This is insane. I yell- “No dogs on the couch- no dogs in your Rooms!” My kids don’t listen. Every night I walk by, and see the dogs on their beds! I give UP. So this morning, 7am, I hear my eldest talking to one of the dogs, “BAD DOG! What is WRONG with you? You are REALLY a BAD DOG!” …
Two strange things happened today. Turtle and Daily News write up!
First- and Foremost- I had to stop my car, to let a TURTLE pass in front! No? I don’t mean a ‘slow person,’ … I mean a REAL TURTLE. That was a bit bewildering to me, I must admit! First time for everything!
Second- David Hinckley of the Daily News was kind enough to do a write up on me. It was a beautifully written article that talked about my career, and the book that my son and I have just recently put together. We give over half the profits to Make a Wish, and it’s a book about radio personalities worst on air moments! True stories from 155 jocks around the world!
It wasn’t the article that was ‘strange’… it was the fact that my 21 year old daughter, wrote me to tell me she was PROUD of me! This is the same child that hated my GUTS for most of her adolescence! Sometimes we feel like we live in our own little ‘soap operas,’ don’t we?
I want to thank David, …little did he know that he’d not only bring me closer to his readers, but also closer to my daughter. I love when that stuff happens!
If you’d like to buy the book, it’s on my site. It’s really a fun read! The pictures that my son, Dylan (Varsity Keeper but artist!) drew are outrageously graphic at times- but it’s because he takes after Me. Makes a great gift, and you’re helping a wonderful charity! www.robinmarshallvo.com/book.html
Why did the turtle cross the road…? From what I saw today? It PRAYED that it got to the other side!

They Laughed at me – in the Gas Station when I asked How to Change My Oil!
All I did, was get OUT of my car…walk INTO the convenience store part, and ASK, “Excuse me? Are there ANY FULL SERVICE gas stations in this area?”
Dead Silence- and then she said, “Where y’all from?” Here’s where I did the most STUPID thing of all- I said, “New York?” …
We try and Train our DOGS, but WHO REALLY gets trained?
…but what’s REALLY scary is when we realize it was US, that was out of control all along, and not the DOG! …
More things I’ve learned while moving to the South
1. You can shave your legs with shampoo! We had no soap for the first 3 days.
2. Shaving your legs in a shower stall is like being a contortionist!
3. When buying towels, cheaper is not always better. They may feel soft, but when drying yourself with that soft towel, it might be spreading the water around your body instead of aborbing that water!
4. Kids need to learn that two things happen when you come out of a shower or pool: 1. They are wet. 2. They are clean! 3. They only need ONE TOWEL per DAY!
5. If you hear birds squealing when your dog is near by, it’s normally the Dog’s Fault!
6. Don’t bring the dogs.
7. If you buy something at KMart– make sure it’s in the car, before you leave the store. I can’t find the wine glasses, which has forced me to drink from the bottle.
8. Before you throw out your TV, because the picture SUCKS- ask a kid to check it out. They can FIX things.
9. Become friends with the engineer at the radio station! Pay him WELL. 🙂
10. Ants bite.
11. Wasps drink water from your pool! They actually float on the water here??? Wasps are our friends!
12. BATS fly over your head here? Bats are NOT my friends.
13. Your parents will call you a million times, no matter how old we get. If we miss the call, and try and call them back- we will get a busy signal. WHO, besides our parents, has a BUSY signal??
