Breakfast With Barry Lee

On the calendar it's 'Graduation Tassel Day' and that triggered some thoughts that Barry shared as a commencement speaker at James Wood High School many years ago. The topic was how little time it takes to make a difference in this world ... like moving a turtle out of the roadway (always in the direction it was headed).

Barry's guest on this episode is Cynthia Schneider, CEO of the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber. Topics cover the upcoming Employer Expo hiring event and this summer's 'Corporate Challenge'.

In addition to Police Week and Peace Officers Memorial Day, it's also Nylon Stockings Day and National Chocolate Chip Day. Barry shares his habit of eating the chips right out of the bag ... and getting caught.

It's Dance Like A Chicken Day, Dog Mom's Day and Minature Golf Day. Barry reflects on just how competitive people get with a friendly game of putt-putt, and celebrates the special bond between women and their dogs.

May is 'Mental Health Awareness Month' and Barry's guest is Brandan Thomas, Executive Director of the Winchester Rescue Mission. Brandan talks about the high percentage of his homeless residents at the shelter that suffer from a mental illness and 'where we go from here' as a community and nation.

It's only for a fraction of a second, and we keep the frustration to ourselves, but when the driver forgets to unlock the car door when we go to get back in....or if you're the driver and you forget ... anyway, we cover it all on today's podcast.

Barry's guest on today's podcast is Maximilian Janker from Germany who shares the fun traditions of some of the local villages and the May Tree.

Barry's guest on today's episode is Jay Keffer, Coordinator of this Saturday's 'Letter Carrier Food Drive' in Winchester, Frederick and Clarke Counties.

Where do all of our lost socks go? Is there a sock heaven? Why do we keep all those 'strays' in our sock drawer? Barry ponders these questions and more on Lost Sock Memorial Day.

It's all about 'Mom' on today's podcast, including the things she told you over and over, and, the things you never heard her say.
