On a long and lonesome highway, north of Atlanta-ha, Dave has time to think about the past week and what his 40th reunion taught him.

On very special Thousand Word Midlife Crisis, Dave comes to terms with who he is and buys beef jerky.

On the night of the actual reunion, Dave is hit with some sobering news and publicly noise shamed.

As Dave takes a tour of his old school and eats some very fried food, he remembers his time served at Davidson but not much else.

After a not-so-brief hiatus, Dave is back to start the trilogy about his 40th high school reunion. Enjoy (one of us should).

Did Dave tell you about his degree from Cambridge? Well, he's going to do it again (and again and again...).

Sometimes things are more obvious to Dave, but then again other times... let's just say he's a work in progress.

So Dave's been retired for about a month. What has he done with his time and why does he need so many naps?

Remember how fun sixth grade was? Me neither. But the good news is that I'm almost over it...

In the return of the Thousand Word podcast, Dave looks back at his working career and wonders if it made any difference.
