**Mother's Day Special**

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's of all the entities out there. There were many folks who reached out to me wanting to hear more from my mom after episode 1. Well, here it is, on the perfect day for it. 10 years to the day that I met my mother in person, she's going to bare her soul for you today. This is emotionally heavy and shares a lot of our deepest parts of ourselves but I think the message behind all of it is something everyone should hear on this day. Please remember what's important. I love you.

Whiskey Grin - "Saturday's Child"

Welcome back to The Journey.  I’m happy to have you back along for the ride with me as we have a really special guest here with me tonight.  Sometimes in life, people are placed in a time in your life that is so important, you always remember where you were when it happened.  For me, this is one of those special people that I’m forever linked with and we mention it very early on in this show.  Episode 5 brings you Steamed Hams Except it’s Jo talking to Kit Tidwell, 30 Year Toms River High School North English Teacher.  Yeah, it’s a long title, but I think it’s worth it for those who get it.  We talk about hospice, education, the differences over the last 20 years pre and post pandemic and I make a very hard argument for why homework as a whole should be abolished.
