Congratulations! Your prediction that I would "piss someone off" in 2002 proved prophetic ("Psychics Predict," Dec. 26). On my first showof the year, starting Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 5:30 a.m., I pissed someone off at 5:34 a.m.!

Thanks also for the Best of Syracuse award for Best Local Radio Disc Jockey. I intended to come to your party to pick it up, but I spaced. After Sept. 11, the fall was nothing but a blur. But it is always a big thrill for me when I am mentioned in your paper."
