Folks, the timing of this episode couldn't be any more perfect.  With Memorial Day still in our thoughts, we bring to you a very special person and guest on the show.  He's a man of character and a WWII veteran that has compelling stories to share.  Stories like the fact that even though he's been the subject of countless incidents of racism and prejudice, his passion for life and unwavering patriotism for the United States of America is something we can all learn from.  It was an honor and privilege, to sit down with Norm in person.  Sir, thank you for your service...and for teaching all of us, something about life.  Tune in Kin!  SALUD!!!

In this episode, we cover questions about the state of the world.  Is it Chaos theory at play?  If it is, we share some of our opinions on how to deal with it all, getting in the mindset to find your right body, mind and spirit.  We also cover the latest news in pugilism, AKA boxing and MMA, with commentary on the recent bouts between Canelo/Bivol and Ferguson/Chandler!  It’s a fun ride this cast!  And of course, it wouldn't be us without dropping in Drams and Laughs to boot!  Here’s to hoping you enjoy…  SALUD!!!
