    225: PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW

    Send a text Here's the totally unedited video version. Hard to believe but the Bucks are galloping (hobbling?) into the sunset. After 225 shows, thousands of laughs and more than a few tears, Dave and Del are headed for new worlds to explore, new mountains to conquer, and new coffee shops. It really has been a fun journey and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.  We've created our own little community of loyal listeners (that's you) and we've always appreciated your insights and opinions. As Del often said, "It's all about friendship." As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." As the girl from the north country said, "Bonne soirée." Here are some of our most popular episodes if you're a new listener or even an old listener: 118: Bridey Thelen-Heidel 122: Phoenix, the Wounded Ukrainian Doctor 84:Judge Clarance Jones 151: Tahoe Toogie 213:Mahesh Patel 135:Frank Young 224: Craig Benjamin So many episodes, so little time.  We couldn't patch this onto the end of our recording but it is worth as listen. It was written by Don Henley and Bruce Hornsby. Tell us what it means to you. It's called The End of the Innocence. If you need a mellower song to drift away on, try Groovin' Call a friend today. Better yet, hug a friend today.  Best from the Bucks.

    218: Bucks interview Curtis Weber, a retiree now teaching English to immigrants

    Send a text Maybe retirement is a time to kick back  and relax and that's fine. But it wasn't enough for Curtis Weber, a retired educator who relocated to Sarasota and now teaches English to non-English-speaking immigrants who have also found a new life in the area. Curtis teaches advanced English classes at the Sarasota Technical College where his students range in age from 17 to 83.  He's had students from 30 countries with diverse backgrounds from cardiologist to ship captain. Send us your questions or comments, we'd love to hear your feelings on this topic. Dave in editing apologizes for the subpar audio quality of this episode. Del is putting him on probation. Yikes! This week's bonus track was written by Graham Nash. It seems to fit.
