Game One of the World Series starts tonight with the wild-card St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers…if you’d like updates from the inside – check out Don Louzader, News Director of my former radio station KTTS. He is, without question, the most die-hard Cardinals fan on the face of the planet with – I kid you not – a copy of every single Cardinals game on DVD or VHS dating back to the mid-1980’s. Seriously.

NOW…here in the Ozarks, I’ll help host an event on Saturday in Springfield called the Justice Jewelers Diamond Dash. Hundreds of couples will be racing through the streets of Springfield, answering text clues with hopes that they’ll have the highest score in a scavenger hunt…that will score one of the couples a $10,000 Diamond Ring from Justice Jewelers. Where were these events before I got married?
