Today is Dream Day

Thanks to Onate football and track coach Kelly McKee for coming in today. We asked him how he got involved with “Look Who’s Dancing” and he said it was pretty much a done deal before he even knew about the show. His wife volunteered him. Here he is doing his thing –

Today is Dream Day, a time to focus attention on dreams for a better world. Today is Nametag Day, a day for every adult to wear a nametag that says, "Hello, I'm ______", with your name written in the blank. Today is Worship of Tools Day.

The 101 number one song of the day came from a group with a long and storied history. But now their longtime lead singer and creative force was gone and they need a whole new direction. They began by writing their own material and added an array of new musical effects, including water drums and synthesizers on their new album. When listened to in sequence, the songs told the story of a country girl named Charlotte who seeks fame and fortune in LA. When her boyfriend follows her there, he becomes the star. The song that was number one on March 11, 1976 is titled with his ironic description of himself after becoming a celebrity…it’s the Miracles with “Love Machine Pt 1.”

The 101 Gold Nugget of Knowledge: A 101-year-old woman in China thinks she has a horn growing out of her head. If it turns out to be true --she'll have a matching pair. Zhang Ruifang of Henan province already has a 2-inch horn on the left side of her forehead. Now, a small lump has appeared on the right side, too. Zhang's family says the horns started out as a small rough patch of skin, then kept growing. She has no money to see a doctor and have them removed. Zhang says, luckily, the horns aren't painful.

Police are trying to unravel the mystery of a 'Midnight Knitter' who keeps covering tree branches and lamp posts with little jumpers. Using the cover of darkness, the culprit has struck repeatedly in West Cape May, New Jersey. Town mayor Pam Kaithern said police were looking into the guerrilla needlework, which technically is against the law because it is being done on public property without permission. But not everyone is anxious to stop the mysterious knitter - and the mayor and many residents admit they have been enthralled by the rainbow of colors. Susan Longacre takes a walk each morning in Wilbraham Park, where several tree branches have been covered in the handiwork of the Midnight Knitter. "I think it's wonderful" she said. But other residents were critical. Mark Lukas, who owns a weekend home in the town, said the knitted tree cozies were interfering with the Victorian charm of the town. "I don't think it's appropriate," he said. "It's a public space and people should not be able to go in and do what they want to do."
