So when was the last time you had a serious make out session? I mean seriously sucking face like a teenager?! And where were your favorite make out spots as a youngster? Many of us native 'Burquenos know that some of the best places are gone, but the memories linger on. On this eve of Valentines Day, it seems appropriate to remember some of those romantic spots where the kissing went on forever. I asked friends and family where some of their…

My day job is one of those that some people find "neat". I get to do a morning show with my wife, and our really good friend on 100.3 The Peak. Usually we touch on "light hearted" stuff, or will spend way too much time discussing the downfall of "Brit Brit Y'all". Some would say we spend way too much time "yapping' and not enough time playing music. Others wonder why we even play music....we should just keep talking. And then there are those who claim we work for the "great Satan"....and…
