Donald Trump knows how to run a talent show. He's built a career out of them -- in addition to careers as real estate mogul and president of the United States.

Dear Annie: I've been happily married for over 12 years, but lately, I've noticed a growing distance between my husband 'Bryan' and me. He's always been a bit of a workaholic, but it's gotten to the point where even on weekends, he's either at the office or on his phone dealing with work-related issues. We used to enjoy things like hiking and trying new restaurants together, but now it seems like he has no energy or interest. The times I have been able to convince him to do something for fun, it hasn't been fun at all because he's on his phone checking emails the whole time.

Here we are in Times Square. Maniac lights flash across all horizons. Minnie Mouse and Spider- Man are making the rounds. Packed tour buses inch below the scary headlines orbiting the ABC News building.

Dear Annie: I have my 20-year high school reunion coming up, and I'm planning to go, as it's a major milestone reunion and we've lost some people over the years. However, I will be running into some issues with it. The biggest issue is that I am in ongoing therapy for sexual assaults that happened in high school back in the early 2000s, and the response from the school officials was quite firmly in the 'boys will be boys, deal with it' era.

Earl Proulx's wonderful book 'Yankee Home Hints' is bursting with tips for cheap, easy, quick home cleaning. I could sit for hours reading this classic tome.

The Vetoes Just Keep Coming: The most recent Kelly vetoes are SB 172, the Kansas Land and Military Installation Protection Act and SB 232, legislation requiring all costs be considered when holding deadbeat dads responsible for their children. For more than two years I’ve communicated the need to pass legislation to protect Kansas from having its land gobbled up by America’s adversaries – China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela.

Dear Annie: I have a younger co-worker who I met at a work social event, and we started talking a bit about novels we are writing as a hobby. A few weeks later, he came by my cubicle to ask me more about writing, so I gave him a few resources to a local writers group. Ever since then, he keeps stopping by, often interrupting my lunchtime.

Headlines are now filled with names reported to be on Donald Trump's 'shortlist' of possible VP candidates. These individuals, some of whom I know, indeed have serious qualifications and experience and are appropriate to be considered for the No.

As a teenager, I loved driving around Independence, a pastime I never outgrew. Douglas will tell you I cannot drive a straight route from point A to B; rather, I say I need to “check things out.” Therefore, I discovered two businesses that deserve kudos for their attractive presence on entry ways to Independence.
