Feeling Thankful

Hello New Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show!

Another great week for the BIG Trivia Show is in the books and I have YOU to thank! It is about feeling thankful this week and that should be the focus. It was a year ago the month that I was doing something completely different than trivia. For eight years, I was a loyal employee of Clear Channel radio as a producer and on-air "talent". Well, the economy spares no one from its wrath and I was a casuality of the dreaded budget cut. Thankfully, I made a good friend while in radio. Every week, Curtis Earth would come in on Friday's and do a round of trivia for the listeners. We struck up a friendship and his phone call was one of the first made after the "Layoff". I was an admirer of what Curtis had built over the past 15 or so years and felt that it was something I would be good at. Plus, it was a job and I needed one badly. So, since December '07 this has been my professional life and it has been a blast! I am often asked if I miss my old radio life. My honest answer is NO! This is more personal, more rewarding. I look forward to each and every show because I get to see and have fun with my friends. How many jobs can offer that? It is for this, for you, I am thankful. I know the economy has been tough on all of us. Everyone has felt its effects and I know my story is one of many. I just hope for a couple hours a week, I can help take your mind off of it for a little while. This is my reward.

Now its time for our BTS Team of the Week. This team has many different variations but they always represent. Sometimes they are only two, other times they expand to four or five. They welcome new members and share the winnings with all. Plus, they play every day at Copper Rocket, not just once or twice a week! They are addicted, but this is an addiction we can all appreciate! I am thankful for you all, but this week I want to give big thanks to this week's BTS Team of the Week........I LIKE BEER!!
