Tom Sed What?

On this episode I talk about how so many people have no idea how a credit card is meant to work when buying something.

I also spend some time talking about the idea of Spring Break and how it just feels a little strange to me.

Today I discuss why this episode was "late" and how my desire to make these episodes has been taking a little bit of a hit.

Then I go on to talk about something that I am excited about, the district wide concert that I am headed to direct almost right after this episode is posted.

Let me rant about the statistics about reading in 2025 and reflect on my reading journey over the years.

As is tradition around here we start the year with a conversation with my older son Edward.

We talk about some things, but we mostly try to break through his tween sarcasm and try to get to a real answer every now and then.

Enjoy.

Today we talk about the many different experiences I have had in performing for Holiday, mostly Christmas, concerts.

I also feature a couple of recordings of some holiday songs.

On this episode we find out that I have been too busy to get an episode out for September 2024, sorry about that.

We also talk about minor league baseball, something that I think might just be one of the most under-rated entertainment opportunities in the small towns of the United States.

We finish up with a rant about how Halloween needs to stay in October and not be allowed to take over the last couple weeks of September as well.

All that and more on this episode of Tom Sed What?

Today we talk about the Emergency Room and how it has become an essential part of life for many people in the United States.

We then dive into some stories about my personal experiences with the Emergency Room and how those events have inspired this particular episode.

This summer in much of the Midwest United States we have some long lost bug friends joining us.

My take on the Cicadas and how they are making a splash this summer.

Have you ever just gone to work when you were not feeling 100%?

Well you have participated in something called Presenteeism and apparently it is just as bad if not worse than just calling in sick for the day.

All that and more on this episode.
