As an adult, I am not ashamed to say that I love Legos! They may be considered toys, but I can get hours of enjoyment putting them together just the same. Maybe that's the kid in me bursting out! Now, this is not a sponsored episode, I just love these bricks and wanted to let you know you are allowed to love them too! In this episode I talk about my Lego hobby, and the idea that adults can partake in Legomania without embarrassment. There are giant conventions that are attended each year by thousands of adults and children. For some, this has become a way to bond with family. The Lego industry has become super fancy, with architectural designs, many different themes, and competitions everywhere. It's an artform! Now…

The political climate today is volatile. Democrats and Republicans seem to be so far apart on every topic of concern, it's hard to imagine they'll ever be able to agree again! In this episode, I ask if it's possible to meet in the middle. Joining me in this discussion is Michael "Vass" Vasquez, a political commentator, podcaster and conservative Republican. Oh yeah, and my big brother! Michael's podcast, No Soundbites Allowed, focuses on everything politics and he pulls no punches! If there is any hope of a more Bipartisan political landscape, then we have to start by having the discussion and figuring out where the problem lies. Now, I'm no political pundit, but I know what I like and don't like. And I don't like the bitter vitriol that has…

Check out Episode 003 and make sure you hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode! If you've ever told a little white lie in your life, you are not alone! Sometimes telling small tales is necessary to spare someone else's feelings-do you really want to tell your boss you hate her brand new dress? Now, there are certainly times when telling the truth is the best way to go. For example, auditoning for a talent show should be left to those who actually have talent! Friends don't let friends embarrass themselves in front of millions of people! Does this make you a liar? That depends on your perception-is the glass half full or half empty? If it's half full, then you're definitely NOT a liar! You are…

Today, kids are very protected from head to toe. If they ride their bikes, they will be wearing mandatory helmets. If they are roller skating, they will most likely have knee pads and elbow pads too. And don't forget those ultra safe playgrounds fully equipped with kid safe materials like foam rubber mats and rounded edged plastic slides and climbing bars. But what about us adults? Our childhood pastimes were dangerous! Helmets-who wore those? And don't get me started on those monkey bars of death! You needed a tetnus shot just looking at them! It's a true miracle that any of us made it out of the 70's and 80's with all of our limbs intact! In this episode, join me as I take a trip down memory lane discussing…
