Some thank you to begin the episode, which gets me to what it IS easier to do these days when it comes to transactions. 

I'm slowly migrating more to Threads. 

Taylor Swift affects things!

A nearby Crop Circle festival. 

Maybe he WANTED to get caught to avoid what we're all plagued by. 

Really, why? Are you just sleep walking through life, school, work, date, get married, make kids, die...

WHY? To wipe your ass when you're old? What if you don't have a relationship with them? 

What in you is driving you, besides 300,000 year old DNA, to procreate!?

It's my annual (sometimes moreso) with Megan Scott, a suicide attempt survivor, to invite you to this year's Out Of The Darkness walk. See you October 7th!

First, another daily thought about the strike, and why I'm envious about so many asking for (and deserving) pay bumps, and not an invasion of privacy so much as it's an assault of hypocrisy. 

I've seen my friend, and past guest, Wendi Huntley from Connecting Kids to Meals all over the media the last few weeks. Turns out this is a very important month when it comes to combating hunger. See how you can help out Wendi, with a couple bucks, a couple hours, or a couple votes to score them a slick new vehicle in a national contest! VOTE HERE

First, my ethical and financial selves clashing, over something that's been brewing for years, if not several decades. And now, we're figuratively and literally paying for it. 

My radio career will likely be bookended by beginning and ending at stations that were called Q...

And all because of a simple word in an AOL profile.

First, a few thoughts, realities and fears with the UAW strike. 

(My apologies about echoing Alex!)

It's been some weeks away from us with Bethany, so a potty training update!

A little bit more about my visit home and Bethany's doubts about Wawa pretzels. 

The new NSYNC song is going to be REALLY good. 

How often do you think of the Roman Empire?

Taylor Swift beat reporting. 

Sans a kid in school, this was one of the more challenging interviews for me to ask the right questions. Beth doesn't seem intent to mislead, but maybe after listening you can get me more knowledgeable about the subject.

First, some upcoming events to invite you, and why the surge of popularity of Vans, Jordan 1s and Dunks. 

This was recorded before my trip away, but no less informative. We hear OF the disease often enough, but how much do we/you/I actually know about its viciousness? Let's ask Marsha Oberleiter those questions, as she visits to talk about the upcoming walk in the Monroe area on Oct. 7. 

Sorry for so few episodes recently! I CAN share more about what has kept me so busy at work as the project is now up and running. 

Just tap water, family dinner, wild drivers, unpleasant people, a dog up all night and plenty more from my trip home.

Alex has so many tears for her nephews first football game.

It's not reading if you listen to a book. Sorry. 

Tim and Amy from Monarch Grief Center make a return visit. I want to know what they've learned since being online beginning back in February. Also, they'd like to invite you to their first fundraiser coming up in September.

First, Nebraska women's volleyball must've done something big to warrant discussion. 

Prison escapee details prison break.

A very provocative (and wrong) editorial in the Blade.
