HAT Excursus 8:For every inscrutable happenstance. After each and every head-scratching act of fatuity. Following the most insipid of banalities. To each and every glassy-eyed, thoughtless, narcissistic, self-indulgent, dim-witted, semi-literate, unfledged, reckless, ludicrously asinine, and galactically ignorant juvenile folly ricocheting about this lunatic habitat… I have three words. Please be kidding.You all know I make every effort to keep things G or PG. Today is not one of those days. I will not apologize for expressing myself with such pique, but I will warn you if sensitive ears may be around. I respect your space.

From Studio D in the heart of the South Carolina Lowcountry…    Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good day to you around the globe, Here’s A Thing family. I hope this message finds you truly well and joyful AND healthy. Coming up is the encore presentation of yesterday’s second live episode of Here’s A Thing. I call it the Wine & Whiskey Hour for those who have put the small, loud people to bed and want to sit back with some brown water or a glass or three of Cabernet and simply chill. The following hour of radio-adjacent nonsense is dedicated to the principle of intentional distraction.Once again, I beseech you you utilize this time… this universal pause… to read, write, think, speak, and listen. Be still. Be calm. That’s what the live shows are about. If you’d like to chill for an hour or so and listen to general chatter about this and that, then join me for the live episodes of Here’s A Thing. And, if you haven’t done so already, please subscribe or follow and download my past and future daily episodes about elevating life to a higher plane.As always, I thank you for your time and remind you to be nothing more complicated than authentic. Enjoy the show and I’ll see you back in this space tomorrow.

Actually, it’s the first of two live shows I hosted yesterday and I’ll post the second hour soon. With a nod to diversion, my goal with the live episodes of Here’s A Thing is to simply do nothing more than meander through thoughts and conversations to wherever they may lead.Though we’re all on a giant ersatz break from the regular machinations of society, we’re actually closer to what the universe intended. Use this time to read, write, think, speak, and listen. Be still. Be calm. That’s what the live shows are about.

HAT 28: Vulgarity: Thy God & Nature          Crass, coarse, low, street, base, crude, boorish, indecent, indecorous, inhospitable, nasty, obscene, rude, ridiculous, tasteless, tacky, tawdry, dense, unrefined, loutish, and lowbrow. At what point in society’s arc did we settle on vulgarity as the universal homeostasis? Well… HERE’S A THING.

Thanks for hanging with me through the craziness. I got back behind the mic yesterday for a live episode. Enjoy my ramblings and I'll talk to you shortly with new and edgy topics like... how do you eat a Pop Tart? Edges first and save the center? Or just mow it down.

HAT 27: What Kind Of Neighbor Are You?      It isn’t about class or race or culture. It isn’t about rules, regulations, and standards. It’s not about where you come from and how they did things there. It has nothing to do with enforcement, dominance, or demands. Nor is it about reprimand, reproach, and submission. What IS it about? Well… HERE’S A THING.Become A HAT Patron
