To experience large amounts of pain on a consistent and long term basis has been quite the life experience and lesson.

In my home growing up we watched a lot of Television and we cooked a lot of food as Family Traditions.

One night I went out to a casino to shoot a bit of dice. What happened on that dice table can be considered a miracle!!

After a 5-day 1600 miles round trip rode trip to get raw olives, all I have done in my spare time is crack and pit olives, look for the supplies we need to process this amount, and try to live in an apartment that now looks like an olive factory.

A simple interview with my mother about why we drove 1600 miles roundtrip to pick up 100 pounds of raw olives.

Right now it is Tuesday night, October 12th. As I get ready to upload this podcast I am also preparing to go on "An Olive Road Trip" with my mother.

This podcast is about a night I spent in Cesky Krumlov. This is a small tourist city of about 30,000 people. It is famous for its 13th century castle and 17th century Baroque theater.

Back in the early 1990s I was going to a lot of Grateful Dead Shows.
