"This radio station salutes all the true believers:
- Think in terms of cliches
- Is life a gigantic multiple choice game?
- Dear friend - the meaning has changed
- Did you ever feel that you're jinxed? Stepping on cracks on sidewalk
Shep relates story when he stepped on a crack as a kid and worried about his mother. Says that the step on a crack and break your mother's back jinx goes on to say 'and you'll have bad luck forever'
Shep gets a lifetime subscription to a magazine and recently got a notice that it is being cancelled.
Shot putting in high school.
