We are not connected to the Roman Catholic...

Whether you've been driving for just a few months or a few decades, there are roads, bridges, tunnels, highways that are so daunting we are afraid to drive them. We avoid them if we can.

If you had the luxury of an unlimited budget, how would you have changed your wedding day? Perhaps a more expensive venue, a bigger band, or a more exotic or longer honeymoon. Or was it perfect just the way it was??

Is public education doomed? Between the loss of control in the classroom and the added decimation of learning due to the 2 year pandemic, is any learning going on at all?

Pete and Maureen take a look at what's been called "The Great Resignation" as millions of Americans walk away from their jobs and careers....often with no safety net. Who would do something so seemingly irresponsible? Is there something in the drinking water?

It's called the" Extraordinary Catholic Movement" and it's comprised largely of ex-pat Roman Catholics which is one of the fastest growing religious classifications in the United States.

This week, the Sonic Boomers reminisce about the Thanksgivings of long ago.

It's a best selling book. It's the mother of the American interstate highway system. Long before people sought their kicks on Route 66 there was the Lincoln Highway.

An address like any of the other 17,000 addresses in Levittown but THIS one is special.
