What's In A Name?
also known as
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE?!?
You know you’re one-of-the-kind. But what about your name? Have you ever wondered just how common your name is and what it says about you? Well, I hadn’t until I received a curious email from Brisbane, Australia. Tim Bergh, the producer of top Breakfast Radio Show 97.3fm. He politely introduced himself and explained that one of their main hosts was a lady named Robin Bailey. He went on to ask if I’d be interested in chatting with RobinBaileyAU to see how similar we were due to sharing a name. *FUN!

THE 4-LETTER YEAR
Roller coasters are fun. All the tight turns, steep slopes, sudden drops, and sometimes being turned upside down. We PAY to get on them, get locked in, and throw our hands in the air like we don’t care. The world record-breaking “Steel Vengeance” just debuted at Cedar Point Amusement Park (Erie County, OH) in May 2018 as the world’s tallest and fastest hybrid coaster with the steepest drop (90 degrees), longest drop (200 feet), most inversions (four), and most airtime (27.2 seconds) on any hybrid coaster. At 5,740 feet, it’s also th ..read more
