In case you are wondering, it is not a coincidence that our current book is Surprised By Joy by C.S. Lewis. That is because it is the holy season. I was hoping to end it here but clearly I got hung up in my own life and so we just got started. Nevertheless, today I make an argument for the true Christian holiday and the hope of eternal salvation.

March 16, 2026 – Oceana Has Always Been at War With Eastasia
You have believe that Orwell was going to come up again, how could it not? There is just so much always related to what is going on with current events and our government. This seems to be the ‘Newspeak’ that obfuscates our judgement, numbs our senses and polarizes our positions. Tune in today to hear Orwell’s words come back from the past.
March 9, 2026 – It is the Last
This is a swan song to my podcasting in my office. Man, I am going to miss this place when (if) we move. There very well may be one more podcast after today but I don’t know where I will record it. I expect that there will be a hiatus while we move so this is why this podcast is titled the last even though there is a chance it wont be. There is a brief mention of world politics but I use it as an illustration to my main theme; Do Things That Matter.
March 2, 2026 – It’s a First
Brace yourselves, this is my first podcast in my new office. Yes, the audio quality is not good at all. The room is super echo-y and I am on my Bluetooth headset for a microphone. That makes the resolution low to begin with, nevermind the acoustics. This is all about what I have been up to and I didn’t just seemingly disappear. That means that the podcast stays. I will work to make this better just not today.
January 26, 2025 – A Starter Home Tool Kit
Before you go to the supercenter and plunk down $50 on a substandard tool kit, consider spending twice that amount and get the tools that you will actually need and last a lifetime. Heck, buy a couple each month if budget is a concern. I give recommendations on where to shop, what to get and how to feel confident in the tools that you do have rather than a kit that never gets opened. You might find that you actually get into it, like me but at least you will have something that someone can help you if the need arises.
January 19, 2026 – The Truth is In the Middle
You might have been wondering where I am at such a polarizing time. That time has come. I comment on the Minneapolis, ICE shooting that occurred a couple of weeks ago. I also talk about history and how events of the Boston Massacre relate to this and what I think you should do about it, if anything. Remember, we should be doing what matters. Consider my words but keep on doing things that matter for the proper perspective.
January 12, 2025 – A Starter Mechanic’s Tool Set
Today’s podcast was born out of some question my son was asking me. Today I talk about things to consider when starting out buying tools. It is really hard to recommend brands especially when things change over the years so I focus more on the what to do versus what not to do. Hopefully, I impart some wisdom so that you can do your own analysis and make your own decisions. There probably are some buy or do not buy recommendations but it all depends on what you are doing and want to do in the future.
January 5, 2026 – Is Goal a Dirty Word?
We are in that time of year where a lot of people are thinking about ways to become a different person. You might call it a resolution or just a goal but despite the fact that our culture highly regards goals, I tend to think that they are not all they are cracked up to be. Goals have their place but what are they going to do for you and your future? Today I talk about the traps of goals and how to incorporate them into becoming the real person you want to be.
