As I approach my 60th birthday at the end of this year on December 21, I thought it would be fun to share some memories of my life. In this episode I’m talking about some memories from my early years in the early 1970s definitely what I consider the good old days.

In this episode I’m talking about my early experiences in movie watching. Being raised in the late 1960’s-1975 there weren’t a lot of tv channels. So most of my movie watching experiences came from watching tv on local channels on a small black and white tv. In 1976 came cable tv, which opened me up to a lot more movies. By 1978, I got to watch them in full color. In 1979, I got to see my first major motion picture at the theatre.

Ah, Southern Illinois weather. In the winter months, you can freeze and sweat in the same day. It’ll be 80 one day and it might snow the next. Sometimes it rains for weeks, then it’s dry for months. Winter around here is the most unpredictable time of the year.

My annual New Year podcast. Reviewing the old year and my hopes for the new year!

Special podcast about my birthday and Christmas and all kinds of other stuff.

Talking about things I’m thankful for.

Stories, movie recommendations, local hauntings(or not) and a lot more!

One of my co-workers quickly runs away when I start to tell a story and exclaims “It’s Story Time again!” Anyways, I thought I would just tell some stories about my time away from podcasting and an update on my health. It’s all in fun for the most part. I hope you enjoy it!

I was inspired by a friends pictures of her 5 year old son going to kindergarten to do a podcast about when I entered kindergarten and how I realized that it wasn’t just a big step for me, but a big, emotional step for my mom watching her youngest child enter into school. It was an interesting time in my life, full of wonder and first time experiences. I was called “Brubby” at home but at school I was “Leonard”.

Special edition of my podcast. I’m celebrating 35 years of my job at the little convenience store on the corner of two highways. I started there on July 11, 1990 as a skinny 23 year old. It’s been way more than a job. I’ve made so many friends in all these years.
