Packing a Lunch That Energizes Your Child

Even though Kentucky was recently in the news about how the school lunch has improved overall – children and their parents are still going to complain about the menus offered. If you are one of the many parents who are not impressed with the school lunch program – then pack a lunch for your children. My sons rarely ate school lunch. In fact, I packed their lunches each day. Typically, they told me what they wanted to eat and I was happy to pack their lunch to ensure they were getting an adequate lunch. They generally purchased their milk at school.

Take The Heat

I did it again today.  I went on the air and read stories warning people "If you don't have to go outside, stay inside.  It's dangerously hot." Then I went outside and noticed people going about their lives as usual: mowing, roofing and even running.    But it's 94 degrees outside, with a heat index of 102.   Are they crazy? Aren't they listening to news teams warning of the dangers out there? After all, no one in the Louisville media would ever unnecessarily try to scare people when it comes to the weather.    After several days in a row went by hitting a heat index over 100.. I noticed no one had died and local hospitals saw little or no increase in heat related health problems.  Joggers kept jogging.  Cyclists kept cycling.
