Hey, this is Dan leave a message after the beep.  Nope, I guess that won't work on here.  I am using some new technology now.  The internets are going to blow up with all my awesome posts.  You are going to have to check here daily for that.  If it's new and happening I will be on top of it for sure.  I have been on  afternoons 3-7pm (listen please!) here at K-Fox 955 here in East Texas since I was born.  I popped out with a microphone.  I have lovely wife Mindy (sorry ladies) and some kids and such.  I can't imagine my life without them.  I would tell you all about my  personal life but you wouldn't want that.   It is a precautionary tale at best and a horror show at  worst.  I have lived in 20 - 30 houses/apartments in the Lufkin/Nac area in my life.  I think that is my personal goal.  One day to have lived on every street in these towns.   Because that is where the people are.  People like you reading my story.   I hope to  see you soon at some local events!  If there is a firework to pop, a hush-puppy to fry, a cheer-leading competition to MC, Easter Egg to hunt, or perchance someone has me out to their business for a Street Cast (please do!) , I will be there.  And I hope you will be as well.  Keep listening, and I will keep talking.

Fight Cancer This Friday At The Angelina County Relay For Life Event

Cancer has always been a battle in my family.  Father died of Pancreatic Cancer almost 15 years ago.  I am getting very close to the age he was when he died. I can't imagine being on this earth for just another ten or 15 years.  He missed the birth of his 5 beautiful grandchildren, my sisters wedding...the list goes on and on.

East Texas Celebrates 150 Year Anniversary Of Cinco De Mayo This Saturday

This is quite the milestone in the Mexican Community.  It's the 150's Anniversary of the Mexican Army's victory over Napoleon's mighty French Army, at the battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862.  Way back then I bet they had no idea that we would celebrate this holiday 150 years later.

The Many Uses Of Beer In East Texas

Okay, so beer has an obvious use.  You open the can and drink it.  But what about the can's themselves?  Coke can's pile up in our house.  I have seen people make airplanes using nothing but aluminum cans
