Today on the show was remarkable 11 year old, Jacob Brockhoff.  Jacob was born with a heart condition known as Tetrology of Fallot.  Jacob underwent his first open heart surgery when he was just 3 days old and is currently one month post op from another life-preserving open heart operation.  Not only is Jacob one tough cookie, he is also an artist!  As Jacob told us today on the Bonnie Hunt Show, one day he was “bugging his mom, and she told him to go draw something.”  Well, he did just that and ended up starting his own business with the skateboard design he created.  He donates 2/3 of the proceeds to cardiac organizations such as the American Heart Association and American Heart Heros.  If you’re in the market for a new skateboard, definitely check this one out!  You can order one online, and if you happen to be near Bradenton, Flordia you can stop in the Champs Sports store in the Desoto Square Mall to get a one of a kind t-shirt.  You better believe I’ll be stopping in the next time I’m in southern Florida!  To conclude the show Bonnie brought in special guest Rob Dydrek, Jacob’s favorite pro-skater, who adorned Jacob with some new DC skater shoes among other skater parafanalia.  For more info on Broken Hart Boards, click here.  If Jacob Brockhoff doesn’t make you want to work in Pediatric Cardiology, I don’t know what would!

Thanks for being such a trooper Jacob!  You Rock!!

I visiting the Scenic 90 Cafe at brunch time on a Saturday morning.  I was able to enjoy the Portobello Sunrise breakfast while my dining partner sampled the lunchtime special: A Triple Decker Club served with crisy, seasoned homefries.  Both selections were very tasty and satisfying.  Patrons of the Scenic Cafe can also enjoy the rare favorite of Liver and Onions, or indulge with an Old-Fashioned Handmade Malt or Shake.  They offer daily specials, most of which are comfort food favorites just like Mom used to make.  The Scenic 90 Cafe offers a nice selection of beer also, perfect for those of us who enjoy a cold one with dinner.  Check out the website for the full menu, and be sure to visit Scenic 90 Cafe on your next trip to Pensacola, Florida!
