Good morning and
welcome to Morning Serial.
Okay good morning and
welcome to Thursday.
As you recall we're out shooting on
location right now so
Morning Serial this weekend next
is a little bit truncated, a little bit
shorter episodes for you
but we're still going to
give you the good stuff.
So let's jump right on into it.
Today is stay out of the Sunday.
So if you're looking for that perfect
golden tan head on into
the tanning salon like it's
1990 and you're signing up
for that tin tan package.
Do they still do that?
I still think I have a pair of those
eyeglasses they gave you.
Well it's also National Chocolate Wafer
Day which I'm a huge fan
of that and I hope you're
ready because today is
Independence Day Eve.
So make sure your cooler is getting
packed, you got the ice
and you got the firecrackers
bought you better run out to those
roadside stands because
they're almost sold out.
Well let's move on to our quote and who
better to give us a
quote today than birthday boy
Tom Cruise who said
quote "I love what I do.
I take great pride in what I do and I
can't do something halfway.
Three quarters nine tenths if I'm going
to do something I go
all the way" end quote.
And it's a powerful reminder that true
passion means going all in.
Every time no matter how big
or small the task might be.
Well today's news facts and birthdays are
for July 3rd and
we're going to start back
in 1889 when the first Sherlock Holmes
story was published.
Then in 1969 on this date the Monty
Python's Flying Circus

Well happy birthday if
today is your birthday.
You share a birthday with soccer star and
goal scoring machine

Then the number one song on this date in
1996 was Because You
Loved Me by Celine Dion.
One of my favorites as you know well the

nomination for Song of the Year.
Now the song was written by Diane Warren
as a tribute to her
father who supported her
