A quick life update episode.

May is always a time of year that puts me in the mood to remember things.

I talk about what has gone on this past month and talk about a major life event that happens every May for my wife and me.

Also I perform "We Danced" by Brad Paisley and talk about its significance for the two of us.

On this episode I talk about the ups and downs of owning a home in the United States.

How did I come to own this home? What are the things I did not expect in being a homeowner? What are the benefits of owning a home?

All that a I perform a version of House of Gold, originally performed by the group Twenty- One Pilots.

Also please let me know if you are interested in supporting this show. We recently lost our one and only advertisement. Would you be interested in paying a small fee just to have an extra episode every once in a while or to continue listening to the episodes I put our regularly?

Have a wonderful day.

Today we ask our friendly AI to write a script about silence and the human brain.

We start with talking a little about AI and how it has become a part of almost every part of our lives.

Next we dive into the topic that I ask the AI to write about, silence and the effect on the human brain.

Today's piece of music is The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel and the cover by Disturbed.

February 2023 has had its ups and downs.  I have been feeling very off my game lately and just need to talk about it. 

I also include a couple of my favorite songs to play as a comfort to me. Please enjoy and I hope this episode brings a bit of comfort to us all. 

In this episode I take a look back on some of the singing that has gotten me to where I am today. 

We start with a long walk down memory lane by listening to four pieces from my senior recital in college, dated 2007 on those performances. 

We then finish with some newer performances recorded because of the pandemic in 2020. 

I hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful time listening in. 

This month we are continuing a tradition of having my oldest son Edward join us for the first episode of the year. 

Quick warning here, do not listen with very young children, as Edward has recently discovered that some of the mythical creatures he once believed in are not actually real. I do not want to be the reason this is spoiled for anyone. 

We talk about Christmas, the coming new year, the things that have happened this year and much, much more. 

This month we go back to basics and have an episode where I sing. 

I have been wanting to get more music into this podcast for a while now and holiday songs seemed the perfect topic to do that. 

Sit back and enjoy as I go through some of my favorite holiday songs, talk about them and perform them on this episode. 

Most people have to cook sometimes. 

How do we feel about cooking?

What are your stories about cooking and do you enjoy it?

Let me know @TomSedWhat on Twitter and enjoy my stories about cooking on this episode. 

Anyone else have a problem with a Christmas display in September? 

I cannot stand Holiday Creep, where one holiday moves into the stores before the previous holiday has even happened. 

Let me know what you think while I rant about it on this episode. 

We all have stories about the people we work with. 

As a teacher my stories come from not only the teachers that I interact with every day, but also the students. 

Here are some of me favorites.
