1. Are Bob and his wife no longer together? They separated last summer, I'm sad to report. It would be inappropriate for me to comment, but I will say that they are both wonderful people who are handling an incredibly difficult situation with real grace. Many of you have sent Bob kind and encouraging notes. You can't imagine how important that support has been to him. On his behalf, thank you so much.
2. How about Todd -- is he divorced? Yes.
3. When are you going to update sheri.column? I love writing that column. I wish I could cough up a new one every week. I used to write while my daughters napped. Unfortunately, they no longer nap. In fact, they hardly sleep at all. (I blame their father for this, since I never met a nap I couldn't take.) They prowl around the house all hours of the day and night like a pair of hopped-up vampires. Caramia ransacks drawers and closets while Olivia says terrifying things like, "I used Daddy's sharp blue scissors to cut the scratchy part out of my shirt all by myself." At this point, we're more like their hostages than their parents. Time to write? I'm afraid to turn my back long enough to go to the bathroom.
4. Why isn't your show available on XM or Sirius satellite radio? In a nutshell, our contracts with terrestrial broadcasters prohibit it at this time.
5. I try to listen online, but keep getting a message that says it's full. What's up with that? It's a budget issue. We pay a fee for every user who streams -- kind of like paying a caterer for every guest at a party. I've been all over this building begging for an increase. You can see how successful that approach has been. People think we're joking when we talk about what a low-rent operation we've got here. We're not kidding. It's lean and mean. We really did shoot the cover of our last cd at Sears. And not because we were aiming for some kind of low-budget indie cred, either. Now, I have been promised an increase in streaming soon. It's possible that was just a lie to get rid of me for a while, so who knows?
6. Is Lamar white? I totally thought he was black! Lamar is white. Feel free to express your amazement to the man himself: musthavetv@aol.com.
7. What was the name of that movie you talked about where people could choose one moment of perfect happiness to spend all eternity in? It's a Japanese film called After Life. It's subtitled, but please don't let that put you off. It's beautiful and life affirming. This movie will absolutely haunt you, but in the very best way. The only place we've been able to find it is www.amazon.com.
8. What's the web address for that handbag site? I thought it was doodlebags or beeblebags, but neither of those is correct. It's www.deedlebags.com. LOVE this site. When I open some random magazine and learn that so-and-so celebrity is carrying a $5000 purse, I gag. Excuse me, but that's borderline obscene, isn't it? I'm all about capitalism and by God, spend your money any way you please, but these multi-thousand dollar status bags just seem stupid. Let's see, should I buy a used car or a Balenciaga motorcycle bag? Hmmm. With deedlebags, you get great bags at prices that are ridiculously low. I've got the Caramia -- named after my little girl. Awww. It's as adorable and cool as she is. Just thinking about it makes me all verklempt.
9. Is your show ever coming back to (pick one or write in your own): Cincinnati/Greensboro/Merced/Williamsport/Jacksonville et al? I don't know. The radio business is mystifying. Not as mystifying as publishing, of course. Nothing in the universe is that mysterious. I can do a passable job of explaining a black hole, but make sense of the standard book contract? No can do. Thanks to consolidation and a few other factors, there just aren't that many radio stations left in America that haven't been vacuumed up by one of a handful of giant media conglomerates. Since we aren't part of one of those giants, we don't have access to their properties. That's a very simple explanation, but there's truly not much more to it than that. Some of the stations we've been on have been sold. Others have changed formats. Some have fallen into the clutches of Satan. Whatever the reason for a cancellation, we don't have any real control over our destiny. All we can do is show up here every morning, grateful to have our jobs. Then we take whatever beating they dish out.
10. What happened with that guy who brought his engagement ring to the studio and asked you guys to sell it for charity? That ring! It is so gorgeous! Holding it in my hand, I had a complete Gollum moment: My precious. Stay with me forever, Precious. Tempted as I was, I gave the ring to our boss, Rick. He hocked it to buy new golf clubs. Just kidding - he locked it in his safe, where it will stay for 90 days. We want to give that guy a chance to change his mind and reclaim his ring. If he doesn't come back, we'll figure out the best way to honor his wishes and the ring will go to charity.

That's it for now. Let me know if I missed one. Thanks for reading - see you tomorrow!
