During those months when we take the long drive to the in-laws in Maine without the benefit of the Red Sox Radio Network, we've found a new on-air friend who gets us to where we're going with music, musings, and information that will improve our lives.

His name is John Tesh.

As noted by Cooch a few days ago, John Tesh has his own radio program (to which I can't bring myself to link, though it's easy to find via Google). Not sure when we first came across it, but it seems like most drives involve at least a few minutes listening to this cross between Prevention magazine and soft/light rock radio.

We don't exactly like the show, but the music is generally agreeable for a longish drive. The "intelligence for your life" is at least amusing, as witnessed by a discussion prompted by a list of the acceptible places to touch co-workers. Let's just say I could never engage in as much ass-pinching at my job as the wife does at hers.

It's exacly the sort of show you'd expect from John Tesh, which I guess is why we're not as horrified by it as we could be. At least he doesn't play any of his own music.
