Once again I walk home via Van Houten Avenue in Clifton, NJ. Here I give a detailed account of all the local businesses on this road in the Athenia section of Clifton, New Jersey. Topics discussed include an update on "The Miracle Man" film I am working on about Morris Goodman, Edible Arrangements, Mario's Pizzeria, Carvel, Van Houten Pharmacy, Dingo's Den & Dingbatz, PSE&G, Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center," Digital Cafe Tour, Carrie Engdahl, Van Houten Lanes, Dunkin Donuts, Food Basics, and I plug all of my friends' shows too.

BJS027: And So Began Our Three Day Journey

A double-reference to the great and wonderful "Weird Al" Yankovic! In this episode I discuss the mysterious "27" phenomenon associated with "Weird Al," as well as my family's three-day trip to Virginia last week. I also announce officially that I am writing a screenplay based on the life of Morris E. Goodman, a.k.a. "The Miracle Man," (as seen in "The Secret"), and describe my meeting with him, which was one of the catalysts for my trip. I also remark how things are ironically happening about an hour earlier on this, the day before Daylight Savings Time begins. Once again, special thanks to Frank Nora of The Overnightscape Underground at http://onsug.com, and Wayne from Spare Time Radio for his encouragement.

Enjoy!
