What’s Hot in CF on WMFE 90.7 FM this weekend is Boeing Boeing at UCF Theatre, Tiger Tail at Theatre Downtown and I can’t think of anything nicer in his heinous heat than an ice cream tasting - there’s one in Deland tonight.   Happy weekend to you!

Since I interviewed him for my book Crazy Little Thing: Why Love & Sex Drive Us Mad,   Dr. Joseph Shrand has been one of my favorite experts to consult for stories and, on a personal basis, just a joy to talk to. He's terrific at explaining concepts, making one feel at ease and saying the kinds of things that seem so simple and true you wonder why someone had to say it to you for you to get it. One of my favorites - and a key to his latest book - is "When was the last time you got angry at someone who you believed was treating you with respect?" Answer: you don't. And in his book Outsmarting Anger: 7 Strategies for Defusing Our Most Dangerous Emotion  he explains why that is, where anger comes from, how it works chemically in the brain and how you can combat it - in yourself and other people - by very simply changing the chemistry of the situation using nothing but your own behavioral strategies. I got to talk to Dr. Shrand about the book and write about it on

This week What's Hot in CF on 90.7 FM this week includes two cabaret performances by the lovely & talented  Andrea Canny to benefit students at Master Class Academy, Lakeridge Winery' s Harvest Festival and Wimter Park Playhouse presents 8 Track: Sounds of the 70's!  (they're having some website trouble as of this writing but you can call them at  407) 645-0145)  Shake your groove thing on down there and listen for the broadcast live at 4:32 pm today or go to the link!

     Sam and I seem to fall ass backards into good luck a lot of times and one of them was happening upon the soft opening of King's Bowl America not long ago. We had a blast at this retro bowling alley so when I found out about the Father's Day packages they've got going this Sunday I could easily recommend it as a fun afternoon / evening out for What's Hot in Central Florida on WMFE 90.7 FM (to listen early Friday afternoon click here). PLUS below, as promised, their bartender Drew making me a beautiful deep purple Fizzy Lifting Drink which tasted as grape-y good as it looked.        Also on the menu this weekend Classic Albums Live presents A Night at the Opera at the Hard Rock Live . You know what a serious Queen fan I am and this show promises a note-for-note performance of one of the most ingenious albums ever made - even the idea is impressive - so between King's and Queens there's a regal CF weekend for you. Cheers!

Come listen on WMFE 90.7 FM for What's Hot in CF this weekend including George the Animal Steele's book signing, BBQ & Blues in Cocoa Beach and free Family Day at the Mennello Museum of American Art. See you out there!       I had a chance to meet and spend some time with George ' The Animal' - aka Jim Myers - when he was in the Tim Burton film Ed Wood . Hopefully he doesn't want to keep this a secret - you couldn't meet a nicer guy. Congratulations on the book, Mr. Myers and here's to a bestseller!
