Swingin' 4th
Posted by TIM BEGGS on July 14, 2008
Junior finished his warm up swing looking like a pro on the 1st Tee Box wearing his John Tesh concert tee-shirt. I kept an eye on the boy while digging for some balls in my golf bag. "Whack!" was the sound as his club made contact with the ball. It ...

New Socks
Posted by TIM BEGGS on July 1, 2008
Back in High School my buddy Mark Gorman wrote about his socks in Mr. Lord's Class. I'll always remember how he got in front of class and said: "I hate my socks" and read to us why he disliked his socks? I've been thinking about Mark and his story while ...

ESPN....the home of the Spelling Bee?
Posted by TIM BEGGS on June 3, 2008
During the college football season you can almost see a game everynight on the all sports channel. Remember when college games were only played on saturdays. You can also get plenty of college basketball games during the regular season on ESPN. The NBA, NFL and Major League Baseball also are ...

Indy
Posted by TIM BEGGS on May 27, 2008
There are many who associate the month of May with the Indianapolis 500. I was always a fan of this great race back in the day. Like many I have drifted away from the Indy 500. It's not that I don't care about the great american race, I just don't ...

The Sewers
Posted by TIM BEGGS on May 7, 2008
It still might be early, but HELP!! The Brewers need it. My buddie Mezzie would refer to that baseball team in Milwaukee as the Sewers. That was a few years back when wins were rare for the Crew. Seems like old times again, as the Brewers continue to struggle on ...

Gear Bustin' Sort of a Feller
Posted by TIM BEGGS on May 6, 2008
I've always liked the classic truck driving songs. Dave Dudley (Wisconsin product) is right up there at the top of my list. You can't dispute Red Sovine when it comes to truckin' numbers. I remember my college football days with the Orediggers of Montana Tech. We'd travel abroad through the ...

A Day in the Life
Posted by TIM BEGGS on April 29, 2008
People have asked me if I always wanted to be in radio when I was a kid. I guess I did. We have a big family and shared bedroom space with my brother Pete who would get mad when I listened to the radio at night. So I got a ...

Flu Fun
Posted by TIM BEGGS on April 7, 2008
2 weeks ago I made the comment about not getting the flu this winter. At that time I was almost confident that I'd escaped the cold and flu bug this year. Open mouth and insert foot here. Well I was wrong. I got the flu and I got it good. ...

Fish Belly White
Posted by TIM BEGGS on March 24, 2008
After dinner we enjoyed a nightcap or 2 and I fired up a fine Dominican cigar. It's great to be on vacation I remember thinking. I've never traveled like this in the middle of winter, but I'm already thinking that it's a great time to go somewhere warm when Wisconsin ...

Ryan Flight 1440
Posted by TIM BEGGS on February 26, 2008
The pre-flight announcements are heard throughout the cabin of the aircraft. We thought this time would never come. I've got just enough room to sit down and with some effort get my seatbelt to connect. (big breath) I'd say we were packed in like sardines, but I think even they ...

The BIG Game
Posted by TIM BEGGS on January 28, 2008
Since my picks have fizzled I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents regarding the Big Game this weekend. I lost with the Packer/Giants game. Like most folks around here I thought Green Bay was a "lock" over the G-Men. It's been a week and I'm over the Packer loss. ...

Conference Champion Picks
Posted by TIM BEGGS on January 14, 2008
I went 2-2 last weekend with wins from Green Bay & New England and losses from Indianapolis & Dallas. It did suprise me that the Colts and Cowboys both lost at home. It was a pleasant suprise following the Giants win which puts New York in the NFC Championship at ...
