Big Talk Thursday
My guest tonight on Big Talk will be Adria Nassim, Bloomington’s maven of autism. We’ll learn a little bit about what it was like growing up on the spectrum. BTW, Adria’s service dog, Lu, will be in the studio with us. Lu’ll sign off for the show as only a pooch can.
Big Talk is a Feature of WFHB News and appears every Thursday on the Daily Local News at 5:30pm. The feature usually begins sometime around 5:45, so don’t be late. And, if perchance you miss the show (tsk), you can always catch it online on the WFHB News/Features page.
Adria & Lu

See you tonight, babies.

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner

The poll question is posed: Would you be unhappy if your son or daughter married a member or fan of the opposing party or team? The results tell us something about how we view “the enemy” — any “enemy.”

That’s all. Now lemme go write a couple of stories for which I’m up against deadlines, wouldya?
