Julie and Liz are together on the show today sharing the Satellite Sisters experience on moving their father to an Alzheimer's Care Center just a week ago.  It's been a wrenching week for the whole family, but with a few moments of humor (of course!). Who would have guessed our mother's building would be surrounded by a SWAT team complete with choppers the very same week?  When it rains, it pours, people.

Sheila, Monica, Julie and Liz tackle the world one cup of coffee at a time: Sheila and Liz have a complete report on Bruce Springsteen in Los Angeles.  Sheila went Thursday night.  Liz went Friday night.  It's tempting to just get on that Wrecking Ball tour. Our Satellite Sisters Nike+ Walking and Running Challenge is getting loads of uptake from you.  Thanks, Sisters!  Keep up the good work. Julie has a major Commencement today.  The English language students she's been teaching have their big graduation ceremony. It's a moment to reminisce about Dolan family graduations gone by.  There was a definite protocol that developed over the years. Monica has a medical update from last week. Turns out its true that mustard and picke juice are good for you. Who knew? Sheila reviews Darling Companion.  Doesn't love it.  Could it be that she's not a dog lover?

If you want to walk and run with us over the next three months, there's still plenty of time to sign up.  Directions on the show and on our Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.  Monica and Julie both got on board this week.

Monica has a book confession.  Julie has a TV confession.  And Liz has a sports confession.  Despite her best efforts to provide a nice quiet afternoon for their father the Red Sox fan, the usual family divisions cropped up when the Yankees proceeded to crush them at Fenway Park on Saturday. After crushing them on Friday too. And finally, Monica remembers Levon Helm of The Band.  He died this week.  We end with a small musical salute.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Monica wants to be sure we understand the difference between these two movies:  Jeff, Who LIves At Home and We Need To Talk About Kevin. She liked them both, but for VERY different reasons. Liz launches a Nike+ fintess challenge for all.  Get the details on our Facebook Group page and join up.  On a related note, Liz makes her first ever visit to a chiropractor.  Apparently, she is not adequately "activating her glutes."
