against the odds

A lot -- and I mean almost everybody -- said "with this economy you'll be lucky to hit that goal". I started to believe it myself. But when you talk to the families, and you talk to the children and families helped by Ocean of Love it really didnt matter. The community rallied around them like nothing I've ever seen before. Thanks to everybody who made my stay on the billboard as comfortable as it could be. Thanks to the listeners who came through with the money for the children. The billboard radiothon is over for this year, but the kids' fight is not. Keep them in your prayers.
Till next year,
Dr. Phil

sunset early in brick

I've learned sunset here on the billboard comes early--when the sun dips behind the billboard it drops 20 degrees up here. We need $400 a minute to hit the goal

This will make you smile:

1. Little girl brings her tweety bird savings bank and gives to Ocean of Love.

2. Family brings over water cooler jug filled with vacation money.

3. Family with 6 children, in their pajamas, bring ziploc bags filled with money they were going to spend on the boardwalk.

4. Little boy brings over lunch money, has free hot dog instead.

5. Mom won scratch off lottery ticket, gives it to her kids. They insist she drive here and they give it to Ocean of Love.

6. Little boy brings his chore money in a ziploc bag

7. Family goes trick or treating for money, not candy. They bring it to billboard radiothon.

If I've forgotten you in this post, I apologize; it's only because there have been so many examples of kids knowing the right thing to do. Cool, right?

get your ticket punched

The karma train is running thru Brick---you give to Ocean of Love and you will be happy in the knowledge you've helped out kids with cancer. Get your ticket punched by giving what you can and no more. Whats better than that? I need all the money I can get before 5p--Ocean of Love needs $105,700 to keep their important work going. If you're extra nice you'll get the upper berth

the barnegit boogie

Here's larry the old piney dancing his "barnegit boogie" here at the billboard. If you ever have laughed at the crazy things Larry says on my show then come down and donate!

frostybird

Feels like 30 below -- Flip our Hawk had frost covering feathers. Suns coming up not a cloud in the sky. Supposed to be 60 today but i've heard that before.

bill gates just got an email from me

Why not? I sent an email to his foundation. He loves to help kids charities out. I wrote him and told him I need about 55G to get me off the billboard. 55 Large to him is a rounding error on his mad money account. I didnt tell him those commercials with Jerry Seinfeld were dumb. Ill let you know if I get an answer.
