It's blog time - so, what do I write about?

Well, it's been a raucous week inside my head(guess that's normal).

As Easter approaches(well, it's here), the usual antiJew emails pour in. From "dirty jew, Jewy Louie and kike, to Christ killer. I must say that I thought these would soften over the years, but,they've gotten worse, much for frequent and much, much more vicious.
I also have my tangles with those of the Hebraic persuasion! Too many Hebrews focus on what's 'Kosher for Passover' than whatPesach is REALLY about. I LOVE Pesach. It's very personal to me.
"B'chol dor vador..." = basically: It is incumbent upon all of us, every one, to feel as she/he/they, PERSONALLY, were freed from bondage. Was I freed from slavery in Egypt? Well, I believe this is a calling upon us to liberate ourselves from our self-imposed bondage! Example:

Louie: "G-d, please, free me from this bondage!"

G-d: "Hey,Louie, you put yourself in it- now, get yourself out of it ....I gave you the tools, use them !!!"

Around Easter, there's the issue of people buying rabbits from unscrupulous, cruel profiteers on pain and my frequent urging , NOT to buy live rabbits, but, get one of those cute, battery operated, singing ,dancing buns, or,as I: http://www.makeminechocolate.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Make Mine Chocolate. Every year I hear: 'my little daughter/son, just kept asking and I couldn't say "no". Well, if little Bobby Sue or Hugo or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awoo1XmZeM0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Shaniqua or Noah whined for a fifth of vodka and a pack of Chesterfield Reds, you'd certainly know how to say "NO". You should no more get a pet for your child, expecting them to learn responsibility than you'd give your teenager a car and say, 'hop in and go learn how to drive". Be the parent your child NEEDS YOU TO BE and know when and HOW to say NO!

..and, yes, I'm still being told that I had no business 'forcing' Robert Truslow to come on the show, so soon after his successful liver transplant(yeah,bro!). Robert continues to heal. I've been honoured to get to know the Truslows, amazing mom,wife,nurse,teacher: Justine PLUS, http://www.truslowmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Robert's musical relatives: TRUSLOW !

OH YEAH, Lot's o' criticism about having Colin Flaherty back on the show, http://www.vindy.com/podcasts/vindy-radio/2015/mar/31/vindy-talk-radio-mar-31-2015-colin-flaherty/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">discussing his new book. Colin uses the
term: 'trolls'. If you speak up and out, you know them. They post their comments with anonymity, email from faceless email addresses and, occasionally send letters, unsigned, of course! (my youngin', Lucky Penny would tell me: "Louie, they just haters, hatin') .
Speaking of getting high, if the 12 steppers had their way, after my recent interview with http://gabrielleglaser.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gabrielle Glaser, and, my comments on 03 April's show, their 13th step would be on me!

Yeah, quite a week.

Then, after leaving the Vindicator on Friday, as usual, I stopped to visit with my 98 year old aunt at the nursing home.
We usually have a lot of fun chatting.I always tell her that when she turns 100, her and I are going to strip, yeah, naked, and go through the halls of the nursing home! Today was different. She said something to me that hit the soft part of my heart, and hit it HARD. When I was leaving, I said to her: "now, you know, I'm always just a phone call away, and, if you have trouble calling, just ask someone here to call me for you....she said " ..but, what if I can't remember your name?"
