Daniel Pearlman, from the Jewish Federation, is here to discuss the upcoming event Shine A Light On Hate at Lourdes on Aug 27th. It brings together various area marginalized and minority groups in response to increased hate speech and actions across the country.

Then Daniel is kind enough to let me pillory him with questions about Bar Mitzvah's, ice cream and empty calorie streaming shows. 

First, SHARKS!

Hi! Keeping it quick with Alex today.

Day 3 or so of Noelle's daycare adventure. 

Future MLB Hall of Famer RAVES about a Toledo restaurant.

The $6k question in my condo association.

Alex is slowly settling into the house, but it's been tough to chase down Sonni. 

The new(?) Friday crew?

I got a Jaden a gift...from 2010 or so, and that got us talking about our first music player experiences.

Bethany is potty training Madi. Or Madi is training Bethany to do things for her...

Daycare for my niece was so bad. 

The fine crew at Lourdes University asked if they can have the on air breaks done from their instant admission fair day! I am happy to oblige as they're always gracious and welcoming hosts to my twice a year visits. 

This is the third time it's my somber pleasure to welcome Nike Licata for a visit to talk about losing her son, on active duty in Alaska, to suicide. The third Run For Life happens September 16th at Dana MORE HERE. And this is Nike's visit last year, with a fuller version of her loss. 

With Nike this time is Amanda Held from HOOVES. Hooves is equine healing, which was just for veterans (Amanda was Air Force and is still in the Guard), but after so much success the program is open more people now, including and especially kids. 

I've had Amanda here several times before, but this is her most sage and powerful visit yet!

Jeep Fest struck a crushing blow to me!

Just not gonna win the popular vote on this issue. 

UT AD doing what he said he was going to do. 

Reading a preview of what that was had me intrigued. This was not a typical art festival. I appreciate Dani Fuller of Fuller Art House in Sylvania for visiting and sharing about her baby with the pod.

First, if they want to die, don't let them. Then, bringing back up my quirky idea to slow drivers down, and finally, Matchbox 20 will be here. Or so they're scheduled to be. 

Quickly on Issue 8, for which the onslaught of ads for it will only last another 6 days.

Alex has much less cynicism than me when it comes to the Lizzo drama. Stars acting terribly!? My word.

Is Alex trying to leave an apartment complex, or depart a war torn, overlord run country!?

Last night was a huge success at Glass City Metropark. 

It's Jaden's mom's birthday tomorrow night, with a dinner at Texas Roadhouse. 

Many collect vinyl these days, but Jaden collects another form of physical music media. 

Doja Cat vs. Her Fans.

Jaden and Bethany break down Issue 1.

Spoilers. Well, actually not really. You KNOW what happens in Oppenheimer. Oh, please tell you do! And Barbie, what kind of ending or cliffhanger would you be expecting anyway!? Both excellent movies.

First, the needs of the many unfortunately outweigh the needs of the few. 

Everyone has their price.
