There's a lot of benefits to playing sports..” He says it kept him busy after school. He wasn't out there doing something I shouldn't have been doing."

Oxford 1/23/2024

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS OXFORD!!

Oxford is a beautiful long haired 3 year old black cat.  Oxford, is a remarkably sweet and cuddly cat with a story of resilience. Oxford found himself abandoned at an apartment, left to navigate the uncertainty alone when his previous owner departed. Initially discovered hiding under a sink, Oxford was understandably shy, but his gentle nature and affectionate spirit shone through.

The List for Monday, January 22nd 2024

Welcome to The List,

How about a shot of “Traveler Whiskey” It’s the latest endeavor by Chris Stapleton!  He’s teamed up with Buffalo Trace to create the concoction…It’s a little confusing for some because he said in a "GQ" article that he was "all but sober".  But to clarify.. He adds, that, "he got in a drinking contest with himself in his 20s and lost."  But now that he has kids a lot has changed, including his drinking habits.

-----

There is NO place like home…that’s the lesson  we learned in “The Wizard of Oz”…some CAN take that a little literal…like the man who stole the actual ruby slippers. a career criminal named Terry Martin.  He lifted the shoes from the Judy Garland Museum in 2005.  But NOT because he knew anything about their cultural significance. Terry had never even seen the movie, he thought they had real RUBIES…They don’t…Terry will be sentenced next week…

-----

Dolly Parton released a deluxe digital version of her album "Rockstar" with extra tracks including Pat Benatar's "Hit Me with Your Best Shot".  Meanwhile, Elle King ruined a Dolly celebration at the Grand Ole Opry by showing up and performing drunk…

-----

Alec Baldwin once again finds himself indicted on an involuntary manslaughter charge following a new investigation into the fatal shooting on the set of his movie "Rust".
