But first, how about a chat with Chris who is looking to move from Library Tech 3 to Library Specialist 1 -- moving from the top of one heap to the bottom of another. Then meet Jeff who loves Kindergarten, and some other young people who don't know what to say when someone says, "My, you've grown." Listen in for Michael's thoughts on when it is time to slap some hands.

:35 - Four Disclaimers and the Whad'Ya Know? Quiz Harry and Bob take their chances at the Whad'Ya Know? Quiz. Having extensive knowledge of Sheryl Crow lyrics, which was a good year for tree rings, and unrelieved stress in g.p. patients, these gentlemen are on their way to being big winners!

:05 - Thanks for the Memos -- The Bright Side of Downsizing

:09 - No, it's not the theme from Woody Woodpecker, it's "Groovin' High" from John and Jeff E.

:13 - Michael finds writers, students, soccer players, and plant breeders filling the audience. Listen in for Jennifer who would cast Michael in a Woody Allen film, Tom who is doing some ornamental carrots on the side, Victoria who has pups in the car, and Cyrus who plans on making money playing soccer.

:28 - Whad'Ya Know? Quiz Joe, a bridge to the 21st century and Marianne who does secretarial work for shekels are the contestants this hour.
