Ruminations from the Red Room

Thanks For being my Mom

From The Red Room welcomes my Mom. This is the story of how in 1976, an extra baby was floating around, and a young couple who was up to that point unable to have a child, took him away from a life in the circus to a happy home. Might not have been a circus. We don't know. There's still a certain amount of mystery. I was lucky to grow up with such role models, as my mother and father. Mom worked hard her whole life, from her youth in a small farming community, and family, to side by side with my father as they built a family and a business. Bold, and supportive, she tried to guide her children the best way she knew how; with love and encouragement, and heart and head for hard work. Like anyone's life, mine could have gone many different ways, and I could be a million different places today, but I'll remain eternally grateful that she's my mom, and this spare baby found a home with them.

... and somehow, we still get in a Star Wars story.

Part 2-We can talk. Charlie takes the car out on memory lane and puts the pedal down. It’s our verbal s’mores around this digital campfire. It’s heavy, and personal. What difference to even one individual the podcast might make; we’re taking it across country when C moves to New Orleans; how life’s trials temper you, or break you; the forging of a defiant spirit; This One is long, it had to be. I’m glad it is. I love these guys. Thanks for conversation, and honesty.

Production note: The volume again is in flux. Better than last time, tried very hard to boost Charlie and keep it in check. This was chronologically our 2nd attempt at the podcast, so thanks for the patience. I think this one was worth the wait.

We chat, at length, about family and demystifying our idols. Mitch and Charlie talk about being the short guy. The conversation heads into a place where we wonder if we're living up to the legacy of our fathers, and what we may leave behind even if it's just these words. We have varying traumatic events, some more than others. Charlie's track is super quiet, sorry about that, but if ya listen at home, or on headphones, you'll hear some stories well worth the attentive ear.

DC vs. Marvel. What's your favorite graphic novel of all time? Favorite movie? What makes one a DC fan or a Marvel fan? Who makes the decisions on the big films of our day. Can we get back to the original questions? We run the gamut in this double episode.

Mitch and James share thoughts on Star Wars eternal and the course of franchises that thrill us, and the ones that let us down. We take adventures in the wide world of film festivals and wonder if it's a good idea to meet your idols, and who would leave you starstruck?

Mitch and Guillermo don't dissect, or deconstruct in this episode of From The Red Room. It's two long-time fans, taking in the first sights, and sounds of an adventure both familiar, and new. So much to come, and we'll dig deeper as we get our footing. Just glad to back in those big, majestic, pines.

We get a formal welcome to the Red Room. We are breaking down the wandering conversations into categories; Ruminations, Reminiscence, and Reflections....Category 4 to come. The velvet curtains in which we wrap ourselves, drifting in, and out, of the Red Room.

The Red Room will have many visitors. Many stories, many discussions, many revelations....or so we hope. We chat with Ryan about origins again, what might make a good podcast, and being a good person. There are no right answers, and we're just glad to have friends with us on our thin raft.

Mitch and Charlie share a concrete bond...the strange perceptions of the refined that are sometimes not, and we keep coming back to this table. We should all talk more, we should listen more, and every now and again, try walking in someone else's shoes; it's likely not what you think it's like.

For me, friends come in all shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds, state-of-drunkeness, and cultures... But they have to have heart. There is something at work here, and heads up, these episodes run the gamut; funny, heartbreaking, honest, sarcastic...it's mining for meaning.
