It was a crazy day this radio show in a nutshell: I had everything
planned out to do the Valentine's day show.  I was snow surveying
about 50 km north of Waterloo all day, but I was done at 5:00 pm
so I figured I could make it to the station by 5:40 pm, however
about half way to Waterloo the Civil Engineering van kept going 
slower and slower and eventually stopped and wouldn't go no 
more.  I decide to ditch the van and hitch hike (something 
I've never done before), after about 15 cars passed by a van stops
from the University of Waterlo Earch Science department.  It turns
out to be the Waterloo Alpine Ski team coming back from a meet.
They start driving me home and at 6:00 I tell them to turn on the 
radio because I was supposed to be on, we hear Michelle start
the show (which she has never done before) and the driver says 
"Man, we have to get you to that radio station".  So not only do
they drive me to the University they bring me right to the station,
I also made the observation that with the 9 people in the van
listening it was the most people to ever hear the show and I 
wasn't even on it.  Overall, I was very very lucky.

Well both Michelle and I were too wired to really care about the
show after that so we did our best to finish the show with the
Valentine's day theme.  To add to the confusion we got about 6 or
7 phone calls during the show, many more than usual.

I'm going to try and concentrate on music from the new release
section of library this week because I feel that I have been
looking in the past too much these last few shows.  However I 
am trying to put together any songs related to February 29
(leap day), any ideas?

I also am ready to start shipping the Best of 1999 CD, so if you
are outside of K-W and I don't have your address please send
it along to me.

(This is way off topic, but I have come across this free tax
preparation program called cooltax.  I have used it the last
three years and have been quite impressed by it, you can
