Veteran KZSM Radio Host Mark Moniz (“Metal Mark Live, Thursdays 10 p.m.-midnight) recently shared a post from Bruff Brigham, a well-known heavy metal performer who was a guest on the show: “This was a fun interview for me. Usually the host sends questions in advance, and doesn’t listen to your answers. But you engaged me in conversation that brought out memories I hadn’t thought of in many years. I’ve been interviewed thousands of times, and the most in depth interview I’ve ever done was on your show!”
Dogs have been faithful companions to humans for hundreds of years. Dog owners know their canine companions can be friendly, affectionate and entertaining. Dogs also are quite intelligent and can perform various jobs that help them stay focused and healthy.
I enjoy seeing posts on social media of local runners at races they have run. It made me think about my running days and the races I entered over the years. The posts came from different races in towns and cities throughout the United States. I started to wonder how far a runner would travel to enter a race. It is an easy entry if the race is in San Marcos. This past Saturday the Blue Santa’s 5 Miler and 5K race was held out at the soccer fields. Next Saturday, September 30th, the Kiwanis Pumpkin Dash 5K will be held out at Country Estates. This is a popular race with not a large entry number so the prospect of winning an award is good.
