As you’re probably aware, I have three children. Candis and Curtis, who are both still Canadians, live in California.
Camera, who lives with me in Florida while pursuing her master’s in psychology, was born here in Florida.

The weird thing is, Cami is the only one of my kids who is into Hockey and loves the Florida Panthers.
She watches most of the games on TV but also goes to a bunch of them, and whenever the Winnipeg Jets come to town, I go with her.

Recently, she came to me and excitedly said, “Daddy Sam Reinhart is going to be at the Wellington Mall signing stuff, so I’m gonna get him to sign my jersey.” (Sam currently is the second-highest scorer in the NHL)
Knowing that Sam was born in Vancouver, I said, “Don’t forget to tell him that your Dad was born in Winnipeg and is well aware of Beautiful British Columbia, having owned a home near Kelowna. It may buy you some extra time.”

When she returned home and proudly showed me her signed jersey, I asked her how he reacted when you told him about your dad.
She said, “Daddy, I was so nervous that when it became my turn to talk to him and to get him to sign my jersey, I froze and didn’t say a thing.”

(On top is a photo of Cami in one of her many Panthers outfits, me in my Jets jersey, and grandson Nathaniel wearing my unsigned Sam jersey at a recent Panther Jets game. Below is a photo of Cami’s signed Sam Reinhart jersey hanging on the wall in her bedroom.)

@WendyHolmes: Smart women marry dumb guys and vice versa because they’re dumb! It isn’t rocket science, Geo!! I had a good chuckle when I read this one-liner! (3/18/24)
Geo: Being dumb is a choice, Wendy.

@BruceWalker: I’d be willing to bet that Katherine was right on the money, not only with any other guy at Swamp Grass Willey’s. What a burden to be carried around. (Yeah, I would)
Geo: Kinda like having records out and fighting off the groupies, huh, Bruce? 🙂

@BruceMunson: “Why, when you’re freaking out, do people ask you if you would like some water?”For reasons unknown, I haven’t experienced this…but hope springs eternal! Geo’s Daily Life-Liners)
Geo: You live a sheltered life. Bruce, I envy you.

I began compiling my bucket list long before there was such a thing. However, only three things were on it: my living in California, cutting a record, and vacationing in Hawaii.

Eventually, I realized them all when I released my first record in 1965, vacationed in Hawaii in 1974, and moved to California in 1981.
Moving to San Diego was a dream come true, and the best part was celebrating my fortieth birthday with a bunch of friends in the Polo Lounge at the Beverley Hills Hotel. Hey, it don’t get much more California than that.

Since then, I’ve added and completed a ton of bucket list items, such as riding the Orient Express, running a marathon, traveling all over the world, skiing at the best Mountains in North America, and traveling by train all over the US and Canada.

Surprisingly, my biggest and best events weren’t even on my bucket list.
The births of my Daughter Candis, my Son Curtis, my Daughter Camera, and my Grandson Nathaniel. Color me a very lucky man.
(On top, Candis and me, next, Curtis and me, and then Nathaniel, me, and Cami.)

@NickAlexander: The thing that Trump doesn’t get is that they hate him more than his policies. Yep!!!!!!! (3/19/24)
Geo: Even though most of the press Trump gets is usually bad, all he cares about is that they spell his name right, and they do.

@CatSimon: Geo, I’m enjoying the daily one-liners. Hope you never stop. (3/19/24.)
Geo: Thanks, Cat; there’s no end in sight so far.

@ChuckKnapp: Great job, Reg. Radio was Facebook before FB.  Live and local. We were in the right place at the right time and made millions for owners who understood radio’s strength. Men like the ones you highlighted in the video knew how all the pieces fit together. (Geo’s Daily Liners)
Geo: Chuck, I remember the day Reg told me that his favorite jock was Chuck Knapp, who was on WLS. I said, “You know him; he was at our cabin on Gull Lake, along with Daryl ‘B’ and Chuck Riley, trying to water ski.” Reg exclaimed, “That’s the same guy?”.

@JamesDuval: The arrogance of the French, as late as the DE Gaulle era while Algeria was still a French colony, has come back to haunt them. If the French had simply allowed the Algerian people to become an independent country with French support and alliances, I do not know if the migration of Arabians would have been as strong as it is today; however, because of birth rate demographics, all of Europe is experiencing an influx of Arab and African people. (2/26/24)
Geo: Yep, Jed, sometimes imagining us all living together in perfect harmony is just a pipe dream.

The best persuaders tell​ very persuasive stories.

So, what will you do when you discover you already have enough?

​Hey, media, so far, skeletons are either male or female, and a lotta folks ain’t black or white.

​My problem with places that sell cheap beer is that they usually lack a decent wine list, ambiance, or a pretty clientele.

Why do the bad people make more money than the good folks?

So, who’s more powerful, the Mayor, the Godfather, or the Cardinal?

Obligation is a prison which is almost impossible to escape from.

Speaking of the impossible, living a life with no regrets is not only boring but it’s also not possible.

I have no idea how to fill out all those forms the government gives you before they will give you financial aid. However, it sure hasn’t slowed down those freeloaders.

Humans have always been time travelers; we’ve always had the ability to see the past while visualizing the future.

Many of us dreamed of living in California while growing up. I wonder if that’s still true today.

Why did they tear down the signs that read, “Looters will be shot?” They seemed to be working rather well.

Have you ever noticed that bad things only happen at night during a rainstorm in the movies?

I wonder if Don Henely would have tolerated John, Sir Paul, George, and Sir Ringo?

During the Cold War, we at least knew who our enemies were.
