Have you planned or thought through your activities for this year? Being prepared is half the battle. Who is gonna ge there? What time?  Thinking through with Jennifer and I tonight will help the Christmas blues. Please join us toni...

Poppie lives on!  My father and I recorded a show about Pearl Harbor, the 1941 Attack, head injury and life in general and more Naval 1941 entuque.  Jennifer Goodman, my Co-Host, is studying up on WW II - During this time of year I want to pass on some love and kindness through the airwaves Enjoy your surroundings, the lights, music, and laughter... OK, thanx Jen (so much for war History, I guess)...

More, MUCH more presented after while.   As a couple with a pair of TBI, it's November and BIRD IS THE WORD!   Opps, Max.  I didn't mean you...

Full week kinda got me, but we had a blast, and fall out.  Mercadi took me to Neuro Study, while her and Jenn walked the Malls, I took a a 6-hour neuro psych exam.  Of those and alike tests taken before, NEVER in one day.  It got me, took me down Saturday.  Friday the 'normal' visit to my Behavior Counselor completed a full week of Doc's.  Jenn saw Doc after Doc last week too, finally getting the...

With my co host on a huge mental delay, let's discuss being a custodial parent not allowed its child.  Alabama courts met these eyes for the first time.  Wild and weird for this ex-MAA who spent much time in Military Court Rooms.  I've been to Indiana court rooms too, many times.  Ohio too, and D.C.   Never is a court room nice to visit or experience (unless your me), but for the first time I actu...

TBI's on the road.  Jennifer Goodman is driving under the moon lit sky as we take a trip back to her home.   TBI's times two, road trippin... Lot's we can discuss, just remind us to check for gas!  Hoping Kim or someone will run the switchboard - call us.   (424) 243-9540  Yeah Y'all!

CTE deaths follow a long, confusing life span.  Bangs to the head are NEVER a good thing.  Some sports protect the noggin as best the can, but is it good enough.  A brain injury lives on the edge.  I dance along, trusting my Angels to keep me straight....

Jennifer Goodman and Matt kick off thier new season with information, talk, fun and rock, plus a new hairstyle.   Jen's shortened her hair this morning - by 6 inches!  It's still long and beautiful.  As is she.  Off the wall show - you make a discussion, er, topic.  Topics, are like rules.  Meant to be broken if no one is harmed.  Topics hold brain injured folks back, as the thought of the moment...

Vegas followd Hurracane's in destructing our peace as Americans.  Our National Capitol seems very confused, if not under indictments with all the glamor of an apprentice. A 'No Show' or confused soul follows.  Let's talk about it all. Also, Jennifer Goodman traveled a map, a Brain Map this week with me, inside the Brain Forrest - she's excited about that! Kneel or Stand became life or limb in the...

Many American's watched or are watching the NFL, either privately or openly.   Home or Fantasy Team action - folks plan a year ahead to follow thier team.   Some will watch players pre-game displays of the National Anthem, but very, VERY few paid $200 of so, to watch Francis Scott Key's song be played.  Blame the pre-game 'information' on the NFL and a divided America, not all the players as one. ...

Unlucky 13 ended up pretty lucky for me.   Let's do some math skills, TBI wise.  1 appendix removal at 12;  27 surgery's since 2008, the "Year of The Wreck." Now, as of Friday afternoon - 13 of those total surgery proceedures have been ''done'' in the last 5 years.  Angioplasti something again and my blood is flowing best it has in a couple years - at least by my strong guess.  You see, once brain...

Tony Stewart and AJ drive tonight, and Jennifer and I are invited.  Sunshine says we're going, so does the appearance of the sun.  HaHa,  The Race, a 100 lapper, begins at 7.  We'll be back, or in the near the home pits at 'showtime' - soooooo.' Let me try something.  Mr Walker will NOT open the show tonight, but Doctor Samatha Backhaus recording will explain the brain.  At 8 pm (PT) we should be...

Indianapolis Symphany Orchestra meet Led Zepplin.  And Jennifer, myself.  Our world on braininjuryradio.com and beyond is impressed. Quite a weekend, bigger day's that's not so quiet.  It's Labor Day in America - enjoy youself!  Picnic, visit, hide and play games - but enjoy yourself. You're done your Labor's, right?  Nope. DOING our Labor's of life.  Jen and I are juuuuuust comming from the Indy...

