ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS IS JEFF BROWN WHO WORKS AT McDONALDS.
HE IS A BIG CUBS FAN AND IS HAPPY THAT KERRY WOOD IS COMING BACK TO PITCH
FOR THE CUBBIES NEXT YEAR. JEFF WAS BORN IN DECEMBER OF 1958, THE
FIRST WINTER THAT KMAQ WAS ON-THE-AIR. IT WAS A COLD AND SNOWY
WINTER. JEFF SAID TODAY HE REMEMBERS THE BOB FELLER DAYS OF BASEBALL.
JEFF LIVES IN HIS HOUSE NEAR WORK AND WHEN AT COFFEE AFTERNOONS, IT
IS ALWAYS FUN VISITING A BIT WITH JEFF. NEEDLESS TO SAY, DURING THE
BASEBALL SEASON, WE GET INTO SOME GOOD CARDINAL - CUB DISCUSSIONS.

THE STATE OF FLORIDA IS BIGGER THAN ENGLAND. GUESS WHERE I
READ THAT BIT OF INFORMATION?

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.
