Ben is working on getting into the Radio broadcasting course eventually at the tech school. He’ll have to upgrade some, so in the meantime, he’ll continue with his carpentry apprenticeship (he goes in January), and in September, we’ve got him registered in a couple of Radio related courses. He also volunteers as an intern, out doing promotions for a radio station in Edmonton.

This station has a guest DJ every week, and Ben is on the air for an hour on Thursday. He taped it last week. He said it was the best 20 minutes of his life! (no wonder Jess went home) So all week, they are running the promo for his segment. He just phoned me, and told me it was going to air at 3:45, so I endured 3 horrid songs, and finally it came on. It went like this:

Ben: Hey! My name is Ben ********, and I’m going to be on *******
Ben: I’m deathly afraid of air hockey! Because I’m so tall, my crotch is just the right height, for all the pucks that come flying over!
DJ: Hey Ben! Are you going to be talking about your crotch all night??
Ben: I sure hope not! I hadn’t planned on talking about my crotch at all!
DJ: Glad to hear it!

This is truly my proudest moment as a mother. Pfffffftttt
