Goals

Ok, first its now 2:30am cst. Just woke up, congested. I've had some changes in life since my last post.

Health is always a fragile thing. In November, doctors found the blood flow from my legs was very bad. It was causing extreme swelling of my legs and feet, making movement very difficult even just in my house. Everything interacts, that difficulty would make my heart beat faster, effect my blood sugar & my breathing. My legs are now wrapped twice a wk in multiple layers of bandages to force blood flow thru compression. Seems to be working well. After Dec, I should go from bandages to temporary leg blood flow pumps that I will just have to wear twice daily for 20 min.

Once my legs are better, I will resume my walking on a treadmill. I will start my Walk to Disney project. I need to walk 1252 miles to match from my home to the Wilderness Lodge. Why there? Because we have stayed there twice & I love that resort. This is a short term goal. I'm also going to start phone meetings with Overeaters Anonymous for support. This should all help me to lose weight. I will report on my Walk to Disney on my radio show at www.MrFranksWildRide.webs.com

Speaking of, the show is doing great. Gaining more listeners & a wonderful interactive fan base. The show gives me purpose & a creative outlet I so need! It's so much work, but so much fun. I bless each day that I can broadcast and share my Disney Fandom. The show is also now partnered with www.ThankyouWaltDisney.org An organization working to renovate Walt's original Laugh-O-Gram studio in Kansas City MO. This is Mickey Mouse's birthplace, a treasure. I will have an interview with the Chairman of this organization very soon.

My breathing has been complicated by congestion recently. Taking Mucinex, and sleeping sitting up to combat this. Overall, its good and I bless it for it could be much worse.

My long-term goal is in 3 yrs, have significant weight loss, improved breathing and take my family back to WDW for a Magical Gathering with some of my wonderful Disney Family I've obtained thru Twitter and my radio show.

Pls visit www.ReedyCreekRadio.com, www.MrFranksWildride.webs.com and join my family!

Be good to each other,
Frank

Changes

Yes, Life does change fast. My show, Mr Franks Wild Ride, has moved to 9-10am ET and all is well! Listenership is up and I am blessed!



Health had been ok. Had a long week of illness, but am fine now. Really want to start working on my "Walk to Disney" project, but legs still need to heal. I've been talking to a sponsor for OA & that helps. Always good to have support!



So I keep working on projects for my radio show: interviews & now starting the Mr. Franks Parents Panel. Any Disney Mom or Dad is welcome, just need to be willing to be interviewed for my show!



Take Care,

Frank

New Radio Show Time

Hi All,
Boy does life change in a hurry! My radio show, Mr Franks Wild Ride, is now at 8-9 EST Mon-Fri at www.live365.com / Reedy Creek Radio. Works great for me, allows me to play with my daughter when she gets home from school w/Mommy now.

Feeling good today, had a great first show in the morning. The show has been a God-send for me. Allows me to be creative & have a project to continuially work on to improve. People might forget I'm on disability now, there's no income from doing the show. www.Happiestplacetravel.com sponsors the show, but that took care of most of the equipment expense. I still do alot of out of pocket to grow my playlist.

I've got to work on new commercials for the show today & create my "Walk to Disney" project. Going to calculate distance from my home to the Wilderness Lodge & walk it on my treadmill. Will report on it on Fridays on the show.

My daughter lost another tooth this morning. That's 3 for Sept! The Tooth Fairy's working overtime.

Started another Blog www.theDisneyPoet.blogspot.com were I store any Disney poems I create on Twitter.

Take Care,
Frank

Mr. Franks Wild Ride Show

So I'm on my 3rd week of the show. Slowing building a following, its been alot of hard work but very rewarding and fun.

No income though, I'm on disability. The show is now sponsored by Happiest Place Travel.com, which I so blessed to have. It allowed me to vastly improve my broadcasting equipment. Still learning, constantly learning about recording, editing, etc.

Been getting more exercise & my body feels it. This week I've had to see my lung specialist, family doctor & went to hospital for an Echo Cardiogram. Saturday night I go for another sleep study. So tired of the doctors!

The show project keeps me busy & makes me feel useful. I so enjoy bringing smiles to others. That's the major reason I did stand-up comedy for a few years, creating the laughter. Knowing, for just a short period of time, I could help someone else let the stresses of life be lifted.

Need to work on a site for the show. Going to create a Mr. Franks Moms Panel. So many friends on Twitter are deserving of the Disney Panel, but they have only 10 spots to fill. So I want to give others an opportunity & become a resource for my show.

More to come,
Take Care,
Frank

Poem: Disney Soul

I created & published this poem on Twitter:

Thru Main Street, we fulfill fantasy,
At the end our ultimate goal,
For the Castle reaches the zenith,
Of every adult & childs soul.

Mr Franks Wild Ride

So, no longer a dream but reality...my own internet show!

Thank you Nate at Wedway Radio for introducing me to Byron. Byron runs Reedy Creek Radio, a Disney-oriented radio station at www.live365.com. I now have my own live evening show from 7-10EST called Mr Franks Wild Ride Show!

More later, have to get ready to broadcast tonight.

Take Care,
Frank

Pirates of the Carribean 4

Ok, this is just my quirky idea:

POTC 4:"Time's a wastin'".
Through a spell, Jack Sparrow is propelled to 2010,where he finds.....the decendent of Will & Elizabeth Turner is a Corporate pirate trying to take over Disney!

Now that's a movie!
