On Tuesday's show: We reflect on another long playoff run by the Houston Astros, who lost Game 7 of the American League Championship Series to the Texas Rangers Monday night.

Also this hour: We continue our series of conversations with area candidates this time with State Sen. John Whitmire, who's running for Houston mayor.

Then, we discuss the history of tipping, what etiquette says is appropriate, and how that’s changing these days.

And we discuss 50 years of HSPVA – the Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, with an alum and editor of a book about it, a fellow classmate, and a former principal.
