Since I've got some free time, I've been eating even more! I'm hooked on the Crispy Flautas at Chevy's! I found out that during Happy Hour they're $3! Yumm!

There has been some very interesting calls from past co-workers and former bosses in other markets and other stations that have seen my name come up in the Trades. Many have asked if I'd be interested in moving. I guess... doesn't seem to be many job offers knocking at my door here. Looks like I will have to move soon if the Brinks Truck doesn't back up to my door.

Got this in my e-mail today:

Make money just by using your voice!

Dear Jerry,

There are a ton of ways to make money in this world…it really amazes me.

For instance, a lot of people think that the voices they hear on the radio and TV belong to actors with years of voice training. But the next time you hear a voiceover, really listen to the voices. Are they incredibly rich? Or unique? Do they sound like vocal experts with years of training?

Probably not.

In fact, the best way to describe these voices is REAL. That’s because people are more likely to listen to – and therefore BUY FROM – voices they can relate to. That means people with normal sounding voices are in demand. People like you.

Are you ready to cash in?
