December 5, 2023 – Real, Real Disappointment

I wrote and recorded yesterday’s podcast over a week ago. Since that time, more saga has developed. It was enough with enough to say that I didn’t want to go another week or have two weeks in a row of college football as the primary discussion point. So, you get two podcasts this week.

December 4, 2023 – Real Disappointment

Sports fans like to fanaticize that there are so many life lessons in participation. Sure, I agree on the surface level that those can be the case. But, sports fans also like to fanaticize that their support of a team does something as well. Don’t get caught up in that trap, this is almost where I went too.

This in turn revealed the source of some internal turmoil and made some sense out of it for me. If you are like me, then maybe it will be for you too.

October 9, 2023 – How to Keep From Getting Old

I think that we all want to be comfortable. It’s OK to take advantage of the experience that we have hard earned. After all, why not benefit from the work we have done? It’s not OK to never learn anything again. I know, it is hard to step outside when it is cold and raining and do the hard work but it is necessary for us to continue to push boundaries and keep trying if we want to stay young.
