When it’s extremely difficult to make up your mind.  Having the power of choice can actually weaken someone.  On this episode we’re going to put focus making the best choice to eat or pay rent.  Roof versus your gut.  Plus…if we’ve created a war in Iran why won’t we stop the killing on our own streets in the U.S.? I’m Arroe.  Life is a series of choices.  Who decides when you’re not making it the right choice?  Is it the fear of going wrong?  The greatest lessons in life are often lost inside hidden away attempts and concepts.  It’s time to reopen your heart. Having a choice is a daily gift.  On this highway we learn to trust mirages… What is the choice?

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why do older people evolve into huggers?  Plus…learning how to accept the idea that you’re becoming a hugger.    I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Those things we say. So much of it arrived two to three hundred years ago. Yet it seems so new today. One such phrase is don't bite off more than what you can chew. Where does it come from?

It happens all the time. Your podcast guest is a no call no show. Don't let it get you down. It's not your loss. It's theirs. How do you know if it's about rescheduling? I play by the three-time rule. What does that even mean? How should you act and react and can it put the podcast host on a bad list? Sure...watch what you say and how you react moving forward.

On a storm-lashed night in May 1832, the American whaleship Mentor struck a reef near the Palau Islands, splintering its crew and setting off a chain of events that would unfold over years and across multiple Pacific islands. As Dolin vividly reconstructs, the wreck shattered not only the ship, but the rigid hierarchies of life at sea: authority collapsed, loyalties fractured, and survival demanded impossible choices. Some men fled into the darkness. Others clung to the wreckage, unsure whether rescue or death awaited them.Drawing on extensive archival research, sailors’ journals, Indigenous accounts, and oral histories, The Wreck of the Mentor becomes far more than a shipwreck tale. It is a sweeping narrative of cross-cultural encounter, moral ambiguity, and the long aftershocks of first contact reverberations that ultimately reached back to the United States through diplomatic crises, violence, and debates over justice and responsibility.Eric Jay Dolin is the author of seventeen acclaimed books on nautical and maritime history, including Leviathan, Black Flags, Blue Waters, Rebels at Sea, and A Furious Sky. His work has won many of the field’s top honors, including the John Lyman Award for U.S. Maritime History and the Samuel Eliot Morison Book Award for Naval Literature, and has been named a “must read” by the Massachusetts Center for the Book. Dolin lives in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and is known for bringing complex maritime history to life with narrative drive, clarity, and dramatic tension.

In Ain't Nobody's Fool: The Life and Times of Dolly Parton, Martha Ackmann chronicles the life of an American Original. From her impoverished childhood in the Smoky Mountains to international stardom as a singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist, Dolly Parton has exceeded everyone's expectations except her own. During a time when the Beatles set the standard for contemporary music, Dolly appeared on a local country music television show that her high school classmates thought was pure cornpone. The day after her high school graduation, she boarded a bus for Nashville, but record executives turned her down. One said her voice sounded like a screech owl.When Dolly finally got her foot in the door, her talent and focus catapulted her to the top of country charts, the pop world, and movie stardom. Yet her success came at a price. Shunned by many in Nashville who saw her ambition as a betrayal of her country music roots, Dolly became the target of death threats, lawsuits, and a judge who threatened to throw her in jail. She nearly collapsed on-stage and later succumbed to depression that pushed her to the brink, but she refused to be counted out and came back stronger than ever developing Dollywood, the amusement park that became the economic engine of East Tennessee, and founding the Imagination Library that provides free books to children around the world. Her philanthropy to health organizations led to creation of the Moderna COVID vaccine. And, finally, she returned to her roots, recording bluegrass albums that became the most celebrated of her unparalleled 60-year career.Ain't Nobody's Fool is a deep dive into the social, historical, and personal forces that made Dolly Parton one of the most beloved and unifying figures in public life and includes interviews with friends, family members, school mates, Nashville neighbors, members of her band, studio musicians, producers, and many others. It also features never before seen photographs and unearthed documents shedding light on her family's hardscrabble life. More than anything, Martha Ackmann's fresh and animated new book proves Dolly Parton knows just who she is and she ain't nobody's fool.
