Caller ID
This week we discuss the pitfalls of not having Caller ID. A technology that we all take for granted today. Watch some classic sitcoms and then consider how different they would be if the cast had Caller ID. Seinfeld - we're looking at you. Better yet, listen to this week's SOJCast.
Project Updates (6:00)
Getting up at the crack of dawn, perhaps even before that, has been working pretty well. The book grows in pages as the tree does in leaves. This week we also record the SOJCast before the sun rises.
Did you hear Stacey's story of a competent public official? If only all politics really were local.
It's also that time of year when Parent/Teacher conferences happen. Was Stacey's trip a brow beating from the faculty or a victory lap for the 'rents?

eWomen are Lunatics (eDating Advice from the Bubbameistah) by Maura Stone
It's a terrific book of dating advice from your Yiddish Grandmother. Surprisingly hilarious!
Of course you should date online, you're such a catch.

Food Porn (52:30)
Stacey gets ready to head off on vacation and leave his low carb lifestyle on the shore. But this week we are still toughing it out with animal flesh. Chickens in particular.
The best meal of the week goes to our chicken wing feast at Hooters. We were there for the wings... seriously, we were. No, really. Usually we just take them home. The Chicken Wings.
Also restaurant karma comes full circle and we get a giant table!
50 wings. Medium, wet and naked. That just doesn't sound right!
We also spend some time reminiscing about our favorite chicken wing restaurant of all time (that is no more). Buffalo's Original Wings 'N Rings in Tallahassee, FL. They had awesome chicken wings and served carrots with their blue cheese!
We loved it so much we saved a coupon for more than 20 years. If you ever use a time machine and go to the beginning of 1989, feel free to use our coupon. You'll be glad you did - time machine gas is really expensive, or so we hear.
