NEWS
From Dr Jeff Powers – I visited Phil Becker tonight in McLaren North Hospital in Petoskey, he is in good spirits and recovering from his heart attack from yesterday. He is on the mend and hopes to be back on the island in a few days. He was pleased to see a visitor from the island and anyone in the area should stop in and see him. He is in Room 246 at the hospital. Best wishes Phil!!! Get well soon Phil, WVBI needs you in your chair here.

Storyline
The Theory of Everything is the story of the most brilliant and celebrated physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, and Jane Wilde the arts student he fell in love with whilst studying at Cambridge in the 1960s. Little was expected from Stephen Hawking, a bright but shiftless student of cosmology, given just two years to live following the diagnosis of a fatal illness at 21 years of age. He became galvanized, however, by the love of fellow Cambridge student, Jane Wilde, and he went on to be called the successor to Einstein, as well as a husband and father to their three children. Over the course of their marriage as Stephen’s body collapsed and his academic renown soared, fault lines were exposed that tested the lineaments of their relationship and dramatically altered the course of both of their lives.Written by Spencer Higham

Did you know that a group of owls is called a parliament?
Word of the day: skulduggery (skuhl-DUHG-uh-ree) which means dishonorable proceedings; mean dishonesty or trickery. Skulduggery is an Americanism that arose in the early 1700s. Beyond that, its origin is uncertain, though etymologists suggest that it may be related to the Scots word sculduddery meaning “fornication.”

Outro
To Lucas and all our listeners, and to paraphrase Earl Nightingale, training your mind to become more creative is a game anyone can play at any time, anywhere. You can put new zest and interest into your work, more fun into your days.
