A new survey of 2,000 Americans finds that 2 in 3 dog owners cook special meals just for their pet.

- I don’t mean to brag, but I make a mean Pup-peroni Pizza!

Speaking of good eats… Campbells Soup is changing the design of it’s cans for the first time in 50 years to make the label more “Modern”.

Facebook is now allowing people to conduct religious services on their streaming platform… and, for a fee, will help Churches, Synagogues and Mosques find new ways to raise money.

There’s a new movement to remove police from NYC schools to make them more “Healing-Centered'.

- Here’s an idea… how about we try making schools “LEARNING CENTERED” and see how that works out?

- In my day, we didn’t need Cops in school… we had the Principal’s secretary - MRS. SILVERTHORN. She was the one at George Washington Elementary School who decided who had to sit on the dreaded “Blue Bench” in the hallway - the place of shame -where everybody walking by looked at you like you were a juvenile delinquent. Even my parents were afraid of her.

- But she still wasn’t as bad as my History teacher and Varsity Football Coach, Jules Yakapovitch. I got caught talking during Study Hall.. and Mr. Y told me to “Shut up”. I kept talking so he hit me over the head with a heavy book. I kept talking (of course) so he walked over, picked up my desk (with me in it) about a foot in the air - and dropped it. It was then that I “Shut up”!!!

A study by Northwestern University found that the more money you make, the longer you'll live.

- According to the Bible, Methuselah lived to be 969... He must have had one heckuva financial advisor!

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Wednesday!
