I want to be a Cowboy Hat Guy. It looks better in person. Swear. What do you think?

Here is a nice piece by Pam LeBlanc from the Statesman. Check out the messages below the article. What a bunch of scrooges. Thanks to those who defended, "Bikes for Kids"

Check out Twitter

Twitter is my new thing. Lance Armstrong introduced it to me a couple of weeks ago. Check it out at www.twitter.com/sandymcilree I feel like I am cheating on my blog, espcially for all the people that check this out on a regular basis. I will try to update this blog too. This is way better for photos and videos. Twitter is just short little messages. Very addictive though.

Had a nice Christmas, first time in 6 years that Tricia and I didn't go to her grandparents ranch. We had dinner with her entire family last week at Threadgills.

Went hunting in Kerrville last week. I got the Black Buck I wanted. Duck season is next, I LOVE duck hunting.
Hoping to ride Motocross next week.

Bullet Points

Only one more show until the best show of the year. The "Bikes for Kids" Giveaway Show. It is at Mellow Johnnies this year at 4th and Nueces. Lots of hard work goes in to this every year and this year is no different. So many people to thank, mostly the listeners....Thanks, we did it again this year. Friday morning, 850 Trek Bikes, Locks and Helmets will find there way under a tree somewhere in Central Texas. If you donated, do me a favor on Christmas morning. Stop and think about that kid that you helped get a bike. I do it every year, it is a great feeling.

We'll be gone for 2 weeks, back on the air live on Monday the 5th. Keep checking the Blog, I plan on updating through out the break.

Lots of nice notes from listeners regarding my Christmas Letter this morning. Thank you it is appreciated. JB is always funny and will kill tomorrow at 8am.

What am I doing during the break? I am going to the Shonto Ranch on Monday to hunt a Black Buck. I know it sounds weird, but I am obsessed with this animal. We are going to hunt Monday and fish for trout on Tuesday. Check this place out: www.shontoranch.com great fishing deals. I am going with my one of my best friends, Moore and his son and my Godson, 7 Year old Hunter. I look forward to doing the same thing with my son when he comes.

I also plan on going to ride Motocross at the Texas Ski Ranch. Yep, you can ride dirt bikes at the ranch in New Braunfels, check it out www.texasskiranch.com This is a great gift for anyone, no experience is necessary. Hans is the instructor and he kicks ass. We rode the 45 mile Livestrong Ride together (on bicycles not motorcycles)

I hope the weather is nice because I want to play golf too.

The most ridiculous show on TV is on TRUTV: Rehab at The Hard Rock Hotel. If you haven't heard about it; every Sunday at the pool at The Hard Rock in Las Vegas is a huge party. Picture 80's style Spring break, Vegas Style. It is a reality show of the entire thing. Lots of Tats, Lots of idiots, Lots of Posers, Lots of Douchbags,lots of guys like Bobby Bones, lots of slutty girls, lots of guys from Jersey that think they are ballers, lots of vodka, lots of people that should have taken the first flight home on Sunday morning instead of going to Rehab.

Tricia is doing much better. I am happy for her, that first 3 months were rough. She is looking pregnant and I think it looks hot.

Having sushi with a good friend tonight at Musoshino, which is the best Sushi in Austin. You can keep all your cool trendy joints, I like my sushi old school, the way Smokey does it at Musoshino. This is the first time I have had sushi, in over 3 months. Pregnant chicks don't eat sushi. So far I figure the last three months has saved me $500.

This just in: The NBA has a huge image and product problem. The games are unwatchable. With the exception of a few superstars, the league is diluted with no-talents and trouble makers. My god, does anyone play defense? Frustrating for a sports fan.

Finish your Christmas shopping. The pressure is on for me to do a good stocking. Problem is, I don't "get" the stocking at all. I have pressure.

Car fire

A car caught on fire this morning in the radio station parking lot.

Tricia is starting to look pregnant and says she feels normal again. First Trimester was brutal on her.

The Comedy Show at the Paramount this Sunday is going to be a blast. Get your tickets at www.gettix.net

Ready for a break, last show is December 19th. End of year party is at Logans on 6 Street. Join us. We will be drunk and we will be disorderly

Looks like I am not going to Hawaii in Jan. Oh well, it isn't going to sink.

Looks like I am going on a Black Buck Hunt at the Shonto Ranch in December.

Going to a friends Ranch this weekend. Spending a weekend in the sticks (very nice sticks) is always good for the soul.

Everything is back to normal at the house after the fireplace/shop van fiasco. Thanks to Rick, Jaun and Jess at Sear Carpet and Air Duct cleaning. They are the best

Christmas Tree and decorations are up, I will post a photo later. Oh, we put Frost up in the front yard too. The kids in the neighborhood love it.

I am fighting off a cold. It happens to me every year, I'll have to see Dr. John soon.

Bumper has been gone just over a month, still hard to believe he isn't coming home. Bums me out.

Heard a rumor that a competing morning show host has a large unpaid gambling debt that may cause some problems. Again, just a rumor.

I like to gamble. I am not proud to admit it, but I had a bookie when I was 13 years old.

I am buying life insurance, wow, never thougth that would happen.

Bikes for Kids is going well, you guys are so generous, thank you. I would challenge that no other radio show in town has more generous listeners than ours. I would also bet that none of them have done as much charity work as our show.

Brei on the show cracks me up. I love how honest she is about sex. Awesome

Lauren (our newest member) is great too, I think she may have added 10 years to my life. She takes care of all the things I want or wanted to take care of but never did. I love Lauren and her crazy head of hair. I think you would love her too. I don't know why she is single.

Crazy shooting at the new Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. A friend of mine was standing right next to the guy when he was shot. The shooter was loose in my neighborhood. I am not kidding, I had a 9mm pistol and a shotgun ready for action. I love being a Texan.

I may go to Hawaii in January. Really want to, just sorting some things out.

I am hoping to go back to Shonto Ranch and hunt a Black Buck Antelope, my friend Moore is going too.

I have a freezer full of Deer meat right now. Anyone need sausage? :)

Monday night football is on. Later.

These are the pants Rich Beem brought Alex.

Michael Phelps New Girlfriend

He took her home to Momma for Thanksgiving. This is the most wholesome photo I could find of her.

Photo Retouch
