This week hasn't worked out as planned, so it's just Bethany and I with...

Pizza Palooza

Working at TSA

Food trucks

A local opener for Pat Benatar tonight

Expensive flights

A disappearing dog

988 goes active

I came across Tramain's name in this WTOL article last month after another teen shooting. His advocacy work to help teens need better role models or influences fascinated me so of course I wanted to do a podcast visit.

I wasn't quite sure to expect. But I found out about the needed VOLUNTEER driven work The Program does, and the fantastic places Tramain has been, and the perspectives that have come with that. 

The Ability Center's initiative, and new podcast are live!

Oh no, is it too small!?

Kengo-nation expands, to this casino this time.

Cosmic Zillow.

I'm in some modest HOA drama.

Maybe Cheese Born With It is in the Great Food Truck Race semifinals.

A very interesting BG pet show is tomorrow.

Imagine a new show taking you back to the best version of where that show came from.

Is Stranger Things a kids show?

Brittney Griner is in a terrible situation, of her own carelessness.

You missed $2.38 gas this morning.

Waterville may be getting a 9000 seat amphitheater.

Unbelievable microbrewery laws in NJ.

Bethany is back from the land of Coke.

Madi's got moves.

No Thor spoilers.

Thank you SO much to Wendi Huntley, who was recently in this space, for the tour of her fantastic operation Connecting Kids to Meals. 

Reminder about the daily blog page. 

It's getting harder and harder to find shows you like that others are watching too.

A tattoo story that will have you thinking differently about them.

Alex scored some really good tickets to go up and see Santana, but a foul mood and some misfortunate set in. Then Santana collapsed!

Alex is FOR all the exploding things, whenever and almost wherever.

What made you think they were rich when you were a kid. 

Much like Nature's Nursery, Fur Angels Rescue takes care of injured animals. 

Thanks to Jill Borkowski for taking time to tell me (and you) all about what they do, how you can help (foster foster foster!) and their upcoming Putts For Mutts event on July 24th at Legacy Golf Club.

They have a truly money-can't-buy (OK, A LOT of it could) auction item at a historic American venue that will catch your attention. 

Something may have toppled Kate Bush's resurrected hit.

My first afternoon/night with Invisalign was a bit of an adventure, and lots of mental gymnastics. Things are much better now!

Seriously, the closest I've ever ever to a gun, or what war is like.

Fewer flags for July 4th?

More people than not, are miffed about late night firecrackers*. That's what they are. Fireworks were what you saw Saturday over the river.

The 6th Backstreet Boy, and it's not me.

It's nearly 40 years ago, so yeah, that counts as a fossil!

I'm happy to have Alona Matchenko back in studio. She recently was overseas providing aid, so we talk about that, and the upcoming Toledo Helps Ukraine wine and canvas event in BG next, wait no, later this month.

First, I DO feel positive we have hit the peak of gas prices and inflation. 

My work neighbor is a tortoise? 

The UT and BG football programs may be in peril due to what the Big 10 just did. 

I know a good amount about East Toledo, but I've not spent enough time there. So I was really thankful to get an invite to get to know and see all the East Toledo Family Center has to offer. It's an irreplaceable part of the 05.

Before the visit with Jodi and Shelby...WORKCATION!
