What would happen if you were to drop Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts into a Columbo episode? Not original Columbo. New Columbo. Dark, dangerous Columbo. This is what would happen.

In this one, the Children of Israel are tired of wandering around the desert eating nothing but crackers and the occasional manna. Moses sends Joshua up ahead to see what's there.

This is from my new micro novella, HIGHWAY 44, REVISITED. It's a tale of biblical proportions. In this episode, we relive the days of The Flood, when water covered the earth, and Noah, with no previous boating experience, gathered two of each kind of animal and set sail for parts unknown.

I applied for a job at the fireplace shop. Didn't think too much about it, the description sounded like every other job on Indeed. But then I visited the website and poked around the LinkedIn profiles, and WOW! "The Most Interesting Boss in the World!" As if he'd read my bio, where I describe myself as a cross between The Most Interesting Man in the World and Colonel Sanders. And the website gave me a whole new appreciation for fireplaces! It's just a small leap from how I play with fire in my Webers. I was so excited I went down the next day and met one of the hiring managers. The visit went well, he liked my energy, but you know how jobs go. There could be a friend of the boss, or someone who doesn't like me saying something. You just never know. But here's what I think of fire, water, earth, and air.

My wife's been watching that Netflix series, Blown Away, the one about the glass blowers. I watched them blowing candy out of glass, and it got me thinking, why doesn't somebody combine a glass blowing studio with a candy store. Wouldn't that be freakin' AMAZING???

In this episode, I recorded an intro video for the position of Assistant Program Director at WOW 104.3 Country here in Boise. I have no prior radio experience, but maybe they've got some other opening that would be a good fit. Regardless, I'm throwing my hat into the ring, and let's see what happens.

Here's a link to the video:

At breakfast this morning, my friend Jim said "hey, why don't you tell The Story of The Push Button Pee Pee on your podcast?" He's already seen the story over at YouTube.com/@lbkatz. So I thought, you know what, I'll go you one better. I'll tell The Story BEHIND The Story of The Push Button Pee Pee. It's no ordinary story. It may have been a factor behind my getting fired from the credit union, although so far I can't prove it. It'd be great if I could, because that would mean ageism and a wrongful termination lawsuit. Until I can do that, though, I'll have to be satisfied with what I did end up with, which is nothing.

Here in Boise, there's nowhere to get decent hot chocolate. Unless you make your own. Which I did, eventually. Here's an excerpt from today's show:

Coffee and hot chocolate are generally incompatible, but I needed something to tide me over the coffee withdrawals. The thought of the overly sweet, watery coffeehouse variety didn’t appeal to me. Besides, too expensive. But I’d been experimenting with chocolate bars and sweetened condensed milk at home. This could be exactly what I needed to keep me from going through the drive through ceiling.

An excerpt from the latest episode:

I convinced myself that hot chocolate is good for me. Not the kind in a pouch. The kind you have to get up half an hour early to make, because it involves measuring and mixing ingredients. Cocoa powder and chocolate bars have iron in them. Now I feel like Iron Man. I’ve gotten so good at hot chocolate, I’m pitching a workshop to Williams Sonoma called SOME LIKE IT HOT CHOCOLATE. I’ll have to use their gadgets, which spoils the purity of the concept. I’m not happy about that, but I can live with some compromise, as long as I’m being paid.
