The Daily Dose: Waukee Wellness, U.S. Olympic Wrestling and a LIttle Rain in the Forecast

Good day, Waukee. How'd you sleep? Me, well, I slept like a baby, literally. Per a coversation I had with a friend recently, "sleeping like a baby" should really mean waking up every couple hours and not easily falling back to sleep. I'm exhausted.

Are you as sad as I was to hear that Dick Clark passed away? I fondly remember watching "American Bandstand" as a kid and just loving the music and the performances. It was MTV before we had MTV. New Year's Eve especillay won't be the same without him.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Dr. Wes Nyberg at Waukee Wellness and Chiropractic. What a great group of people they have there! I can see why Waukee Patch readers voted Waukee Wellness and Chiropractic in the area. Read the profile on this great area business.

The this weekend and it's the perfect opportunity to see some high level wrestling. The trials determine which wrestlers will represent the United States at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
