Not only am I supposed to remember Valentine’s Day, I also have to worry about an asteroid hitting earth? Apparently this asteroid was discovered last February 22nd by astronomers [...]

What's the Big Deal About Valentine's Day?

Jami Bond — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:53:55 +0000

Valentine’s Day is next Thursday and frankly I don’t know what all the fuss is about. I’m not a huge fan of the day set aside for sweethearts. I’m not bitter, (well maybe a little) but honestly the holiday has become way too commercialized and just a way for retailers to make a buck. However, [...]

Valentine's Day Dilemma

Greg Tillotson — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:42:22 +0000

So I am a romantic down to my very core. I will block out everything, turn off the cell phone if a movie like Casablanca is on. I love the ending in Sleepless in Seattle, where Meg Ryan finds the teddy bear…sorry. I think it comes from being raised in a house with my Mom [...]

All In Favor – Sign the Petition

Greg Tillotson — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:23:52 +0000

I found a note in my email this morning from a friend who is a rabid sports fan. For year “Bill” (not his real name) has lamented on how the day after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday. I think this started the year the Seahawks were robbed of a victory by the officials. [...]
