Accents

Wow, two posts in like, an hour. Anyway, here is the result of my accent test. No surprise really.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Kalvary Quotes

Kalvary is a trip. We were driving the other night to go Christmas and Birthday shopping for Kris. I switched the channel over to the station I work for 100.7 WEEC. They were replaying our 45th Anniversary Special and I was just checking to make sure it was playing, since they had had some problems getting it to start earlier. Anyway, Kalvary yells from the back seat, "No Daddy, Sunny 95!! For those of you from the Columbus area, Sunny 95 plays a mix of Christmas music that we enjoy and WEEC doesn't play music all the time. Well apparently Kalvary prefers their mix.

The other good one was when I was just singing in the Van one of the Christmas songs we had heard on Sunny 95, I sang the line "Simply havin" and Kalvary finished it from the back seat, "a wonderful Christmas time" That Girl is getting too smart for her britches. We have our Freed Christmas on Saturday and our Shirk Christmas on Monday. We just had our own little Christmas this past Saturday. Here is a video of Kalvary, Glory and I, opening one of Kalvary's presents.

It is the Freed Families Christmas Greeting on WEEC

Yeah a new post!

Last night was the Weec Christmas banquet. It was quite enjoyable. We took Kalvary and Glory and they were both very cute. The food was catered by Rudys smokehouse barbecue in Springfield and was very, very, good. Two things happened of note. The first is concerns the evening entertainment. He was an excellent concert Pianist named Steve Banks. He was playing Christmas songs and everyone was sort of singing along. Well, Kalvary joined in, very audibly on Silver Bells. I didn't know where she picked up the tune but she knew it and the words. When he finished he leaned in her direction and said, Hey, I could hear you better than anyone else." She looked very cute and just nodded.



The other thing that happened is that Kalvary and I almost burned WEEC studios to the ground. Ok, I'm exaggerating a little. We were singing carols and when we were done, one of us, and I think it was Kalvary, laid the song booklet back on the table. It just happened to be on top of the the candle and went up like it was doused in Kerosene. I grabbed it and was about to toss it on the floor and stomp on it, but I then realized that that would leave a black mark and would make the event even more memorable. ("Hey where did that black mark come from?" "Well, this guy named Ryan Freed used to work here.") I ended up blowing it out. It took some serious air and spread soot all over Kalvary and I.



To finish this off I will leave you with two pictures. One of Kalvary and Glory Shopping, and one to see just how on the ball the add people are at the top of the page. It is of a Bottle Jack. :)
