April 29, 2024 – It’s Not Where You Go…

Graduation is just around the corner. It certainly is in this household and I am separating the future reality from the bull. It is unfortunate that our kids spend at least 12 years in the school system just to get programmed with false information. In fact, the people that don’t take the straight path are sometimes the smartest.

April 22, 2024 – It Is Different This Time

Today is a darker than normal. I talk about the items that are different with my wife’s cancer battle. I cannot necessarily dwell on the wrong side of fate however for those that will go through it I think it is a unique perspective. It is a bit of a melancholic time. Hopefully that is understood and appreciated.

April 15, 2024 – Is It That Simple?

Sometimes an epiphany hits. The truth is that I thought this complicated issue was going to go the other way until I started looking at the history. All of the sudden I made a a 180 when I actually saw what was going on. The simple part was making the link between the problem and the result. Note: This podcast was recorded before the NAIA ruling on transgender athletes (4-8-24).

April 8, 2024 – Gotta Get Better

This is no toolbox fallacy, podcasting is what I am really up to. Unfortunately, it takes me too long to put one together. I enjoy the process and am happy to do it but for the time. I need to practice having less notes and still talking, making sense and not having too many fillers or pregnant pauses, especially in this difficult time. Bear with me as I practice with a story about how time is taken during this process.

April 1, 2024 – Don’t Be a Fool

I am trying to bridge the past and the current today using my way too extensive experience with pharmacies. It is a total mess and their financial books show it. My main point is there is always more to the story than what the story says. I guess I don’t have too much in the way of facts other than one plus one does not equal three.

March 25, 2024 – The Words You Never Want To Hear

Today is an emotional response to some recent developments. I talk about being an advocate for your own health and my own experience of the health care system. I have been saving this up until I get all of the right and proper details, but after a month of waiting I just couldn’t anymore. So, while this journey has already begun, it is early. Surely, there will be a lot more to come.

March 18, 2024 – What Will They Say?

Memorializing someone else’s life makes me evaluate my own. I can’t help that hearing about all the goodness that they exuded makes me wonder if I am up to the same standard. Today I relate a personal story in both my connection and my failures. You be the judge.

March 11, 2024 – Shogun and James Clavell

I am still keeping it light and finally short. I saw that there was a new mini-series from FX on Hulu that is inspired on Shogun by James Clavell. He is on my recommended read list but I have never talked about him or his work whatsoever. Today is a rundown on his work and what I like about it.

March 4, 2024 – Keeping It Light

This week I wanted to come up from the heaviness since the beginning of the year and that to come. I do some self analysis and draw some conclusions. Even though I am talking about me, I am pretty sure that what I am saying applies to everyone.
