Thyme. It was Wednesday, but
I decided to start the weekend
early. I needed a respite. One
of my elixirs for fatigue is mean-
dering. At 11:59, I went for my
morning walk. (Morning goes
all the way til noon.)
As I sauntered, I would reflect
and prioritize the invincible list
waiting for me at home. Tidy
both wings.
It was such a resplendent day, I
wanted to twirl. It's a girl thing.
So I did. Made my heart happy.
(How many calories does one
twirl burn?)
I felt summer in the distance
and I started to "mist." South-
era ladies don't sweat.
Back home, I needed a refresh-
ing beverage. I couldn't have
Dr. Pepper, because it wasn't
I gathered some sprigs. Made
my hands happy.
With the thyme available, I
decided to make a treat to go
with a bowl of fresh strawber-
ries.

The owboy Show with Ken Overcast
to air on KUSH Radio
The Cowboy Show, hosted
by Will Rogers Award win-
ning 9~StErn music artist Ken
Overcast, has recently joined
the programming on KUSH
Radio and can is featured every
Sunday at 4 p.m. The Cowboy
Show is a nationally syndicated
radio program that features cur-
rently produced cowboy music
and includes occasional inter-
views from the artists, as well
as from real old time cowboys
and storytelling outtakes from
Overcast and his peers.
"It's an honor to be a part of
KUSH," says Overcast. "Our
roots in the West go back sev-
eral generations, and nothing
is more important to me than
preserving our way of life.
My real passion is entertaining
the people who enjoy heating
about the Real West and expos-
ing them to authentic western
music they might not otherwise
hear."
KUSH Radio is excited to
include ~'he Cowboy Show
in their programming, and
encourages listeners to tune
in for every show. Ken Over-
cast is a nationally renowned
entertainer and syndicated col-
umnist whose talents include

country.
"The Cowboy Show with Ken
Overcast is a natural fit for
our programming," says Scan
Kelly, program director of
KUSH. "It's a professionally
produced and upbeat show that
accurately depicts the authentic
western lifestyle, and leaves the
audience yearning for more."
When it comes to the real
west, Overcast is the real deal
and loves to share the western
values and way of life by reach-
ing out through his nationally
syndicated radio program, The
Cowboy Show. He's a firm
believer in the old way of iife
that most of us only hear about
in stories from our grandparents
or read about in the occasional
Louis L'amour novel. As a tes-
tament to the show and its accu-
rate depiction of the Real West,
American Cowboy magazine is
a proud national sponsor.

sionally entertained for many
years and has been recording
