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? Liz teaches her parents how to get Movies On Demand from their cable box.  She's not hopeful that the lesson stuck. Julie has quick news update on North Korea, 

Julie, Liz and Monica tackle the world one cup of coffee at a time. First, news on how to sign up for the Satellite Sisters Challenge. 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. Then, hey Secret Service.  What's the deal?  Really? Julie has some home remedies she'd like to run by our staff R.N. Monica which gives Liz an opening for a glute activation update. 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 infor

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."
