Congrats to Matt The Cat and Kelly!

And you thought the days of old-time radio DJs were gone? Not at XM Radio, where some of the channels have real living, breathing personalities behind a microphone.  As some already know, XM5 (“50s on 5”) is one of my few regular stops on the XM dial, and a lot of it is due to the evening Night Prowl show by Matt The Cat.  I happened to pop into his website on a regular visit, and found out the news: Matt The Cat is now engaged to Cross Country Kelly!  Short version of the story: Kelly picked up and moved from California to Washington, DC (where XM’s headquarters is located), and phoned in nightly requests and reports to Matt on her trip east.  After she arrived they met, one thing led to another, and they are now engaged!  Rather than beam Kelly up to the satellite, The Cat took her up the old fashioned way to propose: in a hot air balloon, at sunset.  How cool is that?  So, to Kelly and Matt, “Wildcat” Rudy and the gang send along congratulations and best wishes for the happy couple!  (And you can hear the announcement over at Kelly’s sister Melia’s site.)
