Merry Christmas!
A parent did not enjoy hearing Christmas music while on hold, and was so offended that he/she called the district office to complain and insist that we stop playing the Christmas music. It still amazes me that some people get offended at hearing that they have hope of everlasting life in Heaven, through God’s son Jesus Christ! Just doesn’t seem like the type of thing that one wouldn’t want to hear about. Well, there’s a little less Christmas cheer in Yucaipa, California this year.
With that being said, I personally wish you a Merry Christmas!

Props go out to the 12-time world champion Green Bay Packers on winning the NFC Central division title today, by beating up all over the stinking Raiduhs (Raiders)! Start printing those playoff tickets, and bring on the Cowboys for a rematch!
As a voice-actor, ballroom dancing was something totally foreign to me until about two years ago, when my wife finally convinced me to go to Arthur Murray’s dance studio in Redlands. The fact that we were hooked on watching the Dancing With The Stars show on television helped seal the deal. We have been having a lot of fun learning and practicing the Waltz, Foxtrot, Swing, and Rumba. This past weekend my wife and I were able to do all of these dances on one of the largest dance floors that I have ever seen, at the Arthur Murray Christmas Ball, which was held at the Hyatt hotel’s ballroom in Irvine California! Arthur Murray studios from all over Southern California participated in this event. What a blast it is to get all dressed up, go to the ball, dance around the dance floor in the grand ballroom, eat good food, all to the sound of a great live band playing Christmas music!!
Where the voice-over part of me comes in, is that I have been podcasting about Dancing With The Stars, as well as the tv show LOST and the Green Bay Packers, for over two years now. And now I can talk more about the Christmas Ball on the next episode of my Tuning In With Wayne Henderson podcast (available in iTunes and at www.whpodcast.com).
Yes, Garth Brooks is doing a special fundraiser concert for California fire victims and firefighters and sold all tickets for $38.50 (with ALL profits going to the charities). As usual, however, ticket scalpers and greed are ruining the concert industry. Wow, the show sold out in three minutes? Wow, almost every ticket seems to now be for sale on eBay, and with other scalpers, for hundreds of dollars (or more). I can assure you that almost none of the sellers are forwarding all of their profits (made from ripping off the Garth Brooks fans) will be going to the charities, just into these scalpers’ pockets. How can we stop this? I think Garth should cancel, and reschedule just to cause hassle to the scalpers.
