I almost couldn't believe my ears when I got the news that my offer had been accepted. I'm still uneasy about discussing the details of this endeavor because there is still much to be done. After Labor Day and a weeklong trip to visit my wife's family, we'll hit the ground running.
September is going to be an action-packed month. Stay Tuned!

What Could Possibly Happen Next?
Just when I was getting ready to make the Big Announcement, I got a call that made me put on the brakes. In the eleventh hour, interference from a third party. After all these hours of crunching numbers, dealing with bankers and lawyers and perfecting the art of negotiating....SCREECH!
So what's my next move. I wait.
Regardless of the outcome, this has been a rewarding experience, but I will be disappointed if this deal does not come together.
What couid possibly happen next?

Banana Jack Is Back On The Air...Or Is He?
Yesterday, I put on a pair of headphones and fired up a microphone for the first time since April 17th. For the next few weeks, I'll be hosting the morning radio show on WLSC 1240 AM in Loris, SC. I'm basically just keeping the seat warm and I'm only on the air from 8:00 until 10:00 AM.
How about this? I'm not even getting paid. I'm doing this simply to help out the radio station. (Maybe I do have too much time on my hands.) Believe it or not, this is all part of The Big Idea!

I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up
July 24, 2007 will be a day that I'll never forget. It was on that day that I fell in my house and was unable to move. It was one of the most painful experiences in my life.
For about a week, I'd been feeling some soreness in my right hip, but I didn't really pay much attention to it. I figured I'd take a few over the counter pain remedies, get a little rest and I'd heal on my own. Boy, was I ever wrong.
On the afternoon of July 24th, I took my son to the park. He was on his own when it came to enjoying the sliding board, but he needed my assistance on the swings. I could feel more intense pain as I pushed him, so after a while, I suggested to my son that we should go home.
When I picked him up to put him in his car seat....OUCH! it felt like someone had stabbed me with a very sharp knife. My entire leg was in pain. We got home and I took a hot shower. Bad move.
I got out of the shower and managed to get dressed, but as I walked down the hall to the kitchen, I hit the floor. I was consumed with pain. I couldn't move and my 2 1/2 year old son was scared as he saw his old man lying on the floor screaming in pain.
30 minutes later, I somehow managed to crawl to the bedroom and upon finally managing to get on the bed, I realized that I couldn't reach the phone. For 15 minutes, I tried to get my son to fetch my cell phone which I had left on a countertop in the kitchen.
Finally, he found it and brought it to me. He stayed by my side, despite being scared, while I called for help. I actually was on the phone with my wife and I said, "I've fallen and I can't get up!"
In the end, it turns out I had pinched my sciatic nerve. Ouch! I aggravated my condition when I fell outside my doctor's office the next morning. I fell and bruised my leg just under my knee. Man, that really tingled.
Today, my back and hip seem a lot better, but the nerves in my knee and shin are really acting up. My doctor says there's not much I can do except take it easy and let my body heal.
After being on my back and restricted to bed rest for 9 days, I can honestly tell you that I don't ever want to be in this situation again. I've had to put everything and I mean everything on hold while I've recovered and it's going to be a while before I'm back to 100%.
My advice to you after this experience....Exercise, eat healthy, get plenty of rest and find a good chiropractor.
