I know I irk some people, definitely on Twitter, when I say things like 'Toledo has a solid plan to end so much of the violence, and the murders.'

Michele has studied this, so hear her out on it.

Why your zip code means almost everything in your life.

She's also got an epidemiological background, making her thoughts on COVID very much worth hearing as well.

It took me some time to track Michele down, but I'm glad she made the time to chat. Her words are thoughtful, and she will be immensely helpful to Toledoans. 

Bad weather is on the way.

Bethany on the halftime show, and she affirmed my thought that one REALLY big song was missing.

Matthew Stafford's wife is a phone addict.

Madi is STILL eating from the dog bowls. And now cursing.

Bethany and Alex are very displeased about the cheating Russian skater. 

Remember, you're not likely to feel how you think you will in the future. But, maybe you will!

With that, your FOREVER VALENTINE is a hopeful phrase.

And you shouldn't have to work THAT hard on things.

Remove parking spaces from downtown?! Maybe. At some point.

I found another silver lining in these COVID times.

Rick's diner, Lefties Philly cheesesteaks and more, and this restaurant returning to the area!

What should we talk about today!? 

The halftime show, which was NOT the best ever. I'll tell you why.

Our top three commercials. 

The game itself. 

How well do you know the secondary hits of the halftime performers?

NERD STUFF from last night. Moon Knight, Doctor Stranger, LOTR...

Alex showed me her wedding spreadsheet. 

A couple weeks ago I mentioned the local family that was going to be airing on the Family Feud. The Kahan's. Kay-han, right? Nope. That mispronunciation had Steve ringing me up to so I could say it correctly.

Steve visits today to talk about the family's very successful, but still somewhat, secretive trip to Atlanta to be on the iconic gameshow.

Don't go anywhere. Restaurant Week Toledo returns and Leadership Toledo's Anna Toney is here for a preview. 

Bethany was down in Florida for some days for a St. Ursula dance competition.

Her 16 month old did not miss her. At all. 

TSA updates, for First Friday and the upcoming expansion.

Taxes season is coming quick.

Halftime show preview. 

Alex is euphoric over Euphoria (SPOILERS!).

Etiquette or the unwritten rules of communication.

The latest in the Rogan saga.

A prime example of why I have WAY bigger issues with business than government.

Worst possible pizza toppings.

AITA. Batman vs. baby birth.

Most. Not all. The Joe Rogan controversy. Though I forgot to mention, more big names may not be jumping down him because they don't want their past parsed through. Oh and I forgot to mention, his apology was just enough, because what he did was indefensible. 

The other two things. The Olympics and the Oscars. Thoughts why they're less relevant than ever.

First, another Value City! Third furniture store is the charm?

Where we are headed could be called BEZOSVISION!

Mary Bilyeu from the Blade is on for her monthly visit.

Her personal Great British Bakeoff challenge. The peanut butter tart!

It's National Hot Breakfast month. How we prefer our eggs, and what wins, pancakes or waffles!?

Food prepping for Super Bowl Sunday. Cincy chili, but what from LA?

Before Mary, a couple workplace thoughts. 

Bethany is down in Florida doing...culty things?

Is it a sport?

Alex wanted to ask something about being Jewish.

Aftermath of the 12" snow storm.

I have some serious long term concerns about costs and prices.
