Sunday Morning Coming Down

The docks are coming out, and Tally’s is closing for the season—so, summer is officially over, even if John still plans to listen to a few more Vikings games on the water.  He also remembers popsicles being way bigger. 

John gets a wake-up call with a car accident, wonders if he’s turning into a Progressive ad, and is hard at work making the concert t-shirt (or Wiki page) for his annual guy’s trip. 

John is home alone, but surprisingly has yet to order Domino’s pizza. He shares wisdom from a progressive junior hockey coach, reminds all online gamblers the importance of visiting the pay window, and learns that oil and water still don’t mix. 

It’s early Fall, and John is wondering if cream cheese has been pigeonholed, if karma is real, and how to avoid zebra mussel small talk at all costs. He also played catch, so there’s that. 

It’s a three-day weekend, John’s son is home, College GameDay is back on the air. All that’s left to decide is if we should go on the boat, or to the Fair. A good problem to have. 

John is live from the Minnesotan booth at the State Fair. Enjoy a candid conversation about steak salads, screw-ups, and wisdom from an entrepreneur. 

John’s summer of pontoon pandemonium continues, with a fresh new situation. He wonders how much his life would improve if he could just outsource everything he’s not good at, and he visits Irish Fest. 

John contemplates midlife frustration, dissatisfaction, while finding at least partial answers from an old movie, and Bill Murray. He also misses Shinders. 

There’s always bucketfuls of wisdom when Red Cooler Ronnie is around, and 18 holes was enough for John to collect a few bumper stickers. Also, don’t schedule colonoscopies during summer. 

John drives more hours than a trucker legally can and attempts to thread the needle on 12 flights in one week. But he still has time to remind us to dance and see the person everyone else sees when you look in the mirror.
