Howdy Hi All you Crazy Cats in WIMZ world!!! It’s TK with a very personal message, something I don’t think I’ve actually done before on my Blog Schmog. But I thought if you were paying attention, you had the right to know what’s going on with me. I have decided to step down from my duties as on air personality at WIMZ. One week from today, Friday March 4th, will be my last day/night on air. I have a couple of pretty awesome parents who live in central Florida, and well, as they age and become less able to care for their property and home, it has become increasingly important to me to be there for them. They aren’t sick or disabled at all, just wishing they had help, ya know. It’s rather timely because with the pandemic and lives on the line and an uncertain future ahead, I have been toying with the idea of spending as much time with them, my favorite people, before there is no more time left. That said, I would be remiss if I did not mention how terribly I will miss my time spent with you, the listeners. I have learned so much from each and every one of you, even the ones who don’t call in. I have shared my joys and disappointments, I have shared my sorrow and elation, I have shared all the music and news and daily frivolity I was inspired to share, I have shared myself with you as authentically as I could for the last decade. (not subsequently, but from 2009-2015, then from 2018-2022) And you, in return, have shared your lives and stories with me. It has been a true privilege to be your friend these past years. I remain your friend in my heart, and hopefully in yours as well. I hope you will find some time to tune in my last week, Feb 28th thru March 4th. I welcome your calls and stories and any kind of well-wishes you’d like to bestow. I’m going to try not to get all emotional and stuff, but I can’t guarantee anything.
I’ll leave you with this lyric from a Clint Black song , “No Time to Kill”, and let you think on it. This song was the beginning of the pivotal moment that helped me make this tough decision:
“No time to kill, even I’ve said it, and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain’t standin’ still
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I’ve been in
And quit this work and worry lookin’ back at where I’ve been
If you don’t look ahead nobody will, there’s no time to kill”
With much love and gratitude,
Your TK
