2w ago00:33:11Tap to summarizeIn today's show, the Eyres express their desire to give the essence of their new book to podcast listeners before the book's release in the Fall.

Jun 1300:31:06Tap to summarizeThe Eyre's had a grandson return home from his mission today! They will resume their regular schedule next week. (Rerun, 06/07/25) In this episode, the Eyres apply the sports or music term "score" to life and to its phases.
