Today is my birthday and I'm forcing myself to post short podcasts every week for a year like I used to do 12 years ago when I was 30.  Bare with me as i find a groove and get back into it. I'll be a bumpy start.  I'll be Riffing, Joking, talking about things I learned, and as Olivia Rodrigo says "Blah Blah Blah."  Today I talk about the start of my year, turning 42, rabies, cocaine, ketamine, fentanyl, taylor swift's new tortured poets department, and tacos.  Thanks for listening to any of this.
