Episode 57 falls during Valentine's week. So naturally it begins with the story of Cape Cod blowing up a lighthouse.  Bishop and Clerks Lighthouse sat off of the coast of Cape Cod for nearly a century.  It helped to guide vessels safely into various harbors.  Why was it then exploded in 1952?
For more than 20 episodes we've been following my epic 2,100-mile 2019 road trip.  This week is the finale of that trip and also a retrospective on what it was like doing so much traveling and what might be the next road trip.
In honor of Valentine's Day we go way Back In the Day as I share some of my first celebrity crushes.  Late 1980's to early 1990's, some of these might tug at the heart strings of guys my age, it's definitely a fun trip back in time.
What do you think of when you think of the 1990's?  This week's Top 5 focuses on Symbols of the 1990's.  These are some of the trends, fads, and pop culture events that defined my teenage decade.  Do you remember any of them?
There's a new This Week In History and Time Capsule surrounding the birthday of Michael Jordan!
