Here is my KOMO AM-1000 afternoon program, on this day 18 years ago. In three days I was out the KOMO door. A mutual parting of the ways. Me and a key management figure, new in the job, were not getting along.
On this KOMO Big Afternoon Broadcast we are talking about: It’s National Bicycle To Work day; Bike racks coming to Metro buses • It’s also Syttende Mai (Norwegian Constitution Day); yes a parade in Ballard • What kind of jelly do most folks use in peanut ’n butter sandwiches. • What is the difference between ‘jam’ and ‘jelly?’ • You gotta hear me sell the “Back Machine” • The captain of the Listen At Work team is a guy I went to Roosevelt High with • Play a Genius version of the Five Seconds Game: In 5 seconds name five Americans who have been to the moon. (in pre internet days it was tough) 12 men have done it.
On the Big Afternoon Broadcast: Lan Archer with news, Ted Potter, in the KOMO Air Patrol and Steve Pool in the KOMO Weather Center.

I had to go the computer to get it. Hmmm
Here is my KOMO AM-1000 afternoon program, on this day 18 years ago. I rather enjoyed listening to this tape. With these old air checks that is not always the case, but this is me at the top of my game. And unfortunately in four days I was out the KOMO door. A mutual parting of the ways. Me and a key management figure, new in the job, were not getting along.
On this KOMO Big Afternoon Broadcast we are talking about: Big traffic problems • I remember our effort to save Pike Place Market • Ted and I discuss the last toll bridge around here. It was on 520 bridge opened in 1963 with a 35 cents toll; bridge across Lake Washington was paid off 21 years early • You gotta hear me sell the “Back Machine” • The captain of the Listen At Work team is a guy I went to Roosevelt High with • Unique and strange fishing bait • All kinds of reasons why I am not participating in Bicycle To Work day (it’s tomorrow, May 17th) • Five seconds game: In 5 seconds name 5 women’s magazine

The Perfect Family stars Kathleen Turner (who is tough to recognize if you haven’t seen her since Body Heat) as suburban mother and devout Catholic who has always kept up appearances. When she’s in the running for Catholic Woman of the Year at her local parish. . . she fears her nonconformist family will derail her chances. Also in the cast: Jason Ritter and Emily Deschanel as her kids. Richard Chamberlain as the local priest. Elizabeth Peña as her daughter’s mother-in-law. And Michael McGrady as the husband (you’d recognize him). I liked The Perfect Family more than I should have . . . because it’s got some smarts I would say it’s a notch or two better than a typical made-for-TV movie. In very limited release, that includes Seattle. Grade: C+ [ RT ] • [ Official Site ]
‘The Perfect Family’ is perfectly satisfying At first, Anne Renton’s “The Perfect Family” seems like a working-class Catholic spin on an episode of “Desperate Housewives.” Eileen Cleary (Kathleen Turner) is a wife, mother and tireless volunteer in her suburban parish — and she’s thrilled to hear that she’s been nominated by her monsignor (Richard Chamberlain in a clerical collar, bringing back long- buried memories of “The Thorn Birds”) for Catholic Woman of the Year. ● More: Movies | The Seattle Times
