A Name You Know, Sam Boyle

Ironic and not at all a coincidence that I posted this earlier this morning...

“Ur so brave for sharing ur story”

No stuff just happens to me and I can’t shut up

 

That's extremely descriptive of me sharing my mental health journey. Sam Boyle isn't all that dissimilar. 

 

If you're familiar with  Sam's tragic story, I'm sure you wish you weren't, and that you wish nothing so awful had ever happened. Oddly, there may be no better person for something so sad to have happened to someone. Sam is truly heroic and without a doubt taken the loss of her son and saved an innumerable amount lives of others. 

Buckle up. 

 

Cosmic Baseball is Coming!

What is cosmic baseball? Is this some Elon Musk Mars MLB mania!? No, but maybe. I do know, thanks to a visit from the Mud Hens and Walleye's Jordan Strack, these tickets WILL sell out for their August appearance here. 

After that, when if at all will the Lions lose in January or February. And what's next for the Lions.

Sunshine Communities Returns

Shannon and Mallory from Sunshine Communities return to refresh your memory on what they do and who they serve, as well as Shannon sharing the honor that was bestowed upon her yesterday, and their ask for upcoming day within the holidays.

A Modern Dark Ages

A Social Dark Ages so to speak. Before we hit that and my last last last election wrap up, after a week of digesting and reflecting...

A first here and in Cleveland for Black Frog Brewery.

I hope this shuttle to DTW works. 

Lady Rockets against the wake of Caitlin Clark.

Happy Gilmore 2!?

Hire me to be a walking mannequin!

A Shiny Parachute

The few times I've lost my job my severance was just a couple months. The Stellantis workers losing their jobs are getting MUCH more than that or anything I ever got. 

Then, let the car parties pop off but more safely. This can be a win for all.

Let's tailor our holiday salutations.

Where to get your holiday parties catered from. 

Before Gladiator 2 it may be Outbreak 2 IRL.

It's Gonna Be OK

Ugh, right? Not the outcome we wanted, BUT lots of positive news locally! I'll take more Wade! 

First, another aging thing, I finally found it, grading myself for being able to avoid all the chaos yesterday, then why it may not be so bad. And one thing we have to absolutely ensure DOES NOT HAPPEN. 

She's Back!

It's been...too long since my best friend Alex Thomas has been able to record with us. She's back to invite you to a fundraiser for her place, Neighborhood Properties, at Maumee Bay Brewing, something we're calling Q Karaoke. 

Once she shared her role in creating the Wellness Center for NPI. We'll go back over that but also, what NPI does. 

Then some election stuff, which is still relevant even today!

Council's Dr. Brittany Jones

Like recent guest Mac Driscoll, Brittany too was appointed to an open seat on council. Unlike Mac, Brittany is unopposed on the ballot and voting that wraps up Tuesday. 

We're (unfortunately) by no means a hub of deep intellect in NWO, but Dr. Jones is about as close to a polymath as we likely have here. From a love of writing to a PhD of...well, not writing! I'll let her explain because her educational background is even over my wannabe-intellectual mind. 

Meet the New Coach

She's following, if not a legend, a missed pillar in our community. But she has the DNA to step right in for Coach Cullop at Savage and beyond. Along with new Lady Rockets Coach Ginny Boggess is freshman Evalyse Cole. Why not one of the more veteran staples of the team like Sammi  or Nan? Because of Evalyse's uncle!

It's Walleye Season

Walleye broadcaster Kendall Linnenkugel returns to get us ready for this year's season, that hopefully ends with a Kelly Cup. Why do they always fall to unfamiliar foes in the playoffs?

Kendall also talks up a new addition to the team that has equal star power and talent as MVP Brandon Hawkins. 

If you wanna skip ahead past some of the nuts of the bolts in the season preview, please do, but don't miss Kendall's perspective on the Caitlin Clark phenomenon and many more things women's sports.
