Episode 17 - about multi-generational friendships, Halloween costumes of the past, and a pet piranha named Meatball

This one takes an unexpected emotional turn discussing heroes specific to us and the blessing of multi-generational friendship. We find out who reigned as regional champions in the 80s at the Hagerstown Mummers’ Parade, reflect on Halloween costumes of the past, talk about pets and dig up some memories about a friend’s pet piranha named Meatball.

Show notes: Sides of the couch, unity and listeners

Do you have a memory of a favorite childhood Halloween costume of your own and/or is there a Halloween costume either of our kids have been in that you are particularly fond of?
