ABC's "The Golden Bachelor" has ended. But, as with all "reality tv", how much was legit and how much was a little fast and loose? Is Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner really all he was presented to be or is there a little darkness? How did this experiment in upper demographics work out in the TV ratings? Is Golden Bachelor "one and done?" Did you watch it? Would you watch again? We're talkin' about it!

If you're like us, you have a ton of cleaning products stashed under your kitchen sink. Is there a way we can get the number of products down to 3 or 4 instead of 8 to 10? What products overlap? Is there really such a thing as an "all purpose cleaner" and can you REALLY use them for ALL purposes. Are there tasks you should NOT use them for? Based upon my experience as someone who actually LOVES CLEANING, I'll share by views and reviews as we try to get down to the closest thing to a "does it all" product.

Pete and Maureen are two VERY different personalities (if you haven't figured that out already.) In this show they'll tell you what they've been reading . Maureen, the family intellectual, loved reading Dan Brown but has stumbled onto an author she enjoyed even more!
Pete had a brick slammed over his head when he was a kid (thanks Tom Brennan wherever you are) and his thinking has been a little warped ever since. Pete has the memoir of a man who sent over 300 people to their deaths but was always on the right side on the prison bars.

In the American National Catholic Church, we see YOU. We hear YOU. Pro-choice. Pro-LGBTQ. We will perform your same sex marriage with great joy! We deny communion to no one. . Being DIVORCED does not make you an adulterer. We know, in spite of our best efforts...sometimes a marriage needs to end. That's not a sin...It won't keep you from our table. We are not connected to the Roman Catholic Church. Many of us in the ANCC are former Roman Catholics who left for a variety of reasons. August 11 thru 13 the ANCC held its' bi-annual convocation, delayed two years by the pandemic. Our key-note speaker was singer-songwriter Dan Schutte of the "St. Louis Jesuits."...a true giant in post Vatican 2 Catholic music. It was our best convocation ever. Listen and learn about the church that is a modern American expression of a mystical, ancient faith! After pandemic, we were reunited and it felt so good!

It took us nearly 60 years to do it. Eight years ago, we walked away from Roman Catholicism. We would have done it much sooner, if we had an exit ramp to something better. We found it.. 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.
