How I learned to play my bongo drums

Going all the way back to our very first date, my wife Stacie and I have always quoted movie lines to each other. Its become a regular part of our normal communication. One of us will say "Why did I do such and such" and the other will reply "Because you're an idiot.", a line from the movie Heathers. We've got a million of 'em.

So when I came to North Carolina for yet another radio gig, my wife and son stayed in New Mexico to finish up a few things before joining me. One afternoon in December, I went down to the beach and took some pictures. I sent them to Stacie and Anthony back in New Mexico. What I didn't know was that while I was playing on the beach, Stacie had been shoveling snow out of our long steep driveway all afternoon. So it came as no surprise when she quoted the movie That Thing You Do.

Ever since, "bang on your bongo drums" has been our slang for any radio job.