God sent Angels who lead me to doors.  I stick my head in, push the door open and join the plateu ahead.  You listeners are wonderful supporters, and I thank you.  With out you, there is no me.  You've grabbed me and brought my spirits high.  I thank you all.  Well, most anyway. Its been a wonderful 5 years, and will be more wonderful as The Jennifer Goodman Show joins me on Sunday nights.  We're...

August 16, 2008:  "A day of intamacy'' Having a good, good time after a looooong week of work, officially - 6 times - I killed myself.  Unrealistic Belief became the prayer of my world for a week, then 'yank' I was pulled off ''the machine''.  As all the family, friends and minister circled my bed, a funny thing happened.  I lived.   Funnier, my father MADE me live for the following years.  Misund...

Let's discuss rehabilitaion post "the magic 18 month" period, patient sights of improvements as BI's eventually fall into traps.  Social, family, health administrations and the options of 'those folks' being not as considerate. Call in with stories of how your social circle "well, my husband had that done (did he?)" comparisons along with "Oh, I do that all the time (do you?)" likely hoods.  Even...

A psycology student and single mother stepped in a parking lot's unmarked hole and quickly banged her head on the pavement.  Broke her arm and suffered a major concussion with life time conditions, so the docs said.  Months later.  It took WEEKS to discover she also broke her arm.  Possibly the head injury personally ignoring it, because it was busy?   Her son suffered a motorcycle wreck - 4 men l...

Life 'changes' with a brain injury, it's a fact.  Comfortability isn't home, if in fact this place is home?  How DO the loved ones 'gear up' for the long battles ahead?  Is it help, listening, working and understanding?  Or is it time for a life change in total body and soul?   Personally, I moved back and purchased the house I was raised in - the first time.  I was as comfy with my father as a su...

Jennifer Goodman takes over, I'm kinda hurt.  Seizure in the sun took me out yesterday.  BUT, I'll be around.   Had a great week, until yesterday -  then.  Summer Time Blues. Was I doing too much?  Nah, just trying to walk.  I will - someday. Jen will talk some blues, but hit on brightness as well.  

Fireworks... Love them,hate them? Too bright? Too Loud? Too many people? Children?   The fireworks didnt seem to bother Matt as much as it did me. Last night Matt , I and his daughter went to Cambridge City Fireworks, a local celebration. Yes, an excellent show. Beautiful, spectacular colors, and sparkles galore. BUT, after an hour the brightness gave me a headache and those booms didnt help eithe...

In a race between hell and high water.  Plan on swimming without getting burnt.   I have a show planned, it wont 'create' for some reason - as normal.   Showin' Jennifer a back way to win against this war.  Done it before.. Crossing my fingers....

Tora Tora Tora - the Duffin way.  A replay of a talk my father Woodrow DUffin and our listeners had from five years ago. He passed away in 2014.  Cheif Petty Officer Duffin - I salute you.   He does tell the story of his day onboard the USS California on December 7th, 1941.  THIS is a keeper, a listener, a story of a humble man.. Dad, we miss you... <3 

Tonight, inside The Downtown Milton Studio my CoHost Jennifer Goodman finds her desk ready to discuss and talk life with a brain injury and so much more.  I'm betttng.  Same Southern draw, same beautiful face.  The Studio is STILL in disarray, but we'll get it.     Batman, THE Batman Mr. Adam West passed away on Friday, and my heart is sad.  The man helped raise me.  Taught me, showed me brutal po...

Rockin' into the summer.  RHI Ski Days are Wed and Thur.  We're set to do Thursday, but I'll check the weather first.  Indiana is FINALLY blooming into beautiful, 'Globle Warming' wise for the season.  Hope you're weather is fine too.  Gonna talk brain washing, with a clean rag, and climate control. The last is easy - we can't.  Brain washing?  Oh my, the words out of my lips tonight.  Should be i...

Memorial Day.  We remember our fallen hero's of war, and occasionally peace.  This is America afterall, Land of the free, home of the brave and country built by war.  We also understand that Memorial Day helped put both itself and the Indianapolis 500 on the holiday maps.  300,000 folks in one spot, it's certainly a Memorial.  NASCAR joined the Memorial race rally with it's All Star event - the Wo...
