It’s a beautiful day to rise and grind.

FAMOUS FORECAST

It’s another rainy day in DC with a chance of some PM thunderstorms. Here’s to hoping there is better weather in Houston.

TUESDAY JAM

Brought to you by Taz Jones of Bryant Row.

Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings create something very special. You might suspect their retro sound to have been recorded back in the 1950’s or 60’s, but luckily for us, this modern troupe is bringing Motown back in a big way. Give them a listen, and don’t be embarrassed when you start to sway in your seat – that’s normal. Here’s “100 Days, 100 Nights,” our Song of the Day.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Today is National Inconvenience Yourself Day, which sounds a little odd, but we’re taking it to mean that you should go out of your way to do something nice for someone else today.

COFFEE QUOTE

Everyday, we take the time to find some wise words that inspire us and we share them with all of you. Occasionally, we ask our “Famous Friends” to do the task for us and share a message that has inspired them. Today’s Coffee Quote is from Texas Congressman, Rep. Will Hurd.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY

On this day in history in 1988, the Supreme Court defended the right to satirize public figures, which is really good news for us.
