So the mid-term elections didn't necessarily go how I wanted, but what to do now? I've been going through phases:
1) Anger. This doesn't last because picking fights with "the other side" doesn't go very far. I'm probably not going to change people's minds on some key differences. Those who think this is a Christian nation will not understand how that statement makes me feel rather un-easy as a Jew.
2. Happy. I can be grateful that I live in a country where we have free elections.
3. Anger. The second phase is making me angry again because I'm thinking about all those political ads financed by third party groups that were filled with generalizations and lies.
4. Exercise. I found myself very motativated to run yesterday. When I got tired, I started thinking about things "the other side" said during this election that got me steamed and I was able to pick up the pace in my run.
5. Anger/Pride. I'm angry about the things I was thinking about during my run, but proud I ran faster than expected.
6. Fatigue. I'm feeling an overload from all the chatter about the election and our freedom. Also, I'm tired from the run.
7. Hunger. I'm ready to eat something because food is usually a way for me to have a temporary escape from something that's making me angry.
8. Delight. I forgot the McRib is back! Woo hoo! (This is not a paid endorsement for McDonald's. I truly love the McRib.)
9. Disgust. Did I really just have three McRib sandwiches?!
10. Anger. How could I have three McRibs?! I mean they're good, but I need to pace myself.
11. Denial. I didn't really have three McRibs and Ron Johnson didn't really beat Russ Feingold.
12. Acceptance. I guess this means I just have to wait three days to have another McRib and two years to vote again.
Loved the playlist from you and Kitty yesterday morning! Who chooses the playlist during your show? The music is always so great! And thanks again for cheering me up after the election failure. Also, could you all cool it on the Ray LaMontagne..... its not good enough to play as often as your station does.
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.

John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
