Happy Monday!

Welcome to a new week!  Hopefully you didn’t lose your shirt in the roller coaster ride that was the stock market last week, but in honor of that… we’re giving away our very first, very cool Nike golf shirt today with DickPurtan.com and a small caricature of yours truly on the front! 

Everyone in our e-mail club is already entered to win!  And since you received this e-mail you’re eligible! A name will be picked at random and the winner will be announced on the DickPurtan.com homepage tomorrow.

And don’t forget to listen to my latest Podcast which is up right now… with a rather suprise ending involving my daughter Jill!  Just click on Purtan Podcast #4 

Have a great day and look for our winner… plus my take on all the latest headlines… Tuesday @ DickPurtan.com!

From Birthdays to Woodpeckers... It's All In Our 2nd Podcast!

Hey… it’s Friday — Podcast Day! This week we talk about everything from a Purtan family birthday party to my run-in with a woodpecker!  Plus my pick for the “Story Of The Week” (not counting that pesky debt crisis stuff!). You can hear it now @ DickPurtan.com or directly download it.

And don’t forget, the deadline for nominating your favorite local charity to win big bucks in the Suburban Collection’s “Great Charity Giveaway” is Tuesday, August 2nd.  There’s a total of $25,000 up for grabs! Just click on one of the Suburban Collection ads on my webpage for details.   

Have a great weekend and I’ll see you back at DickPurtan.com on Monday!

Happy Monday!

Welcome to a new week!  Yesterday was a bit of a bummer with the US Women’s Soccer Team’s loss to Japan in the World Cup, but it was a great game!  I find I’m actually getting into soccer a little bit more. (Kids love to play it - and I like to eat the orange slices and drink the juice boxes when they’re not looking.)  

It’s only Monday, and already I think we have the story of the week.  It involves a Russian would-be-robber and a female hairdresser.  I think you’ll agree, she’s quite a girl!  

Have a great day!

Happy July 11th!

Happy July 11th!  Now if that date sounds familiar to you, it may just be that because for years I drilled it into your heads on the radio!  Yes… It’s my Birthday!  

While most people would be too embarrassed or humble to mention their “special day” to the public year after year… I’m apparently not “most people”.  

Some might say that I mentioned my birthday, today, July 11th, year after year, and indeed am doing so again right now, for the purpose of encouraging people to send me gifts.  

I’m here to tell you that it is entirely true! But it’s never really worked! Not counting the years Geoffrey Fieger sent me an autographed picture of himself, and the time I got a great Birthday Deal on an leather recliner at Art Van… Turns out they were just having a regular 12 hour sale.  

Remember to check out my take on today’s headlines and more, every Monday through Friday @ http://www.dickpurtan.com/ and follow me on facebook. Today we talk about the one Hollywood Star the Betty Ford Clinic couldn’t help; the things you shouldn’t wear on your first “summertime date”; and believe it or not the ‘80’s series “Dallas” is coming back to TV with the original cast!  

And Happy Birthday to all you July babies out there! October must have been a busy month! (If you know what I mean!) 

Have a great day.  I’m off to eat cake.  

-Dick
