Its new years eve, stop by the pub for a drink and make your new year's resolutions...or not, Mike's take on these is a bit different.  We can look forward to sending 2020 packing and hoping for a better version of life in 2021... but hope is not a good strategy... if you want a better year, you gotta go out, grab it by the...hair...and drag it back with you.  

Mike has a few thoughts on the state of Christmas.... and is Santa Claus really dying?  How did we get to this point and where can we go from here?  Grab a drink and join Mike by the fire to debate the pros and cons of how we currently celebrate the Christmas holiday.

Have you ever seen such divisions!  Seems like it's totally us or them...but what's really behind these divisions and are we stuck with them, or is there a way out.  Mike has one idea, so stop by the pub, grab a drink and lets talk.

Memories, what would life be like without them?  Why do we remember some things and not others.  What details do you recall, and why are some very clear and others hidden in shadows.  Let's talk about that, and a few of my friends will join us.  Oh, and don't forget to stop at the bar on your way in.

Of course music is very popular in the Pub, and typically all styles and genres are welcome, but I have a bit an issue with the way oldies Rock and Classic rock songs are being thrown around.  Come on and join me for an interesting discussion about this.

Time to get a bit philosophical here in the Pub.  Playing a a little game called "What If"... what if you turned right instead of left all those years ago.  what is you hadn't said what you did?  What would life be like, how do the little things that you give no thought to change life so dramatically years later?  Whats if you hadn't listened to podcast?  

The US national embarrassment is on his way out... more than 75 million Americans did "the right" thing and sent that asshole packing.  Now American is as divided as ever.. can we get past the I'm right, your wrong mindset? (maybe not if your a MAGA hat wearing idiot)...but hell, I try.  Come on in, we're socially distanced here at the Pub, and the bar is open...

Get a mental picture of what the Raven & Thistle is like as you get a quick tour of the Pub and join Mike for a quick chat.  For sure 2020 sucks, and if its not politics its Pandemics...so can we talk about something else for a few minutes?  Sports?, Whisky?, Uppity women?.... yeah that might do.
