We start out this Podcast with some Fanmail we received on our recent Veterans Podcast, our new 25 MPH Speed Limit signs, and using Zelle for payments for our Men's Club Dues and events.

Did everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving? This leads Phil, Joe B, and Jay into a discussion on eating at restaurants, sharing meals, and doggy bags. Should Seniors be allowed to order off the Kids Menus? What do you think?

Ron D. brings us What's Happening 'Round Our Neighborhood. Joe B. has his "Did You Know?" and "Just in Case", and what would our Podcast be without Richie, our Standup Comic.

When we usually refer to holidays in the month of November, many will think of Thanksgiving Day. But November 11 is Veterans Day when we give thanks to our friends, family, and all of the men and women who have served our country in the military both in wartime and in peacetime.

A few of our Baymen Men's Club veterans stopped in to talk to Phil including John Thorson, Hal Ciser, Wayne Hesse, and Bill Gillis. They discuss when and where they served, difficult times, and how they were received when they came back home.

John Thorson also talks about our Men's Club Veterans Committee and our Veterans Memorial out in front of the clubhouse.

And Ron brings us the events 'Around the Neighborhood' in the coming months.

Our Baymen Men's Club dues are due and Phil, Joe B, and Alex Mesequer recommend paying your dues using Zelle.

Concerned with some of the emails you receive and the possibilities of some being scams? They continue their conversation and point out how to easily detect on your phone if one of these emails may be a scam.

Ron brings us what's happening Around the Neighborhood with events in our community in the coming month.

Earlier this year, Tom Valledolmo interviewed Bob Golon, our friend, fellow Baymen Men’s Club member, and a Sports Historian in our Community. In this Podcast interview, the roles are reversed and Bob interviews Tom, our friend, a Baymen Men’s Club Member, and also one of our very knowledgeable sports authorities in our community. Tom and Jay Knego frequently host a podcast segment we refer to as “Two Guys Talking Sports” where they have discussed their Major League Baseball and National Football League Pre-Season Predictions.

Tom had an over-40-year career as a sports journalist with several major newspapers in New York and on Staten Island, most notably the New York Post. He covered both major league and college events many of us either witnessed live, watched on TV, or read about in the newspapers. Little did we know that we were reading Tom’s reporting of these events.

We hope you enjoy it.

This summer Phil spent some time talking with Cindy Varamo, the Grounds and Landscape Committee Chairperson in our community.

Cindy also has another passion. As a volunteer for the past few years, Cindy has been involved with the “Save the Turtles” campaign and set up her ‘outdoor office’ on Great Bay Blvd. Her mission is to protect the turtles, or terrapins as they are referred to here, during their migration period which includes protecting them from passings cars and bicycles, natural predators, and building caged, individual dwellings for each terrapin.

Listen to Cindy tell her story, and possibly encourage you to get involved in this noble cause.

Why did the turtle cross the road? Listen and find out.
