Midlife crisis? Vanity? Bald-phobia? I don’t know, but I decided to get a hairpiece, aka toupee, now known as a “system.” Like my first tattoo and surgery, I learned a lot about the process, and myself as I ventured into the world of “fake hair.” I NEVER thought I would do this, but I never thought I would get a tattoo or like asparagus, but here we are. The cost, the maintenance, the decision – we talk about it all and then the final product. Half of me was hoping it would look ridiculous, just for the comedy. Did it? Tune in and see!

Meet Patricia Dillard - current city council person for La Mesa, and running for mayor in the next election! We talk about living in La Mesa, the past present and future. We discuss housing, homeless, police, and I butcher acronyms as we discuss her plans if she wins the election.

My guest today is Kenneth Watson. He is a military vet, an author, and recently a father, but still insists his primary identifying marker is as an alcoholic. He had his first drink at about 6 years old, and remembers the first time he was drunk,.Kenneth was only 12 years old.

Alcohol surrounded most of his life in high school, college and the military. While it would have been easy to become a statistic, he sobered up, wrote a book and is sharing his story with the world with the intention of letting people know there is hope and help. He recently had a son whom he shamelessly brags about – don’t we all! It is a wonderful, touching, hopeful story of overcoming adversity and standing for something.
