March issue cover
C'mon! Tell us what you think of our March cover! We spent lots of time discussing whether or not readers would appreciate the drastic departure from our norm, and finally decided the topic (our county's traffic woes due to congestion) merited a dramatic image.
East Parker County Chamber awards
We were thrilled to have two of our TODAY family nominated for awards at the 2008 EPC Chamber's annual event! Our fearless CEO, Steve Markwardt, was nominated for the "Pappy" Thompson Public Service Award; regional account executive Carol Hare was up for Woman of the Year. Congratulations to both of them for the honor--and for making us proud.

Radio Show Recap: 3/5/08
Good morning everybody! It's me again, The Great Quizmo, recapping this morning's radio show to all of Parker County (and to other parts of the world that know about this blog, too).
On today's show, we had guest Jon Kinder, environmental scientist from Dunaway and Associates. I know what you're thinking: "Environmental scientist?!? He sounds smart!" Well you're right, he is.
We talked about the ever so popular subject of living green and the benefits of doing so. To reward those of you who enjoyed today's show, here is a video of Former Vice President Al Gore doing his part to live environmentally friendly. The rest of the recap is after the jump.
Today we discussed green roofs, Jon's specialty. The concept of a green roof is cultivating plants on the roof in order to cool down the building, resulting in lower energy bills. This not only saves the environment, but it also makes your roof look more attractive.
Jon also explained the importance of living green, and supplied us with many examples of how to do so. For one, turning off the water while brushing your teeth is a very simple remedy. Turning off lights that you are not using is another way to save energy, and again, decrease your energy bill.
We ended the show with my favorite segment, "Quizmo's Questions." Today's quiz was fill-in-the-blank, with each question containing the word green. And here are the questions:
1) "Bein' Green," the hit single to never make it anywhere on the charts was performed by (blank). — Kermit the Frog
2) Anthony Edwards, who played Dr. Green on ER, also played (blank) in Top Gun. — Goose
3) Gangrene is a compilation of necrosis characterized by the decay of (blank). — Body tissues
4) The sexiest man to ever roam God's Green Earth is (blank). — Tom Brady
5) The color green is the perception evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly (blank) nanometers. — 520-570
Thanks again for listening, and we'll see you next week.
