This is a different episode for me. You can tell I struggled with the episode not only because I was unprepared but by the fact because my visiting family member confirmed the latest life decisions that I've made. Not by advice or by action - just simply showing up. YOu ever have anyone like that?

You ever had one small significant event/person help you decide on a major life decision? What's going on with restaurant equipment going out here in Portland?

This is happening to me again - an executive visiting our office at the wrong time. Every time I have family visiting (twice a year) - someone happens to come into our office for a 'visit'. To make matters worse - I spend a lot of time creating a WOT (waste of time) presentation that they look at for about 30 seconds - at best.

It's rainy and muggy in Portland, OR. Yes, you read that right. Seems that I can't escape the weather. This and how it shows we're going into fall with kids going back to school = traffic.

One of my shortest episodes ever. Just wanted to get your takes on how long breaking up with someone should take - the actual process. Also, is couples therapy even worth it? I don't think so. What do you all think?

Why does the city government have to close down the city for an event? Why not just have it at city hall? Also, do film critics say the opposite of the obvious just to draw into a conversation? I think so.

Spoiler alert - In this episode, I talk about my experience watching 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' and how it took liberties steering away from its original source. granted, the original source didn't give much detail about this story. It doesn't feel like an intense horror movie or something even affiliated with Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Yours truly just celebrated his birthday alone and loved every minute of it. Why is it that when people find this out they feel bad for you? Even worse, they try to give you advice on how to celebrate YOUR birthday.

In this episode, I cover a few rants. I actually had food on my face and no one told me. I had a good night's sleep but still wokeup tired. Lastly, why does trash pick up day have to begin so early - especially with collecting the glass bottles?!

Wow, we're already halfway through the year. My thoughts and plans. What's yours?
