My oldest son plays college lacrosse. At the beginning of every pre-season, they go through an arduous, demanding, physical trial they refer to as “Medicine.” As in “Take your.” The idea is that it is grueling and uncomfortable, especially after an off-season of summer fun and excesses. It isn’t pleasant.…

I want to start off with a disclaimer. It should be made abundantly clear that I’m not all that smart. In this blog, I’ll mention some things that sound like I have a higher opinion of myself (and my brain) than I really do. I don’t want to come across…

Continue reading →: The Velociraptor Incident: An Oral HistoryTen years ago, I lost the last radio gig I’ll likely ever have. To this day, people ask me about it. That’s flattering as hell, by the way. It’s nice to know that there were actually people invested in what we jocks were doing on and off the air. By…

Continue reading →: Clock Watching During QuarantineEarlier today, I sat on the couch with my wife, taking a break. See, in work from home mode, things are fluid. I’d been answering emails all morning (such tiring work, really.) I mentioned being hungry, to which she replied “then get something to eat!” I checked my watch. 11:30…
