Have you made your 2009 New Years Resolution yet? A quick Google search shows a lot of people have already started announcing their plans. To date there are 15,300,000 matches for 2009 New Years Resolution.

So what are your New Years Resolution? You should think like Charles Schultz:

One time Charles Schultz addressed the need for his readers to make the most of the current moment. He illustrated this with his cartoon characters in Peanuts. Charlie Brown was at bat. “Strike three,” the umpire bellowed. Once again Charlie Brown had struck out and so he slumped down on the player’s bench. “Rat’s” he said, “I’ll never be a big league player. I just don’t have it! All my life I’ve dreamed of playing in the big leagues, but I know I’ll never make it.” Meanwhile Lucy turned to console him. “Charlie Brown,” she said, “you are thinking too far ahead. What you need to do is set yourself on more immediate goals.” Charlie Brown looked up and replied, “What do you mean by immediate goals?” Lucy said, “You can start in the very next inning.” Charlie Brown was still confused and looked up at Lucy, waiting for her to explain. Lucy then said, “See if you can walk to the mound without falling down.”

Yes its good to have both long term goals and short term goals.

Another good inspiration is Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert. He has a story about how affirmations was the root of his success. You can download a PDF of his Affirmation story.

Whatever your plans for 2009, think Faster, Better and Cheaper....

Happy Veterans Day 2008! Take a movement now to reflect all that we have thanks to the Veterans.

This year we remember those that served in Operation Golden Pheasant, a military action need against Honduras that happen 20 years ago.

New England isn't the only place to enjoy the Fall Foliage. September is a great time to visit Yosemite Valley! You’ll see lots of great color and the weather is cool enough to enjoy some of the hiking trails.

The only downside of going to Yosemite this time of year is the waterfalls aren’t that strong. The best time to see the waterfalls is in the early part of the spring season. A great Easter Weekend trip to Yosemite wouldn’t be a bad idea.

If your looking for a good hotel to stay at, I would highly recommend staying at the National Hotel in historic Jamestown, CA. A great Hotel and a nice little downtown to browse around.

While Yosemite is nice, really the place to be is in Vermont. The rolling hills and beautiful countryside make it a perfect trip. The good news is that if you can’t find a decent hotel room, you could always stay in near-by New Hampshire and enjoy a day trip driving around Vermont. Don’t forget to stop at the Vermont Country Store, a great way to make it a memorable trip.

On April 1, 1991, Z100 did a couple of pranks to their listeners:

• All fines paid to the City of Virgina Beach were half off.
• Elis was at a fictional intersection, the intersection of Connie Lane and Virgina Beach Blvd.

The recording of the event was pretty funny, its amazing how people will go all out just to find a fictional intersection. I guess the real lesson is to think twice on April first.

You can find the tape recording of the event on the Z100 Morning Zoo 5th edition CD or Tape in most used record stores.

Anyone still looking for the $1,000 on the corner of Connie Lane and Virgina Beach Blvd?

In September 1999, KRON featured the "Internet Phone" story. This is mystery phone that is located in the middle of the desert for no reason.

Watch the Quicktime broadcast of this strange phone and call the number today to see who picks up the phone. You never know who will be on the other line.

KRON TV is now an independent TV station in San Francisco and the station is currently up for sale. KRON used to be an NBC affiliate until 2002 when it opt to go independent.
