Your Package is in Bay Three
It's weird as a person in his fifties who loves technology. I find it cool, and it scares me to death. Today I share a story about picking up a package the day after I delivered it at the Amazon pick-up center.
Beware of Math
I have found when you start doing math to see if you can eat or afford something. When this happens you may be very close to doing something that you regret. I saw the peloton bike and then read about the which is "cheaper" but still an arm and...
Blizzard of Ozz
This is the album that introduced me to Randy Rhoads. Randy WAS MY DUDE. I LOVED the mixture of classic and heavy metal, and I learned every note on every record. It took me hours, but I did it. When Randy died in 1982 it wrecked me. My hero was...
Kiss Alive I
I'm 11 years old in Mrs. Lewis' class who was the coolest teacher ever. Everyone had gone out to recess but me and my best friend grabbed the little record player and cranked it up to 10, and through the distorted speaker I head these things on the...
Let there be rock
My first concert was the World Series of Rock July 28, 1979 But I saw Angus Young and was like WHAT? and that lead me to buying a Gibson SG. I bought everything they did, and LET THERE BE ROCK where every song is great, and I just played the...
Ride the Lightning
I saw a band open for Ozzy I had never heard of, and MAN WERE THEY HEAVY. I immediately went out to buy their album. There was only one problem. My ears could not comprehend what I was hearing. At times it sounded like someone making fun of...
Courage is a Decision
Fear is a reaction - courage is a decision a fluke of getting up early is my catalyst. Planting your flag can make it easier to move I'm playing with Start your own wager

I'm a Sh*tty Friend
I had a second family in my early twenties. Post Mom, they were my cheerleaders, my support group, and all-around second family. Over the years different insecure girlfriends steered me away, and we lost touch. With divorce number two under my...

Thinking of the rubber bowl, and remembering some interesting times there. It was a huge (for Akron) stadium
The Not So Great Pumpkin
I watched the "Its the great pumpkin charlie brown" special as I do every year, and I was surprised at how scattered, and in general, "Not good" this special was.
National Podcast Post Month
I'm going to try to put together 30 days straight for National Podcast Post Month
A Very Good Week
It's weird how we remember things that hurt us in living color. These vivid memories never seem to fade away like old polaroid pictures. I've shared some stories in the past that sound like pity parties, but today (realizing this) I wanted to...
I Got No Problem With Jesus
Christians are known for being: Judgemental Disliking Homosexuality Asking for Money So when I see a church that pushes the stereotype it drives me nuts as none of the above is biblical. Sure homosexuality is mentioned seven times in the bible,...
Moments of Awkwardness
So my ex-wife calls me and wants me to be an escort to a meetup party at a normally off-limits room at the House of Blues in Cleveland. This is one of those parties like "40 and Fabulous" or for me "Fat, Fifty, and Frisky" - you get the idea. I have...
Night at the Bondage Barn
So my friend Master Kuldryn invited me to go to a Dungeon in Orlando Florida. While I didn't originally want to go, a few of my friends decided it would be a hoot, and as an investigative reporter, I decided to support my friend and check out his...
Treading Water
I was in a meeting with some people preparing for a podcast roast. Last year they were roasting me, this year we're roasting John Lee Dumas. This made me reflect on where I was last year, and where I am this year. So I thought about: Weight Loss...
We’ve Always Done It This Way
Today at my church they are having a children's program. There is only one problem. We only have one child, and “Child's Program” doesn't roll off the tongue. Why would you have a children's program when you only have one? The only reason I can...
What I Did on My Summer Vacation
I had a great time in Australia. I really miss those people I was asked to speak in Australia. This is one event that I had to pick up the ticket, and it was worth every penny. I had to give up control I got to do new things I have never done I...
Bohemian Rhapsody For the Win
My first time I ran into someone speaking in Tounges I was working as a Janitor for the church I was attending. It freaked me out. I thought the guy was having a seizure. I started attending a different church, and they made it sound like I...
